The opening days races at the Inter
state track were great success. The
rain god was quite evidently satisfied
with his work of the preceding day,
and had put some of the rain lmps to
| work thoroughly corking up all the
leaks. A compromise no doubt had
been agreed upon between him and
the sun, for, after sending a few more
tears toward the earth, the good old
Sol took whirl at the atmosphere, and
between the two there was effected
condition that resulted in windy,
cold and dreary day, with just enough
of sun thrown in to encourage large
attendance at the racetrack
And what races-even the condition
of the atmosphere could not cool the
heat to which the enthusiasm of the
talent had risen. The ladies were there
doubly strong all in their glad rags,
stunning effects and cute, dainty and
magnificent millinery creations.
Everybody seemed satisfied with the
way the races were run, too, although
in the eleventh there were those who
persisted that Modder should not have
been pulled so hard by Jockey Ashley
on coming into the stretch.
The poolmakers were given some
rather hard rubs during the day and
only on the last two events did the
talent get handed anything like the old
original package of chewing gum.
The excitement in every event on
the card was most intense and partlcu'
larly in the first running. when Dun

the right dope on him and conse'

happy.
Sharply at ! o'clock the 2:l5 pace
was on, and after very little delay.
Starke.-. Polka Dot, Bensurba and
County Attorney got off in as pretty
start as could have been asked for.
But from the first word go it was quite
evident that there was nothing to It
but Starkey Not once during the two
heats was he in any danger of being
overhauled. The excellent driving of
Martinagel kept the great animal well
in hand and he "hiked" along with
machine-like regularity and stepped OF
the distance with never break. The
only time he came near being in the
least danger was in the second heat
when County Attorney, driven by
HAYES, legged it after the big side
wheeler in a squirt just before entering
the stretch.

the animals away but when once start

J. J. JEFFR|ES
BARS THE
BLACK

Billy Delaney has offered bunch
of reasons why Jim JeifrieS should con
tinue to draw the color line and refuse
to fight Sam McNey. Jack johnson
or any other colored heavyweight who
springs up. Delaney is afraid there
would be a race war if a colored man
should win the championship. There
is little reason for Delaney to fear
that Jeffries. might lose such a fight.
AT present there is no general call for
Jeffries to fight a colored man and that
is the best reason why he can refuse
with safety to his reputation. Still It
