TROTS AT NORFOLK.
Margaret Won Principal Event In
Three Straight Heats.

To a mighty chorus of cheers from the
threats of 1900 racing enthusiasts. Mar
garet, a bay mare owned by E. c. Hath
away, general manager of the Norfolk
Railway and Light Company. scored
triumph at Norfolk yesterday afternoon by
winning the 2.24 pace in three straight
heats from a field of twelve at the fair
grounds
From the word go" to the finish there
never was a moment when Margaret was
in danger. F. Covington piloted the mare
to the front inch by inch, nursing every
ounce of her strength till the crucial mo-
ment came. Hentschel & Sweeney's Balti-
more horse. Bedworth H., was frequently
at the mares throatlatch. but just as often
she drew away. The winner was heavily
backed and was hot favorite from the
first.
Hentschel & Sweeney and A. II. Tyson Of
Baltimore. respectively, did not start.
Rara Avis owned by ]. F. Coleman Of
Norfolk, Won the 21S trot also in three
straight heats. Sir Electroid. owned by j..
G. Benton of this city, gave the gray geld
ing the most trouble. As the Richmond
horse, Petronell, passed the half-mile post
in the last heat the tire of his bike burst,
and bad spill was narrowly averted.
Notwithstanding each race was won in
three successive heats they were fully as
exciting as many contests longer drawn
out. Today winds up the weeks bill with
go trot, free-for-all trot and steeple-
chase.
