 BY HAZEL PATCH
Story of the Big Race of the KeOk at the PhOen.
 iy Fair

The folioYing account of the Bis6ee Stake race at Phoenix on Wednesday is from the Republic:
 Theres were big things doing at the fair yesierday, The attendance was somewhst larger than the day before. The grand stand receipts were about standoff with those of the opening day but the general admissions were larger. The estimates of attend aree run all the way from five thou sand Gpl q.
 The overshadowing feature. of the day was the racing and the chief attraction was the Bisbee stake. free for al, fer a purse of $1,0oo. Incl ccZtest was between Hazel Patch. the Christian Science horse. and zo- lock. his great track rival and theI money went down in that order. These two horses were pitted against each other in California twice within the last few weeks Hazel Patch winning both times, Zgfoci though was not in the best condition and his owners and trainers have never been willing to admit that the famous black was his better. Probably they do not admit iU vet for he is a great horse and has much to his credit. He won the first heat in yesterdays race and made the best time of the day or for ,kat matter the best time ever made on an Arizona track. These horses and probabiy lfte others will race a@ain on Saturday. when it is believed there will be equally as good an ex- hihition and faster time. The track though fast is just a trifle heavy.
 Custer who got third money. made fine exhibition. He is race horse nLw lhoush onlv a colt, and the day is nol far distant when Hazel Patch and Zolocii will have to consider him very seriously -when he is in their company He was third in three heats and he made a desperate dash for SeCcll place or one occasion. De Galion tGog-h holding third place in only one heat was nevertheless in the race ali the time and the four made a quartet of as speedy animals as ever punched in the southwest.
 In the drawing Custer won the pole, Zolock second. Hazel Patch third and Dedaion fourth. Florence Wilton was entered but was withdraw. They were off with a fine start and on reaching the quarter pole Hazel Patch was credited with thirty seconds or a gait at the rate of two minutes flat. a faster quarter than most people now living ever saw in their lives.

 [ The second heat was a fine start Io.ock and Hazel Patch neck and neck at tfe quarter pole, Zolock lead ing a bit al the half. even at three qrarters and finishing with Hazel Patch a neck in the lead of Zolock pedalion a few yards further back. IL was the closest and most exciting heat of tue race and if there was any difference in standing Zolock's stock was the better. The grand stand went wild and cheered all horses.

 In the third heat Zolock started a few feet behind Hazel Dedalion and Custer in order.
