humor and thoroughly enjoyed the
events. The association has provided
an excellent program for the week and
the events pulled off yesterday were
live and the good management in
promptly disposing of each race is to
be commended. There were two events
yesterday on the track of special merit

by Queen B. in three straight heats and
the Opening Handicap" for 3h fur
longs for a purse of $3.50. The latter
was "a running race and was won by
Roseleaf after an exciting finish. In
this event there were six entries. Big
Dutch, Scorcher, Young Pepper, Joe
Jewett, Roseleaf, Dix second started
and there were many who professed to
be next to the game that Big Dutch
should have taken the money but Rose
leaf carried off the prize after trailing
| third place nearly to the wire when
she forged ahead. When the flag
| dropped Big Dutch was off in the lead
with Joe Jewett following close in.
Roseleaf was in the midst of the rest
Of the string until the home stretch
when it was noticed that the jockey
was urging the Parker mare with the

lead for the full length Of the stretch.
