WATERMAN WINS PACE

The feauture of the racing programme at the Alabama State fair yesterday aft ernoon was the free for all trot, won in three of five heats by True Tucker, a chestnut gelding by J. Morse, owned by A. II. Small of Macon, Ga, and driven by Whitney.
 There were four entres-True Tucker, Pusus, the animal of Flies & Son, Bir- mingham Little Buddie, owned by W. II. Jones, Birmingham, and Egotist Belle. l Pulsus started off the certain winner, i and there is hardly doubt but that his bad behavior in the third, fourth and 1 fifth heats brought about his defeat. The winner was steady throughout, finishing second in the first and second heats, and winning the remaining three. In the third heat Pulsus broke toward the end of the race and was assigned to fourth place by the judges. In the fourth and fifth heats he also broke and behaved badly i generally Other than Pulsus True Tucker had little competition. At the beginning of the fifth heat, when True Tucker and Pulsus had taken two each. there was much excitement. Pulsus
 got the start and held the lead until the
 second quarter, when True Tucker pushed
 him. In the middle of the third quar-
 ter he broke his gait and was on the
 home stretch before Driver Carter could
 check him. Then he was badly beaten, l finishing fourth. Pulsus won second money Egotist Belle third and Little
 Buddie fourth.
 Leslie Waterman Wins Pace.
 There was nothing to the first race the
 free for all pace but Leslie Waterman. the beautiful chestnut geldng owned by R. L. Schwartz & Co. of Mobile and driven by Schwartz The fine animal took three straight heats easily, and there was no occasion to bring out his best efforts. Addie C. took second money, Opal Will son third and Pearl A. fourth. | There was a good deal Of interest cen 1 tered in the amateur drivers race, won | by Strong. There were five entries, l though but four finished. Ii so happened 1 that the horse which won the race, ! Strong. was the heaviest animal among the entrants. and there was no one about 1 the field who would have risked 1 cent ! on the animal winning In addition to 1 the animals weight, he did not present the appearance Of horse which could move under great speed. However Strong l was the horse which finished first, after several of its rivals had broken their gaits. After Strong finished Hull, ordeal and Fletcher. The time of this race was 2:3S.
 Stubbs Breaks Record. 1 In addition to the interesting harness races, the motorcycle event was thrilling and entertaining. It was d one-hour race aif,.f Ina Hof anIx 9 miles, held by S. T. Kellogg. The follow ing thirteen tried to break this record Robert Stubbs. A. W. Meagher. W. B. Ragland, G. C. Brake. John Fahay A, S. Chrisenbery. C. Jenkins. A. T Reeves. R. w. Gayle, B. IT, Garner and F. w. House.
 Robert Stubbs succeeded in breaking the record. for he rode 43 B miles with in the hour. Stubbs. who now holds the record, rode single cylinder Man son motorcycle.
 The racket made by 13 motorcycles going at full speed can best be mag- ined. The sight was a thrilling one and no spectator. moved during the hour. Stubbs record of 43ss miles within an hour is considered excellent At times he flew by the grand stand so fast that the eye could hardly fol- low him.
