together a fast field of five entries,
Bryan and Florence O., having been
scattered. The horses were gotten
away by Starter Charles Weber we'll
together, after little jockeying un-
der the wire, and the crowd rose to
see the first heat of the day. Adrian
B., "a handsome brown gelding seemed
from the start to have the race we'll
in hand, running smoothly and with
out a break, but the fight for second
place between the Dean and Ella
Shepard stirred the blood of all, the
chestnut gelding pulling to the front
in the last half furlong, Ella Shepard
