terday afternoon at the speedway on
Reservoir avenue when four events were

Wilkes, while Munroe's horse was the
winner OF the place by nose.

this heat with the horses on even terms.
All down the line they fought royal
battle. with never a half length separat-
ing any of the trio. Darden went to the
whip just before the finish line and man
aged TO get enough reserve out OF Tri-
fer to land the heat.
Munroe took the initial heat, although
Russell C.. gave him the stiffest kind of
opposition. Darden had trouble with Tri-
ner about half way down and never had
a chance for first. In the second heat
Darden had Triher going in great fashion
and copped te decision after hard hit
with Walter Wilkes, who got the place.
