CUCKOO DEFEATS WELCOME

I was master of the situa ton, passing
| both leaders and winning easily.
Platte was withdrawn before the Sec
ond heat, owing to Illness, and Mac
proceeded to try conclusions with
| Cuckoo alone. The start was probably
the prettiest of the day, and at the
quarter they were flying neck and
neck. Mac took a slight lead after the
FIRST pole, but it wac an even race be-
fore the half had been reached. Into
| the stretch and to the wire the speedy
PAGERS swung with beautiful precision
and when Cuckoo again flashed win
ner it was by scant length.
The third heat was an easy thing for
| Cuckoo after the fourth, and Sweeney
iwen going away.
Rosie O'Moore resisted stubbornly in
the 2:19 pace, but finally gave way to
LohenGrin after five gruelling heats
had been paced. Rosie appeared a
winner after capturing the first two
rounds and disputed the next two in
second and third place.
The second heat of the three-minute
mixed, which field got away to a miser-
able start. was captured by the clever
driving of Durfee, who laid back in
fourth place during the early going and
then made a strong bid for the wire,
finishing in third place behind Miss
Richnut. who had won the first heat in
clever fashion.
The following heats went to The
Blonde. which won easily enough
In view of the fact that more than
ordinary interest has been manifested
in the women's running race scheduled
for tomorrow afternoon. it practically
has been decided to repeat the per-
formanCe on Saturday. Women judges
and starters will probably offiCiate dur
ing the unique contest.
According to arrangements made
last night the 2:15 trot will occur this
afternoon instead of the free-for-all
pace scheduled for Saturday.
