a poSeu Tie idst eignth OF mile at
Wilmer Owned by Woman.
The first race, the 2:35 pace, was won
IN straight heats by Prince T. Wonder,
lively stepping bay gelding owned !
by Mrs. Clara Brinkley of Oklahoma
city. The only heat furnishing a race
was the first one. At the head of the
stretch Prince T. Wonder was in third
position, but Driver Piper drew to the
outside and succeeded in getting suffi-
Gent burst of speed out of his horse to
cross the line winner by a length.
In the other harness race the 2:15 trot
David Medium had everything his own
way. He passed the wire ahead of
Babrook in the first heat but was set
pack for having broken repeatedly dur
ing the heat and it was given to Bah
rock. David Medium won the next
three heats and race as he pleased.
/ Four horses started in the first of
the running races, four and a half fur
long dash. Queen Victoria, winner of
the day before, ridden by Dunbar, had
things her own way and won by a cou-
pie of lengths. There was a pretty race
for place between George E. and Nip
per, the former winning second money.
Then came the mile race with five en-
tries. Montezuma, with a diminutive
chap named Dominick in the saddle
darted away at the start and was never
headed OF pushed DR.. Dash, who ran
all around Montezuma in the Derby on
Tuesday was lengths behind under the
pilotage of Jockey Wilson. Montezuma
was the only horse bet on in the Gordon
books for this race. He opened at two
to one but the bets came so fast that
the odds were soon reversed. Book
maker Gordon was cleaned out of four
hundred dollars on this race and he
would have lost more had he not stop
ped taking bets.
In the last race, which was won in
a walk by Maddie O'Neal, five horses
started. Knight Place was ridden by
Wilson. and the horse acted as if it
wanted to go very fast all the way but
was not permitted to do so. The
other horses were well strung out and
they could not have been less danger
Gus factors in the race had they
walked all the way. Maddie O'Neal
opened at even money in the books
but SO much money was poured in on
her that the odds were shortened ard
finally the bookmakers refused to take
any more money. Mr.. Gordon lost
about six hundred dollars on this race.
Montezuma is owned by F. F. Borland.
of Fairbury, Neb., and Maddie O'Neal
is owned by ]. ]. Dimmitt, of Shell
