The feature of the races at the saucer
track last evening was the quarter-mile
SamIelsOn and Eddie Smith, the latter
making his first appearance on the track
TINS year. The riders qualified in the
Two tast trial heats and a hard fight in
the final was looked for. Much to the
surprise OF many. Samuelson got off the
mark first and made the Jump for home
from the start. Hopper and Smith were
right after him. however with Holman

The two-mile lap race, professional,
was also an interesting event ain this
race SamuelSOn was after the lap money
and jumped to the pole at the crack of the
gun he led for three laps when Ley
land, the last years amateur iumped
from behind and took three straight laps
The lap money began to look good to
Johnsie Chapman at this stage of the
round dollars. when SamueIson and Ley
land again butted into the lap money.
Holman, who was lying back, jumped
two laps from home and took first money,
with yards to spare.
The unlimited pursuit race between
Redman and Agraz resulted in san easy
victory for AgraZ. Redman was too anx-
ious to win at the start and cut out
pace that would kill a horse in two
Redman all in and Agraz picking him
up at leisure
The motors appeared for the first time
THIS year, IN a mile race between Chap
man and SamueisOn. Chapman took the
lead from the start and made a runaway
event of it. landing first by over half
lap, in the fast time of 1:25 As.
The first good fall of the season Oc-

May Thorne, Tom WINNER, jr. s, mare,
had plenty of speed, but went off her
feet at critical jUnctures- In the first
heat she broke at the first quarter and
lost considerable distance. When she re-
covered she made up the lost distance by
some fast work and came into the stretch
with the leaders. When it came to the
drive she went up in the air and was
beaten several lengths

exception was the running race, in which
Jockey Mattress was fined so by the
