Two automobile races, run in heats,
were the exciting features of the day.
The time made in the different heats
was slow.
While the attendance was not large,
several fashionable parties occupied
the boxes.
The greatest interest appears to CEN

sport is so new to people here that
they are anxious for all they can get
at this time. and the fact that the
racing may not at all times be UP to
the top notch apparently makes no
difference. The sight of bunch OF
the big chufhng machines. speeding
about the track, is most thrilling.
Charles P. Joy, Of ST. Paul, won the
honors in the two and three-mlle
dashes given yesterday. He was the
master of the situation in both races,
holding the lead from start to finish.
