ARA E. Great Favorite.

A few days ago The Sentinel made
the exclusive announcement In this
city of the triumph of ARA e., the
fast little horse owned by Lee Hall,
the well known Grand Junction fruit
on the Phoenix, Ariz., track.
The Phoenix papers have been
filled with praises for ARA E..
The following is from the Arizonia
Republican. of the 10th:
Among the new horses seen at
the Phoenix track during the fair
just closed and which afforded no
small part of the entertainment for
the big crowd, were ARA E, and
Looking Out, from the stable of Lee
Hall, of Grand Junction, Colo. Mr..
Hall was here with the horses and
accompanied by E. E. Bell, his driv-
er, who is a very competent horse
man. Looking Out made great
and though he only took fourth
money, it was big honor to be in
such a race at all. as all four horses
travelled in bunch. The entire
field was but little behind the wiz
ner in time and all acted nicely in
their track manners. In the first
heat, Looking Out started with the
hole. which was maintained urNtil
the little joker, Queen Pomona,
perfect little wonder. slipped in
ahead. These positions were kept
until the last post was passed when
the field one by one passed Looking
Out but only by a brief space. In
the second heat, Looking Out started
in fourth position and the entire
field went around to the stretch in
order, where Mandolin forced him
self ahead of Ginger, finishing sec.
ond. In the last heat the quarter
was passed In 81 1-2, but mandolin
broke all the back stretch. The en-
tire field was punched at the three
quarter post in 1:36A and the fin
ish was a close race with a scrap
to the wire. The finish of the three
heats was as follows and it will be
observed that Looking Out was get
ting better every minute, in this
heat taking third place.
Queen Pomona. ..... III
Ginger .2-3-2
Mandolin ...........,... .3-2-4
Looking Out .4-4-3
Time of the heats 2:09 ia; 2:07
3-4; 2:10 ga.
That is mighty good record for
a 2:12 class and an honor to all
participants, being one of the best
races of the week.
ARA e, the little bay mare belong
ing to Mr.. Hall made two fine shows.
one on Tuesday and the other on
Thursday. The Tuesday race was the
2:16 pace and the little mare took
all three heats against Monkey Mack,
Katherine, a promising young mare,
and Pointer Star of Phoenix, which
made a fine record on the Grand Cir
cult of the present year. In the
first heat ARA e drew fourth posit-
ion and logged along nicely to the
stretch. when she passed the entire
field and slipped under the wire in
2:16 Ia. in the second and third
heats ARA e. led all the way round,
while the other horses were chang
ing positions. the finish being 2:16
flat, and 2:14 IA. the Colorado
mare making little better time In
each succeeding heat. The other race
was special, and ARA E. drew
the pole, Monkey Mack second, DAN
lei ]. third. The story is soon told,
for the record is unique and has sell
dom been equaled. The three horses
were entered in the race card in the
order given, drew positions in the
same order, finished each heat in the
same order and ARA E made the time
of each heat in just 2:14 1-2. There
was but one change in this clock
work regularity and that was when
Monkey Mack in the last heat took
the pole for few seconds on the
back stretch.
Messrs. Hall and Bell and the
horses leave this morning for Dem
yer. Their stay has been pleasant
one here, they have made many
| friends in Phoenix, and they have
nothing but good words for the
Phoenix track and the fair manage
ment. They will certainly be looked
for with pleasure at the next fair

they expect to.@The Arizona Re
