Bo- ralma's brother is the Greene horse, and when KlotZbach brought him un- der the wire in the lead for the first l two heats in 2:1S 14 and 2:16 IA re- spectiVely, it looked like Greene
 money. But Zombowyetta, wno had
 been second in Doth instances, rose to her opportunity and took the third
 heat in ZIG IA. Same result in the
 fourth heat, time 2:17 IA, with Bo- ralmas Brother second in both in stances It was then a contest for

 bowyetta taking the fiftl heat in 2:I9
 But there was just little surprise
 when Leunmetta, who had been third in four heats, crawled up to second place
 in the last try and sent Klotzbach to the rear. But it was a real race all the way through.
 The third race was the 2:13 nace
 purse $400 There were four starters
 in the following order: Seldom Wilkes,
 Florence Wilton, Baron Lace, Victor
 Platte. Seldon Wilkes, owned by Spence and driven by Griffith, was the real thing from the beginning but there was no time for lettering. Seldon got the three heats in 2:12H, 2:155 and 2:15R The first heat was the fastest ever made in a race in Arizona. Vic tor Platte took second money, holding second place in all three heats Flor ence Wilton's positions at the respect i've finishes were 8, A. 4. Baron lace was 4, 3, 3. Klotzbach showed his nerve in the second heat of this race. Less than hundred yards after the start one of his tires come off. but he never wavered, except to drop to the rear and 1 keep travelling. He went around the oval on the rim and came in no great distance behind the bunch.
 The first running race was a three eighths mile dash which ended in the following order: Goddess of Night, Me 1 Kinley, Skeeter, Baby Rock. The time was .39 and the purse $1O0.
 The last race was five-eighths mile 1 dash for $100. Five entries and the fin 1 ish was as follows: Sweetheart, But termilk, Miss May Day, Lanky Bob and Cremo. It was Sweatheart's all the | way round, but there was never a time she might not have lost her standing by misstep for she was close pressed | and there was no daylight be- tween the first three horses at the fin ish. Time 1:O4
