ONLY SMALL CROWD.
Witness the Program of Good Races
Yesterday Afternoon at the
Fair Grounds.-Some In
tercsting Events.

The attendance at the matinee race
at the fair grounds yesterday after
noon, given under the auspices of
the executive board of the fair as
association was very disappointing to
those who have worked hard to make
the matinee a success. There were
about two hundred people on the
grounds. The weather was ideal for
races, being cloudy and cool, the
track was in very good condition, per-
haps little heavy, the program was
well arranged and there were a good
ly number of well known horses out.
consequently the inducements were
such that the grand stand should.
have been packed, taking also into
consideration the fact that the admis-
sion price was very reasonable indeed
and no extra charge was made for
grand stand seats.
About fifteen horses took part in
the program yesterday, practically
all OF whom have run on the local
/ track before, and the majority of
them being owned by local people.
The first event was a trot or pace
\ in the 2:20 class. The entries were
Little Girl. chestnut sorrel, owned by
| William Silsby; Jimmie Hards, black
stallion, owned by Hards and Sils-
by, and RoX, owned by d. o. Ramsey.
There were to be three heats. Lit
tie Girl won easily the first two heats
In the first heat Rox was second and
Jimmie Hards was third. The time
was 2:21 IL. In the second heat
the horses put up a fine showing and
created a great amount of enthus-
iasm. Little Girl came under the
wire first followed by jimmie Hards
and RoX came third. The time was
2:26 AS will be seen the first
heat was the fast one.
The second event was the trot or
pace in the 2;5O class. Echo, sorreI
mare, owned by James Hards; Uin-
tab Chief, black stallion, owned by
M. A. Graham. and Nuggets, sorreI
gelding owned by j. w. Robinson
were the entries. In one heat Mug
gets, came under the wire first with
Echo second and Uintah Chief third.
The result of this heat was a sur
prise for but few thought that the
sorrel gelding stood any show. In
this heat Uintah Chief cut his
quarter.
In the other heat Nuggets was cas-
lily outclassed by Echo who won with
out great effort. Nuggets came in |
second. Uintah was saved for the |
third heat. However. no third heat |
was run as it is said Mr.. Robinson
did not care to enter his gelding for
this heat. The time of the first heat |
is given unofficially as 250, the sec
ond heat was run in 249 1-2.
The third event was half-mile |
running. Blue Sash. sorrel mare,
owned by l.. Hatch; "Uncle Bob
sorrel horse owned by w. G. Choate
Bay Beck, bay horse. owned by w.
G.. Struthers. Blue Sash was the win
ner with Uncle Bob" second. Time

race. Bay Beck did not get started

The last event of the afternoon was
boys pony race, there were two en-
tries and Little Pittsburg'' owned
and ridden by George Gallupe was
the winner.
Each of the four events was very
interesting and on the whole the pro
gram was satisfactory to those out to
see the sport.
There was little betting but no
heavy punches changed hands.
G. c. Price was superintendent of
speed.
The judges were w. F. White. ].
X. Wentworth and w. G. Choate.
The gate receipts amounted to
$100
