,,f the drivers teaming them the
sast they knew. They came round the
: .urn onto the home stretch like .
F'-birlwind with Lady st. Croix in the
Il ,a,d But Grace Lake worked her way
road by inches and in spite of all she
~o,,ld do it seemed that her nose would
~ behind when the wire was reached.
pnt she must have taken one or two
avtra long steps. for her nose was just
Cor enough ahead when they wpat M.
der the wire to show that She Has
sbaad. FROM some parts Of the field
:. looked like a dead neat but the diff
farence was plain from the stand and
.ha i11Iges gave it TO Grace Lake. The
lime Of this heat was: 81, 1.09,
L4Si4. 2-l9i-.
This heat gave Grace Lake the pole
nv rha third and she made the most
n tbe advantage. Aral picked her up
4or this heat and fought her hard
,broueh the mile, Lady st. Croix trail
mo But on the back stretch of the
second her driver called on her and she
ranidlv closed the gap, swinging into.
saaond place on the turn and driving
Grace Lake under the Wire. But Grace
lake would not he beaten that day and
baId Grst place al right.
The fourth heat was much easier
tban thr other three and the fighting
vas not 10 fierce. Grace Lake had this
all hcr ouu way and was not forced
,arv hard for the mile Lady st. CrOiX
finished easily in second place, the fin
ish being easy work. But it was a great
race and was alone well worth the
price Of admission.
gfa In ha rI9 a
furnished all the sport asked for in
that Miss Dixie took this in three
straicht, but she got lots of good scares
while doing it. Scribner drew the pole
for the first heat and took the lead,
Miss Dixie and Dyspepsia Cure coming
behind in the order named. ScTibner
hold the pole and lead through the first
half but lost it to Miss Dixie on the
FIRST turn of the second half, the latter
forging ahead with ease. Dyspepsia
c,,re then picked up Scribner and had
\ merry time with him until they
turned into the stretch on the last half
where she headed him and finished
second. doing the trick in way that
caught with the crowd. Scribner water
legged at the finish in spite of liberal
app1ication Of the whip and his driver
could not make him sprint for the wire.
Miss Dixie had the pole and every
thing all her own way in the second
heat. the fight being between Scribner
and Dvsnepsia Cure for second place,
the latter taking it again on the
stretch. In the third heat Dyspepsia
Cure let out a notch and made Miss
Dixie climb about the best she knew.
Her driver had to put on the whip on
the turn to The stretch and then had
some difficulty in keeping the lead.
This Is the first campaign for Dyspep-
sia Cure and she is showing up finely.
She wore hobbies in this race and
paced. going as true as could be de-
Sired ana responding to her driver in
fine stylc. Her trick Of coming around
strong ana fast onto the stretch and
showing her best pace there is neat
one ana viii probably win races for
her later. She seemed to enjoy her
work, doing 1t AL with ease. HOrsemen
who know her predict bright future
for her.
With good weather, Saturday after
noon. even better sport is anticipated
than that Of Friday. 4 free-for-ali. q
ga and 800 class are scheduled fol
the afternoon. The froe-for-all IS eE-
nectcd to be a sensational race. Some
fine horses are entered and viii make
it fierce fight. The other two classes

poet of big fields in all three. Some
great sport IS promised. The sum-
