Those who visited the Speedway yester-
day hoping to see full programme OF sport
were not disappointed The volume of racing
was excellent, but the qpaHty was not always
of the top notch order. Several OF the stars
OF former meets we're absent and the regular
patrons have come to look for renewal OF
there weekly contests for supremacy.
The best brush Of the morning in point OF
clear cut racing brought the veteran trotter
Rifle. 2llh, to the front, driven by Theodore
Maxfeld. Ten years ago the late ". b.
Fasg owned Rife. and he was considered a
coming champion. One year later he took
his present record. Since then he has had
constant succession OF campaigns. both
amateur and professional, and it is doubtful
il he ever " as faster than he is to-day.
The bay trotter Antonio. Jr.. driven by
Isaac Fleming. made the first start against
Rifle. At the start Rife made wild break
and for time it looked as if there would be
work for the mounted police. Both horses
went away steady at the second score and
trotted head and head to the quarter mile
pole. Here Antonio, Jr.. made a break and
Rifle won easily. The second heat was trotted
as evenly as if the two horses had been har-
messed together. The whips cracked and the
crowd cheered at the finish. Rife won by
nose.
The winning matinee trotter Ida Gray,
2Is%, driven by W. S, Garrison. was one Of
the most frequent winners OF the morning.
