MADE IN A 6Ix-HEATS RACE AT
COLUMBUS BY THE
PAGERS
MOST SENSATIONAL RACING
EVER SEEN THERE

the Race, Defeating Fred S. Wedge
wood-Border Wins the 2:12 Trot in
Slow Time, Though Leola Was the
Favorite.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 30-Eighteen
hard-fought heats were decided on the
second day of the Columbus grand cir
cult meeting and the racing was the
most sensational ever witnessed over
the local track. The 2:09 PAGERS made
worlds record for a six-heat race the
average time for the six miles being
exactly 2:$6A. Three heats of this race
were paced on Monday, and when the
event was taken up today, Fred S.
Wedgewood had two heats to his credit
and Capt. Sphinx one. Wedgewood
was an even money favorite over the
field, but he did not have his usual
speed, and Dan r took three straight
heats and the race. The race was the
first on the card and the track was
still heavy on the inside, owing to the
hard rains of yesterday. The horses
were compelled to go long miles and
under the circumstances, Dan Rs first
heat in 2:O6A was equal to mile in
2:05 or better. He paced the last quar-
ter of the sixth heat in :301s
The PIP trot went through seven
heats, each of which was bitterly
fought. Leola was the favorite at $50
to $50 for the field of seven. She trot-
T.,
was won by Border in slow time. The
next two went to Leola, who trotted
the third in 2:10A, reducing her rec
ord a full second. The fast mile was
too much for her, and she could not
get up again. Dan 7, always a con-
tender, after the first heat. won the
fourth. Then Hudson uncovered the
roam four-year- mare Hawthorne
xub0 oid
and won, the next three and, the race.
making a record of 2:12A- Leola made
a bid for first money in the final heat,
but was out trotted by Hawthorne in
the stretch.
The blind stallion Rhythmic, winner
of the M. & M. stake, outclassed his
field in the $4,000 stake for 2:23 trot-
ters, and won as he pleased.
The General, from the Ketcham farm,
was played for the place, but broke
hopelessly in the third heat and was
distanced. The 2:25 pace, two in three
heats, went to Pearl Lester, after C
I had taken the first heat Junius,
the even money favorite, was not
prominent until the last heat, when he
failed to catch the Lester mare. The
2:19 trot was postponed until tornor-
row, after Ella Lee and Miss Johnson
had each taken a heat. 1t was an
nounced today that Byron McHenry
will drive the unbeatena PAGER Dan
Patch, 2:03%, a mile to- beat 2:01N,
