HARD FOUGHT HEATS
SPEED PROGRAM YESTERDAY AT
oTTUMWA's DISTRICT FAIR
UNUSUAL ONE.
Green Trot or Pace and the 2:25 Trot
Were Run in Five Heats-Races
Were Closely contested-Revenee
Dare Bested GaIlopers.

Lovers of harness events were given
their fill of thrilling races yesterday
afternoon in the second days speed
program of the Ottumwa district fair,
So evenly contested and fiercely
fought were the two principal races,
that both necessitated the running OF
five successive heats to decide the
moneys. The green trot or pace, in
which five horses started, furnished as
interesting race as has ever been run
on the local track, and not till the
completion of the fifth heat, was the
event decided The first three heats
were won by different horses. Wano
N, third to Col. Wood, and fourth to
in the decisive trial, Arthur Meeker,
driving Leora D, squeezed under the
wire in first position, preventing Wa
no N from scoring three firsts and
making hard run for first money.
The big bay mare, however, scored
two firsts, one second, third and a
fourth, and niped the big end Of the
purse. Second honors went to Leora
D, third to Co. Wood and fourth to
Rem Mack. Equally as interesting was
the 2:25 trot, which Admiral Schley
won, with Milo Boy second, Ida B
third and Nick Carter fourth. The
running race went to Revenge Dare
with Biddy Trimble up. This same an
imal won first money among the gal
lopers the day before.
The only disappointing feature of
the second days racing was the grand
stand receipts. The quality of the
races yesterday merited an audience

massive ampitheatre. There was only
a meagre attendance present.
Schwabkey's Union band and Palaro
brothers in their acrobatic turn
amused the spectators, during the in
Permission between the races.
Horses Set Back.
In the fourth heat of the green trot
or pace, l.. A. Meeker with Col Wood
finished in first position, but the
judges declared he failed to keep his
| set position in coming down the
stretch. Noble with Wano N declared
a foul and the heat was awarded to
the latter animal, while Meeker's
horse was set back to fourth position.
In the 2:25 trot, S. A. Barnes and Ida
B committed the same offense, and
the judges gave the fifth heat Of this
race to Admiral Schley. The officials
yesterday were W. H. Lowenberg,
starter; T. Sumner, Ottumwa, G.. w.
Good. Bloomfield, w. B. Griffin, Abba,
judges; G. Dutton and w. Lowenberg,
