In the presence of a banner crowd,
to the martial strains of music and 10
the wildly enthusiastic cheering OF
$500 lusty throats, Mary Glenn came
under the wire the well deserving
winner of the 1905 placita Derby OF
the Los Vegas Racing Association.
Los Angelina, handicapped by rath-
er poor start and a bad break down at
the threequarter post, made most
gallant run, coming. in second only
half length behind the winner
The Placita Derby from its initial
success should become a classic OF
which Las Vegas and New Mexico in
general should be Justly proud, and
it's permanency should be established
beyond all possible doubt.
2:1e Pace.
The 2.19 pace for purse or $4U0
was AN event of more than ordinary
local interest because of the entry Of
Chas. Goes Monkey Mack. Joe Young
er, owned by G. S. Newman, Denver,
was the winner in three straight heats
in 2:1SI. Little Cap, oned by G. S.
Jockey, Rocky Ford, Colo, made
very good run; in the second heat

by Il. G.. Davis Of Colorado Springs,

stable. was second, with Mayor Branch
scurrying along three lengths in the
rear In this event Mayor Branch was
somewhat outclassed, being quite a
mediocre to fair horse.
Elbertus and Earl Brentwood were
scratched in this event.
Halt Mile Running Race.
The half-mile running race for two
wear olds was a race that sent the
blood tingling in the veins of equine
admirers. Lady E., Peggy Colo, and
New England Girl started nicely and
held well together for the entire dis
tance, Lady e. nosing ahead under the
whip in :53, with New England Girl
: and Peggy Colo trailing closely In
that order. Annie Faro might have
been q factor in the race but for the
seeming incompetence Of her mount
who showed very poor horsemanshiI
to say the least.

TO cooperate In the selection Of a
young prince Of the house OF Berna.

The dissolution Of the union be
