THE RACES ARE GREAT
Continued from Page -

This race was one of the most in
tensely exciting contests in heats Of
the afternoon. 1t was nobody's race
until the end Of the fifth heat, which
was required to determine the contest.
The crowd and book makers had plen-
ty Of speculation as to what was 60
ing to happen next,
Rubber Neck dfaw the pole and
there was d little trouble in getting
away the first time, az Rubber Neck
was a bad actor and broke and did all
manner of things not becoming in a
Well behaved animal.
Jennie L. picked out the heat easily
although Bonnie Bird forged ahead for
a time and looked likely winner. 1t
was a pretty contest. All of the rae
ers were in a bunch and it is seldom
that field of so many starters is Sc
closely punched.
The second heat witnessed a very
pretty piece of driving. Jennie l.. did
not have the pole much beyond the
first quarter. Bonnie Bird was drivec
successfully past her and was pulled
over next the fence and led by a
couple of lengths. The place was not
to be given up without struggle, how
ever. Jennie L. speeded up, passed
Bonnie Bird and dropped into the leao

and to first place under the wire as
naturally as though she had always
been there. But it was a close and
exciting finish and Jennie won by Just
a nose.
Jennie, however, had overdone the
matter. In the third heat she finished
sixth and in the fifth keat she was dis
tanced. Isabelle w. became a candi-
date for big piece of the money in
the third heat by getting under the
wire first. In the first half of the heat
the PAGERS were all in close company.
First one nose poked ahead and then
another, but in the second half they
were strung out more and some cost
ly breaks were made. This let Isa-
belle in and won her second money in
the race.
Rubber Neck proved whats in a
name" by stretching out for the hon
ors and first place in the fourth heat.
The PAGER had been behaving badly
in the previous heats by breaking, bat
once down the steps were made long
and fast. None of the bunch could
pace like that and the animal came In
quite easily. The same was true of
the concluding heat. The PAGER had
been a favorite with many and the
supporters got even in these two
heats. 1t was a general surprise, how
ever, and made as pretty a contest as
an old track follower cares TO sea.
Running.
The running race Of the day was a
four and half furlongs dash. Eight
animals qualified for the race. The
finish came

/ Starter H. E. Woods had consider
able trouble with the jockeys in get
ting the runners away from the post
and the boys behaved in a manner
that will most likely debar them from
riding on this track again during the
meeting.
The road race by the Oskaloosa
Driving Club was won by DR.. Ellis
worths Admiral Schley." Ed Hills
silk Twister" was second and DR.
Parkers Cheerful was third. The
horses maintained these positions
during the two heats of the race. In
the second heat Ed Hill pushed the
Admiral very close for first place.

Results of the Yacht Races.

The yacht races at New York have
attracted general interest for the past
week, and our people generally have
been highly pleased at the success of
the Reliance defending the cup. The
first race was called last Thursday,
and while it was a failure for lack of
wind, yet the yachts sailed farenough
to demonstrate the superiority of the
American boat in very light weather,
which had been considered the Sham
rocks best opportunity. On Satur-
day the race was sailed over a course
Is miles to windward and return.
There was a strong WHOLESALE breeze,
and again the friends of Shamrock
III. asserted that it was just her kind
of weather. The result was a great
disappointment to them, as the Reli-
ance was again the victor by a little
over seven minutes. corrected time.
The second race was settled on Tues
day of this week, and again our yacht
was victorious, but by very narrow
margin. In this race the course was
triangular, ten miles to the side. The
Shamrock got bad start and lost
nineteen seconds by failing to cross
the starting line until after her time
limit had expired, so that the Ameri-
can boat had a good lead which she
increased right along, but so slowly
that her hackers became nervous.
There was a good strong breeze and
the time made was very close to the
record. The Shamrock was beaten 81
seconds actual sailing and corrected
time, but the decision against her was
10 seconds more on account of a bad
start.
The yacht race on Thursday was a
failure owing to lack of wind. but the
Reliance led from the start. The next
race will be tomorrow and if the Re-
liza nee wins. making three straight, it
will end the series.

Some of the unmarried members of
the K. P: lodge played a good joke
on the old married fellows Tuesday
night. The Rathbone Sisters were
having a meeting and the husbands
of the members were parading up and
down the street waiting for the show
to be over. The young fellows took
in the situation, slipped around to
the ice cream parlor, secured a gall
Ion and some cake and going to the
lodge room entertained the sisters
till late hour. Somehow the hus-
bands who had been taking in the
scenery of the stars for a couple of
hours failed to see the joke when ex-
planned to them.

Mr.. George w. Bidwell celebrated
his seventy-ninth birthday last Satur-

probably better informed on the
worlds happenings than any other
person in our town, as he is a great
student of current affairs. He attend
ed dinner party on his birthday and
kept up his share of the couvers att on
on every thing of interest with the

up his interest in the affairs of life he
never reaches old age-he simply in
creases the experience in life. We
congratulate Mr.. Bidwel1 and hope
