ed with a better attendance was run
off at Agricultural park yesterday aft
ernoon. The first heat in the three
year-old trot was productive of the
keenest finish of the meeting, when
Kennith c. and Princess Louise flashed
between the sticks nose and nose. The
talent was slipped the worst jolt of the
meeting in this same race. Kennith
c. captured the first mile by inches
and Dad" Trefreys colt possessed
all kinds of backing when he scored
for the word in the second heat. But
a break coming out of the back stretch.
and the falling of the distance flag put
Trefrey's footer out of the reckoning
for the following heat
In the first heat the field of three
was sent away to a fair start, Prin-
cess Louise having the pole and Mo-
sher's Osoola on the outside position.
Kennith C. assumed lead of several
lengths at the quarter pole with Prin-
cess Louise hanging on desperately.
osoola trailed throughout the mile and
was never a dangerous contender for
the wire. At the head of the stretch the
three-year- -olds were coming neck and
neck with little to choose between them.
At the hundred-yard pole Kennith C.
drew out a bit and managed to poke
his muzzle over the line inches ahead
of the flying brown filly.
Kennith G. apparently had the next
heat bundled up until the fatal half
pole appeared within hailing distance.
Kennith G. and Princess Louise were
stepping along in a manner that prom
ised another neck and neck finish, but
Trefrey's colt lost his stride and fell
into the ruck with Osoola banging past
after the Princess. Trefrey couldn't do
anything with his youngster until it
was too late, being obliterated by the
red flag, while Princess Louise did
find it necessary to extend herself to
dispose of Osoola, lengths the right side
of the wire.
Kennith G. was practically certain
of the race until the fatal break ended
Trefrey's expectations Of the long end
of the purse.
suit Of the next two heats was a fore
gone conclusion, Osoola being out
classed by Mrs. Hastings filly. The
two trotters were sent away to a per-
feet start in the third heat, Princess
Louise assuming the lead in the first
eighth and won by two lengths
pulled up. In the fourth and deciding
mile Osoola put up a better race than
her previous showing gave ground to
expect. Mosher handled the ribbons on
Osoola and got everything possible out
of the three-year-old. At the head of
the stretch Mosher's footer appeared to
have it bit on the Princess but the
glly responded to the whip in the
final drive and pounded over an easy
winner.
Wild Bell Takes 2:27
1t took five heats to pick the winner
in the 2:27 trot for the Charles Saddler
stakes. Wild Bell, who finished fifth
and fourth in the first two heats,
showed a rather disturbing reversal
of form by winning the following three
miles in driving finishes. Modoc was
the public's choice for the first heat,
and romped in a winner by lengths.
Tailsman, big, ungainly geIding from
Silva Brothers string, demoralized the
field in this heat, running the greater
part of the mile and meriting being
sent to the stable Modoc had all he
could do to take care of the bit of Old
Hickory and Glennita in the final
drive, but when called upon to step for
the wire he was equal to the occasion.
In the second heat, given the pole
Modoc led the field to the three
quarter pole, but Old Hickory came
through in lightning drive and nosed
out Modoc for the wire. Wild Bell only
succeeded in cinching the fourth posi-
tion in this heat and did nothing to
warrant her work in the following
three miles.
A fair start characterized the third
heat. Old Hickory held the lead on
the field to the quarter pole, when Wild
Bell began to come up. At the half
Wild Bell and Hickory were measuring
lengths. At the head of the stretch
they were nicely punched for the first
position, but Wild Bell came away at
the draw gate and pulled up with the
heat In the two heats Wild Bell had
to stall off the bid of Miss Mabel, show
ing her staying qualities by forcing the
fleet gelding in both miles.
The 2:24 pace resulted in the fastest
mile of the day. Virginia, handled by
Maben, was fit and ready. and showed
her class when the real racing began.
Captain Newton had a hard time get
ting the horse off In the last heat and
finally imposed fine OF $40 on George
Founder for persistently scoring in
front of the pole horse.
Money divided 50, 25. Is and 10 per cent.
