A Large Crowd in
Attendance


tun loving crowd. That crowd
enthused by the bluest of blue skies
I ana the bracing atmosphere was en-
{ thusiastic and from the satisfaction
they evinced We're better pleased with
/ the racing events than on the day
previous.
There We're four scheduled events
with several extras, which filed in
the afternoon until late in the even
ing.
The first event was a special class
pace with a purse of 100000 hung
up for the event Willie w. and Ar
rec We're pulled OF and there were
/ but three entries for the event. Miss
[ Williams, the splendid mare owned
| by Charles c. Price and who is al
ways a tavorite was raced by Easton
Il Robinson, Z X Bell and Looking
out. This race was well contested
throughout, but Miss Williams took
the pole in each heat and at no time
was there any question of her winning
each one OF the three heats paced
Miss Williams was driven by Eastun
and he had a hard time to hold the
little animal back, so as to make
good showing with the horse Look
ingout. The latter animal was well
driven and for "A three-year-old gives
much promise. Miss Williams seems
in better fettle this year than last
and has 90 to her which she did not
seem to have at last years races.
She is a remarkable animal con
sidering her age and is being well
handled.
The time of the three heats were:
2:30 a, 2:26 y and 2;30la.
The second racing event was a
three-year-old pacing event. purse
$4,000. There were three entries
for this race, Peggy. Nugget and
Uintah Chief. There was much in
terest in this race as two of the
horses are well known here. Al all
times Peggy was out OF the race and
it was between Nugget and Uintah
Chief, owned by Marshall Graham
Chief. Nugget was not the favorite
at first, but by her honest manner
on the track soon won friends. Uintah
Chief, owned by Marshall Graham is
fine looking black with fine
strain OF bioo, but he did not ap-
parently have the bottom to go a mile
and he appeared tagged after the
first heat.
He also had an unfortunate habit
when coming up for a close race OF
of the heats. Nugget took all three
2:521a, 2:56 and 3 0615.
The third event was three-quarter
of mile run for a purse of $4,000.
Pen Point, Vacallo and Red Damsel
We're the entries. Red Damsel did
not get a good start, but she stole
the pole and kept in the lead the
balance of the distance. 1t was a
hard race between Nacollo and Red
Oamsel and the time was 1;1SI5
The one mile novelty race fooled
good many. The reputation of Joe
d. as first class race horse was
well known and many placed their
money on that animal. While it was
well known that he was a half and
three-quarter mile horse, it was
thought probably that he had been
pushed up to the mile limit and would
do as well in the mile as he did in the
half-mile at previous contests. Vel
don was well known as a slayer, but
everybody anticipated that John d
could play the half and beat Weldon.
Their surprise when Joe d. had to run
hard to beat Weldon TO the half mile
pole and then he simply cantered
around the balance of the mile,
Weldon being the only horse to run
the full distance. Considerable
money was placed on Joe ID, winning
other entry and Fillmore were not in
it at any time. The time was not
given.
The above ended the regular pro
cram. There were between Indians
that we're out at the course and one
Of them won readily on Timber leg
red black thar seemed to be fay-
orlte. One of the jochies that had
ridden in the previous race rode an
other animal, and gave his Indian
competitor a hard race but could not
overlap him.
The event of the afternoon in
which the very greatest interest was
taken was the ladies' race, because
sauaw desired to run her horse in the
race. Several of the ladies refused
10 ride This was not well relished
by the grand stand and they called
on the ladies to forego their quibbles
about racing with an Indian glrl, bul
they were obdurate.
Miss Francis Corcoran was at an
times ready to ride and at last
was decided to have the race between
Miss Corcoran and the Indian maiden
When this announcement was haue
Miss Corcoran received genuine
ovation. The start was finally made
and il was a poor one for Miss Cor
eoran. The Indian girl had the po2ie
and everybody felt badly that inc
indian girl had such long lead. But
way back on the quarter the gray

Miss Corcoran's pony took the leau
