went without pacemaker, and proved
to the crowd that if it was necessary ne
could reel off a mile pretty close to his
record, which is 2:04. He is a handsome
IeliOW, moves like a piece of machinery
and won favor among all the horsemsn
present on account of his being such
clean-gaited smooth-going performer. He

no trouble whatever in keeping his gait.

the last heat, but he threw a. shoe at the
start. and just barely got inside the dis

third, with the balance close up.

to race for the wire but the little
stallion out by nose, with Pale Face
third.
In the third heat Fauna Glenn, who
had apparently more speed than could
be gotten out Of her by her owner, chang
ed drivers, and when Billy Matthews
climbed up on the sulky the crowd said

they were not disappointed They all
got away to fair start and maintained
their positions well into the stretch when
Fauna Glen, E. j. M. Jr and Lady
Volante drew away from the balance and
came under the wire noses apart, Fauna
Glenn's nose was ahead Of E. J. NJ Jr
and Lady Volante was third. This was
the most excitig heat of the entire race,
and the driving finish brought out loud
cheer from the crowd.
Now that Fauna Glen had got her
courage up to the right point she went
in and took the next two heats without
any apparent effort E. j. NJ Jr how
ever was always in the race and he was
never beaten out of second place, al
though when it came to dividing the
prize he had to be content with third.
