of the track and then sent away at the
first score She was turned only 50
yards from the wire and given a short
start, rs Willard Sanders. who drove
her. well knew she was short" and
would not be able To go the whole dis
lance at her best clip. She went away
slowly, but gained a terrific Roadway
before she reached the first turn, and
reeled off the first quarter in :29at.
Still increasing her speed she passed
the half in :59H. Going up the back
stretch and rounding the far turn the
mare had to face the wind. and al
though a runner picked her up at the
half she was only able TO reach the
three-qUarters pole in 1:29A. From
this point on Sanders was forced to
drive hard to keep the mare going. AS
her trainer predicted before the trial.
she was able to last to the seven
eighths pole and no farther, but under
the whip she fought her way down the
stretch and finished the mile all in in
2:01H.
The mare will be sent again Friday.
In speaking of the coming trial, Mr..
Sanders said: IF the weather Is cool
and the track fast l Will send the mare
close around two minutes or never
drive another trotter as long as | live.
She needs one fast mile to do another.
And l caught her today in 2:01."

Would Use Peat as Fuel.

Frank V. Newell of Chicago is in the
city today with an option for $780,
600 on the right TO introduce in Iowa
the briquette peat fuel, the newly per
fected product of the United States
Peat Fuel company of Chicago. For
this fuel it is claimed that it has turn
ed back the pendulum of time and
eliminated the period of time between
this and the carboniferous age. In
other words. the work of J. Campbell
Morrison. consulting engineer of the
Peat Fuel company, has demonstrated
that a grade of fuel equal to the best
anthracite can be pressed out of bog
earth, making possible the production
of intense heat at a low cost.
