That Ever Started on
Local Track
TWO WON IN STRAIGHT HEATS

The hrSt days races of the annual /
three days meet of the Wilmington !
Horse Show Association at the Wawa- /
lset Driving Park yesterday were a
success. The weather was delightful, |
the fields were large and the attend
ance was good, being about 1900. |
There were so many starters in fact
that Joseph Davidson. of this city, tie
starting judge, had difficulty in send
ing the horses away.
AS AN evidence of the number Of en-
tries, there were thirteen starters in
the 2.35 trot. eleven in the 2.17 pace
and seventeen i'm the 2.SO pace. The

tee o. and Barrow Wilton won IN
straight heats.
Thomas Mcfarland, of Burlington.
n. j.. owner and driver of the bay
mare Wonder, which finished second
in, the 2.3O pace was called into the
judges stand after the second heat Of
this event and reprimanded for not
trying to win. He said he had been
run into and promised to do his best.
although he had finished second in the
! first two heats Mcfarland was fourth
in the third and final heat. The eau
| tion of the judges therefore availed
nothing.
Wonder is said to have been by far
the fastest horse in the race. and as
lone horseman expressed it, could pace
rings around that field if he let down"
In this race the dun mare Maud l..
owned by +. p. Golding. of this city
made a good showing and secured third
money. She surprised local horse
men by holding out and finishing in
la better position in each of the three
heats.
There were two accidents during the
Iafternoon. While A. II. Tyson. Of this
lcity was warming up the bay gelding
Special Director for the 2.30 pace, the

was so badly shaken up that it had
Ito be withdrawn. Mr. Tyson lost "A
gold watch during the mishap and il
lhas not been recovered.
While scoring for the first heat of
the 2.17 pace. the sulky of the black
mare Glenmeda. entered and driven by
e. A. Parker, of Atlantic City, was
run into and a wheel torn off. The
race was delayed until another sulky
