Brandon, May 2S.-With a heavy
cold northeast wind blowing all day,
the second day of the Brandon Turf
club meet was not to be compared
with the first day; consequently a
small crowd was in attendance to wit
ness a racing program that was GER
tainly of the very highest order. The
first days races. were considered by
many to be such as have never been
witnessed in Brandon before. The
second days, however, totally eclipsed
them In every respect. The drawing
card on the program was the one mile
dash for purse of a thousand dol
lars This race was in every sense
contest of the keenest order. The
entries were composed of the fastest
horses in Canada and the States. Dix
lie Lad. a Minot, N. D.. horse, landed
the race at so to 1 chance.
The 2:40 trot, offering a purse of
5000, was the first race called at 2
o'clock. In the first heat of this race
Beckford, driven by j. Fry, seemed a
horse destined to make his way to
the front. Ranger, however, showed
his supeiority in the home stretch,
with Lord Mimic half length behind.
In the second heat Lord Mimic, which
had seemed hard horse to hold
down, but having great speed, came in
first. In the third and fourth heats
Ranger again showed remarkable
speed and obediance to his driver,
thus winning the race, with Lord
Mimic claiming second money, Pro-
ficio third and Beckford fourth. The
summary:

The second race was an easy one
in some respects for The Zoo, which
took it in three straight heats. He
was, however, made to work for his
victory by Lou Mac. who chased him
close in the first two heats. In the
third and deciding heat Hal Kelly
sprang out as a surprise to many, and
the home stretch brought forth one
of the closest tests in speed of the
day. In the opening heats of this
race Lou Mac seemed to have the
speed, but was working too hard, and
could not maintain the gait The fol-
lowing is the. summary:

The one mile dash for a purse of
81 1000 proved hard one to many and
was protested by some of the other
jockeys, on the grounds that the jockey
of the winner, Dixie Lad, was riding
at weight other than what he was
supposed to start at. The protest,
however, fell through, the jockeys be-
ing weighed after the race. Dixie Lad
came home at so to 1, with the favor
lite. Harding, at 5 to 4, close second.
Sicamous, second favorite, claimed
third place, with the betting at 8 to 5
against Friendless, last years speedy
racer. seemed to be clean out Of the
race, being, perhaps. not ready. Sum-
mary:
Dixie Lad, c. H. Parker, Minot, N.
D., first; Harding, bay h., J. Kline,
D0wner's Grove, Ill.,, second; Steam
GUS, br M. ]. Mckenzie. Winnipeg,
third.

In the fourth race, running race
of five furlongs, with a purse of $500,
Roma, an outsider. again pulled in at
the turn of the home stretch and beat
Rosie Dillon by a neck. Melrina, half
length behind, was third. The fol-
lowing is the summary:
First. Roma, br. M. T. F.. Morris &
Sons, Rosewood, Man.; second, Rosie
Dillon, F. w. Wilson, Minct. N. D.;
third, Melrina, C. H. Parker, Minot,
N. D.
Time, 1906.
In the first race of the day. a six
furlong running race, for $500 purse,
very close and exciting test of speed
took place. Rosary, Winnipeg horse,
led all the way and pulled under the
wire with ease. In this race some
difficulty was experienced in getting
the horses lined up for the start, and
resulted in T. Morris, the jockey of
Kings Guinea. and Pat Kelly, Becky
Bright's horse, being put off the track
for term of one month from date
for disobedience at the post. The fol-
lowing Is the summary:
First, Rosary, bay M, Geo. Nc
