Terrible Turk Makes Trouble On the Drive
Many sharp Contests.

4 runaway thrilled 1000 spectators on the
Speedway Yesterday and tested the skin
of Mounted Policeman Sowerby. John Mitch
ell, accompanied by his daughter, a tot OF
5 years, was driving the bay trottcr Ter
rible Turk and had turnde at the upper end
looking for something In the class with his
f~avorile. In a general get away as best you
can some one drove too close to MIR. Mitchell
and hit the hub Of his wagon. The impact
would have thrown the child to the ground
had not the father come to the rescue at the
expense of freeing the horse from restraint.
1t was a critical moment. The course was
fullof swiftly moving horses, andTerribleTurk
was on a keen run entirely beyond the con-
trolofhis driver. Mounted Policeman Sowerby
was quick to act and he had his hand on the
bride and the horse well under control before
the quarter mile post was passed. MI.
Mitchell was 30 confident he could oontrolhe
situation that the policeman released the
horse and started back for his post. The Turk,
however. was by no means In a mood to re-
main quiet and he at once made another
start. Sowerby was after him at once, and
the two had a lively chase until well below
Washington Bridge. where the horse was
brought to a stop for the second time. This
proved effective.
The racing was keen. and as a rule the
contestants we're closely matched. George
| NJ. Archer was very successful with the PAGER
Lady Direct, 2;l5A. and won faT more often
than he lost. In one OF the pest prns9 Cone 81
