The bright sunshine drew crowd to the
Speedway yesterday and the sport was high
class So eager were the drivers to resume
the sport that the morning programme was
started half an hour In advance Of the usual
time,
The first Of the advance guard to put In
an appearance was David Lamar behind the
BAY PAGER Nathan Straus. 2o5t.. and he had
scarcely got the Grand Circuit winner well
warmed when George Spear appeared behind
the chestnut PAGER General Agent. 2:l0h.
who has been kingpin since his advent
70 the Speedway. II did not take long for
the two drivers TO get into action and the
horses each went at the task OF winning
With n will that insured good contest.
Nathan Straus is high in flesh. but he seemed
10 have all the speed that made him a prom
inent winner last year and for the first time
the chestnut cham pion met Speedway COM
petitor that could get away just as fast and
keep at Il just as persistently as he had done
IN his long series Of winning events. When
the end Of the iron rail was rea ched Mr.. Spear
vent at General Agent in q determined man
ner, but the little chestnut was already at
bis limit and he Jumped from his stride.
II was nip and tuck from start to finish
in the second brush. General Agent had
q little the better OF the breakaway. but
Nathan Strsus came with a rush and put his
head on even terms before reaching the
qusrter-mile post. From this point to the
finish IL was seesaw. Sometimes one
end then the other seemed to have a triflins
advantage, but as they passed the finishing
posts Nathan Stratus had his head In front.
After turning Nathan Straus over to the
csretsker. Mr.. Lamar took the reins behind
the bay trotter The King. 2:iok. and as he
did not find any trotter In his class in the
crowd he sent the big-gsited trotter two
heats against the black PAGER David Mus
covite. ANY. driven by J. f. Meyer. A
contest between a trotter and q PAGER Is
rarely considered an equal one. and this
proved no exception to the rule. The King
put up a splendid battle. but he was carried
from his stride at the finish Of the first heat.
and the same thing occurred when half way
down the tobogsan slide In the second brush.
The best showing The King made was when
he met the trotter Queen wilkes. driven by
Georse Spear. While the Queen has been
and bids fair to remain inyincible The King
