SPECTATORS FEW;
RACES WERE GOOD
Cool Weather Cuts Down At
tendance at Matinee Events.
Donna Hal Qualities

Good racing was witnessed at the nine
teenth matinee races held at Horse Show
Association Park on Saturday afternoon
and although the forerunner Of winter
breezes prevented many from attending. it
had apparently no effect on the work Of
the horses
Eighteen horses started in the six events
upon the card and in five Of the six races
blue ribbons we're won In straight heats.
Il required an extra heat in event three
to decide second place between Little
Lady and Donna Hal. the latter taking
the red ribbon. thereby winning her
eleventh heat and thus qualifying to win
the championship pacing cup the mare
having previously beaten Jack Gnmans
record Of 2.2O4 by going the mile in 2.1slk.
Mabel @. owned by Mr.. Fahcy, stepped
her first mile on the track IN matinee
races and showed her consistency by
winning straight heats IN 2.25. There was
a split in this event also for second place
between Wesley Jr., and Queen Esther.
the latter winning by a length in the
race Off.
That gallant old "war horse William
H., owned and driven by W. H. Ewing
TO grocery wagon and sulky alike, cap
tured the NTH event with case in straight
heats leaving MoSe and Reno B. TO fight
It out for second position which resulted
In the race being taken by Reno b., the
drivers agreeing on half nile heat.
Event number six brought out three
starters, Mr.. Morgan's Nancy NJ, Mr.
Kellys Mollie Murphy, and Mr. Orth's
saladin. This event proved one Of the
most interesting on the card as the third
mile resulted in a dead heat between
Mollle Murphy and Nancy NJ Nancy M.
took the first heat with Mollie Murphy
a close second. In the second heat the
order Of these horses under the wire was
reversed. while In the third neat there
was no difference between them at the
finish. In the race off Nancy M. trailed
Mr. Kelly's roam mare to the stretch but
broke at the turn while forging ahead
BY taking the second event Mr. Hay
/ den's Expedition, Jr.. broke the tie be-
tween him and II. r. Wallace's Earl
Park. each horse having won seven heats
IN the contest for the gold medal for the
greatest number OF winning heats. Tire
