BayaTd Made Great Race

Cool weather is encroaching upon
the attendance at the Delaware Horse
Show Associations matinee races. but
as the season draws to close the
horses seem to become stimulated and
are doing some Of the best work that
they have done yet.
The eighteenth matinee was held on
Saturday and as the season closes on
November . there will be but three
more races take place There were two
features on the card. Donna Halls
work in the first heat of the second
event and the struggle for victory be-
tween jim Bayard and Florence STAN
ton in the final heats of event three
Donna Hal. driven by DR. ]. II. Ma
haffy paced the mile in 218 Ia. thereby
practically winning the championship
pacing cup offered by the association
for the horse making the fastest pac-
ing mile during the season. Previous
TO Saturday, Mr.. McKee's, Jack Gilman
had made the best time 2.2O l-2.
In the third heat of this race Ira
villa and Donna Hal travelled the back
stretch in the last half like a pole
team, but on the turn Donna Hal forg-
ed ahead and carried her lead to the
wire
1t took four heats OF fast trotting to
settle the fourth event, which resulted
IN Mr. Austin's Jim Bayard taking the
race from Mr. Stoeckle's Florence
stanton by the narrow margin of a
head in three and four heats. Jim
Bayard in the third heat of the race
showed the stun he is made of as he
carried the black mare to the three
quarters. came into the stretch a half
length behind and then, by a great
burst of speed won out by a head The
gelding showed no signs of WEAKNESS
and his wind was apparently as good
as when he left the wire at the word
go"
