GOOD RACES AT FAIR
Gentle Lady Wins 2:45 Trot in Good
Time-Loomis Is Charged With
Pulling Black Lady.
Brown Sam Has an Easy Victory in
the 200 Jockey Is
Seriously Hurt.

yesterday afternoon furnlSned SOOQ sport
Cor a crowd that entirely filled the large
stands. The usual delays attendant to
races at fair were there but the rough
edges are smoothed down now and the
officials promise everything that can be
asked for. 1t would help considerably If |
Mr.. McElroy, the starter, would make
good some of his threats and tighten the !
pockets of a few drivers who continually |
forced him to the bell The first heat OF
the first race required ten scores before |
they got the word The judges might re-
lieve the situation somewhat also if they |
were to procure pair of field glasses and
follow the horses around the track.
In the third heat of the 2:45 trOt Ames. |
behind Gentle Lady, entered a protest |
against Bird L. who won that heat. Ames |,
claimed that Ayers, who was driving Bird |
L. deliberately pulled in ahead Of him and
forced him into the fence causing Gentle
Lady to break and lose the heat. Ayers
had the lead at the time and said that as
Ames came up alongside Bird l. went to a
break and sWerved as he pulled her up
The judges first set Bird l. back to
Fourth place. giving the heat to Stephen
l., but afterwards changed their minds
and the heat stood they came under the
wire. After this heat they also took
LOOMS out and put Carr in behind Black
Lady, who was, without any doubt, being
held back Again they changed their
minds at the last minute and replaced
LOOMS. but the result made no difference.
II Is to be regretted that a change was
not made early in the race as the result
might nave been very different. 1t looked
all along as If Black Lady could have
stepped ahead at any point Of the game.
Easy for Brown SAM
BroWn Sam won the 2:O9 pace without
Delng extended at any time. He took the
first and second heats by five lengths
a nd flo
jog, two lengths to the good Interest in
thls race lay IN the fight for second mon
ey' Mlnnehaha getting It, though pressed
nara by Diodene. who got second in the
last neat just at the wire. Fred, the Kid
made strong bid in this heat for second
pace ana the three came down the stretch
together, not more than half sulkies apart,
Inc second race, the 2:45 trot, brought
OUT good field of horses with Rlac,1
Lady. driven by LOOMS. picked to win bv
those that knew the green ones She
was not driven out. however, and ONLY
got third money. Gentle Lady was the
pest OF the others and would have won in
stralsht heats except for the accident ir
tne tnlrd, which let Bird l.. in, giving the
tier second money. All th:. finishes in
thls race were close, the horses, with
me exception stated. being driven out.
Inc track was soft next to the pole and
Shey kept we'll out toward the middle
Wnlch was rather cuppy and cut up. The
wind was across the track and rather
helped than tnterfered with the horses,
considering the conditions the time made
was very fair
The runners did not attract so much at
sention though the hurdle races was in
teresting.
Jockey Is Injured.
Bert Peters. a Jockey riding one of the
horses in tho half mile running race, was
thrown from his horse and seriously in
jured.
Peters was mounted on Havel, owned
BY Carr. The horse proved a difficult
one to CT ntrol and in the first heat, in
bringing the animal to stop and avoiding
another horse crowding it against the
fence, Peters slipped off the horses neck
but was uninjured.
The animal got away we'll in the second
heat, and traied along with the bunch I'M
I'll the back stretch was reached. Here,
by mistake the attendants had put up a
hurdle thinking it was a hurdle race
Instead Of the fiat half mile The first
horses took tho hurdle, although one of
them stumbled and recovered itself.
Directly i'll front Of Havel, however, was
O green horse which refused to take the
hurdle and stopped short. Peters was
urging mis- animal ahead, and Havel start
ed to take the hurdle, but collided with
the green horse ahead. Peters was thrown
violently to the track, and the rest of the
field passed over him. The riderless horse
continued in the race and finished sew
enth.
Peters staggered and grasped his heat
when he got up, and was helped off the
field by attendants. His left eye and tn,
left side of his face We're badly bruised
and he was bruised upon the body, whar,
the horses stepped on him. His left arm
and shoulder were bruised by the har,
fall to the track, and it was believed tina
his collar bone was broken The dirt O
the track was ground into his eye by tn
fall and his left eye swollen shu
within a few minutes.
Peters WAS made comfortable as pos
gible by the attendants.
