FAST MILE AT FAIR
Minneapolis Horse Almost
Leaves His Field Behind
the Distance Flag.

for-all pace was the feature of the sec
ond day of racing at the state fair.
After landing the first heat of the race
in easy fashion, the Minneapolis horse
turned loose a sudden burst of speed
in the second heat, and, coming down
the stretch like a ewhirlwind, crossed
under the wire for a 2:08A mile, one
of the fastest miles ever paced on the
fair grounds track. The field of three
coming behind barely escaped the dis
lance flag.
1t was another ideal day for racing,
and another large crowd packed the
stands. Mondays grand stand record
still stands for the fair of 1903, for,
with Dan Patch off the card, many of
the visitors refused to confine their at
tention to the race and spent the after
noon sightseeing about the grounds.
The race programme was good one,
though an unfortunate spill in the hur-
die race threatened to mar the after
Moons exhibition. Five horses start
ed in this event, which was run off on
the half-mile track.
Reaching the half mile and when di-
rectly in front of the grand stand, the
horses, RUNNING in a bunch, rose for the
jump. Broadway and Colo cleared the
hedge, but Assassin struck the top,
and Hattie Davis, unable to stop, leap
ed into the woodwork and, tripping,
of the stable men picked up the jockey
Welsh, riding Hattie Davis, went down
with the horse, and from the grand
stand the jockey appeared to fall di-
rectly under the rolling horse.
The impression that Welsh was Sc
riously injured grew when a number
of the stable men licked up the jockey
and carried him to the paddock.
Welsh, however, was not badly hurt
and was able to wash and change to
his street clothes. In falling he was
thrown to one side, and Hattie Davis
fal h RI
Welshs right ankle and bruised his
leg, but beyond this the boy escaped
injury.
Daveron Runs Away.
Jockey Bradford, on the horse Dav-
eron, afforded the stands considerable
amusement at the start of the second
heat of the half-mile DASH The start
er refused to send the field away on the
first attempt, but Daveron would not
turn back, and, beyond the control Of
the jockey, dashed around the half-mile
track. Bradford tried to stop his mount.
at the end of the half mile, but the run
away continued and made the circuit
five times at a fast gait. At the start
OF the sixth lap mounted policeman
started after the runaway, and after
long hard chase, caught the animal and
brought him to a STOP
Kent had it all his own way in the
2:21 trot, winning three straight heats
far ahead of his field. Red Arthur had
a harder time with second place, but
managed to follow Kent in in the first
two heats. In the third heat Anna Dill.
Ion. with Curry using the whip, pulled
the second place from Red Arthur when
but few yards from the wire.
Annabel c had no trouble in taking
the three heats Of the 2:24 pace. Allen
f came in strong for second place in
this heat, but was distanced in the sec
ond, Billy S last in the first heat, taking
the second place. In the third heat
Billy went lame and lost his chance.
The Minneapolis horse was distanced,
second place going to Ora Maps.
Nine horses were entered for the
free-for-a all pace, but the entries were
withdrawn until the starting time
found only Goshen Jim, Angus Oh So
Prince Stevens and Red Strath left
Prince Stevens finished second in the
first heat, but dropped back to fourth
in the second, giving second place in
the race to Angus Oh So, owned and
driven by j. S. Bradley, of ST. Paul.
