entry list, and. except in the third race,
most Of them started. There were /
seven ,prscs on@,lie list in tia third |
but when IL came tota stnrt only three I
answered. tile call The association
aErceI to divide tho purse With the
three.
There WAS some little delay in get
ting off tie flisttheat. but 1t was not
the fault or tile Atarter. Manela would
lean to the left and try TO get tbs
fence. or sweetheart would take d
duck ahead of the bunch. l,pt tinallyi
tlicrcfwt.a II beauty OF a start, and tile I
t"go. Looked fneBto tile spectators. mi
the quarter. the bunch scattered, fanilI
\ the winners took theii. places, without
n break, after the half.
Lady May carried tho lead tlirouGf,l
with swcc tllcnrt following. The others
were scattered. and got lost III tile
dust. Bedwortll managed to creep out
from the cnynloping crowd, nnd came
under the wire with q good lead over
those who also paccd 1t was not tile
case OF winning III u walk, for 1t was
black mnr.. won. handily In the first
heat with Bunch's Sweetheart close to
lior main. Tic time was pretty good,
at 2:1G liz. II
i.udy May Easy.
The second heat was nm easy thing
for Lady May,sfwhlle Sweetheart gnt
left In the distance and Mnncla tool,
second place. Those who had been bet
ting on Halls marc threw their hats
in tile air; but iii tile next heat tho
littk Washington marc fell into third
money, while Anita took second away
from her, with 2:lb Ia az the time for1
tile second heat.
Tile third heat wound up the race
and split the money, and 1t looked q i
forcgone conclusion that Lady May
would get the big end of It, which she
did willie tho otller53half was split he
tween Anita and Maneiia.
Sally C. n Winner.
Seven horses started in the second
race---a trotting affair at a:25. with d;
$500 purse. Ten entries were made.
but at the start three were dropped.
Sally G. was favorite. She gave herI
admirers lots OF encouragement by herl
performance. Sho won all three heats
In fine form, and without a chance of
| losing.
In tho first heat zella Mack got too
won, and Nelly McZeus pushed the
second horse Justify. Tommy Cox
wasn't bad one. and handed Anthony
Grihltll's mare a good step. Hazel got
lost on the first time around, and Beroll
nearly lost his legs in the first and
second. AND finally got out Of it in the
third. 1t was a walkoyer for Sally c.,
and she got the first money because
| none OF the others could inhale her
| dust.
! The third was the most interesting
Iof the lot, because 1t had but three
contestants for the five hundred -Four
horses dropped out before the red flag
was waved. leaving Flinch Outcome
land Miss Peeler. On the start Miss
| Peeler looked good to the touts. she
dropped>a notch on the first time round,
and little money went against her.
But. the fellows who knew things about
horses without having a hobby saw
/ that Finch was the real thing and
fthey put all the money they had with
/ them on that black gelding, with happy
iresults. There was little time lost lin
making the starts, and in each heat
| the lineup was the same
