stull was warming her up. she ran
away for full mile, threw her driver
and raised Cain generally, and this is
given as the reason she did no better
in the race. In the second heat she
was giving Flashlight a merry chase
for second place, when the driver of
the latter horse drove directly in front
of her In the last quarter and forced
her back TO third. Flashlight was set
back 10 last pace for this, though the
horse finished second.
There were very few people at
Fountain park who had any idea that
Thelma Simmons would win the 2:26
trot, but she did so, nevertheless. in
straight heats. The judges and a
great many spectators believed that
w. NJ. Scharrard, owner and driver
Of Mack s., was not getting all that
was In his horse. and after Mack S.
had finished two feats in second place
Scharrard was called to the judges
stand and cautioned to drive to win.
There were others who had an idea
that Mack s. could do better than had
been done, and after the lecture had
been read to Scharrard, many bets
were made that he would win the next
heat. II was Thelma Simmins, just
the same. and then the judges held
n consultation, and fined Scharrard
$50 for improper driving. Horse and
driver are suspended from the circuit
until the fine is paid. Billy George
was not started in this race, though
good things had been expected of him.
The meet was big success in many
ways, The Akron Trottlng associa-
tloD made some money, and provided
better racing than Akron folks had
ever seen here before Akron horses
won but little money and some that
had been entered. such as Lottle Bay
ard, Tony b., and Grace Elyria did not
start.
There was heavy betting on all three
days, and long shots won in sufficient
number so that the sport was not all
for the benefit of the bookmakers, by
any means. The races will be ut
Nenla next week, and 1t was stated
Mt the track Friday afternoon that all
the classes for the Warren meet had
been filled already, so that there will
be good sport there, Most of the horse
men and their animals have already
left the city, and the biggest race
meet IN Akron's history Is now but
II thing TO be remembered There will
be another meet at the time of the
county fair, and II Is promised that
there will he some more good races
then. The summary:
2:15 Class Pacing Purse S400.
