Wilmington Horse Show Association,
which ended yesterday at Wawaset
Driving Park was a success. The rae

was large. three thousand persons be-

weather conditions were perfect and
everything contributed TO enjoyable
sport. The fields were the largest that
ever raced on the local track and yes

a race, made by Bill West several years
ago, was lowered In both the first and
second heats OF the 2.l3 pace.
In this event Mysotis won the first
heat in PA 1-2. Judex captured the
second heat in 2.1S ga, Mysotis, who
broke badly, being distanced.
The racing yesterday began at 1 p.

ltrotted, was unfinished. The seventh
heat and the race was won by Estella,

2.29 trot. Volantee o; 2.25 pace, star
view; 213 pace. Judex. The specta-
tors included horsemen from all parts
of Delaware. Maryland. New Jersey
and Pennsylvania.
The best race OF the day was the 2.25
pace, six heats being necessary TO de-
eide it. The favorite in this event was
Barrow Wilton. owned and driven by
S. L. Davis, of West Chester. Pa.
! This good son of Wilton, won the 2.3O
pace in straight heats from a field OF
seventeen starters on Tuesday and
yesterday he would have scored an
other victory but for the poor judg
ment of his driver and owner, Mr.
Davis.
In the first heat Barrow Wilton got
away badly and. instead of saving his
horse for the remaining heats, Davis,
who is a young man, set sail at a fu-
rious pace for George H.. the leader.
The best he could get was second and
the effort cost him dearly. He how
ever. won the second and third heats,
but in the fourth was nipped at the
wire by Starview.
thereafter it was plainly seen that he
was "all out" He stuck gamely to his
work, but Starview won the next two
heats and the race. Had Davis laid
up in the first heat. the result might
have been different. The other drivers,
who had a clique tried hard to pocket
the West Chester man, but failed.
Barrow Wilton, who is a well pro-
1875 and came here a green horse. The
owner was yesterday offered $1,000 for
the PAGER but declined it. He is hold
ing out for $500.
The 213 pace was combined with the
l2.11 trot, but the trotters declined the
tissue.
E. V. d. Skillman, Of Trenton, n. j.
protested against his horse Allen Beck
being distanced in the first heat of the
229 trot and declared that the flag was
changed in the first two heats. He
declared that it was unfair but the
Judges did not change their decision.
President Dobbs stated today that
lanotheT meeting viii probably be held
lin Ssptember when both running and
trotttng races will be given.
