TRACK RECORD LOWERED
TWO SECONDS, AT RACES
Little JIM Again Clips the Record, Which He Formerly
Held.-"Prince Hail. Was Victim Of Accidents.-
Bessie Barolite' Went Fast

The first day of the two-days
race meet, Saturday, was productive
of some very good sport, the race
being run in very good time, every
thing considered.
In the three-minute trot or pace
all the horses entered were greer
steppers, and the four entries mad,
a very pretty race.
Brownie Mack" a PAGER owned
by T. ]. Nary of Park Rapids ane
driven by Thomas Newly of thi
city, was first in three straight heats
The little PAGER acted very badly
and it took the assistance of two
attendants on the track before Mr.
Newly could get her going, but once
she got under way, she got the leac
and was never headed, although
both Fay Medium and Fargo Boy
were at the wheels of the bike al
the time. Fargo Boy acted badly:
but in the second heat, he showed a
great burst of speed near the finish
and came near winning in the
stretch, Newly nosing out by inches
with Brownie"

The track was not in good con.
dition, the recent rains having soft.
ened the surface so much that the
horses cut large holes in the top.
The races yesterday were the best
ever seen on the local track, and in
one of the races the time made was
the fastest made by any horse that
has appeared in Bemidii.
The local track record was broken
and every heat in each of the two
races was a contest from wire tc
wire.
In the free-for-all, there were en-
tered three horses with records
better than PIP, and one with q
record of 2:22, which was fas
enough to win second place in al
three heats. The entries were
Prince Hal, record 2:O6A; Little
Jim, record 2:11 81; Pat Ford, 2:1O
and Bessie Barolite, 2:22
Judging from the manner ir
which the race was run, it wa
anything to beat Prince Hal, amonf
the drivers from outside, and i
possible to keep Bessie Barolite t.
the rear.
The first heat of the race showet
that Little Jim was in elegant con
dition, and under Cherry's guiding
hand was going like the wind
Prince Hal got a bad start, ant
was forced to trail in the rear unit
the last turn on the mile, when, a
Driver Begsley tried to pass OF
the outside, the right pneumati
tire broke, and Prince came il
last.
Little Jim was never headed
although Newly, with Bessie Baro
lite, made Cherry go some" witt
"Jim." Pat Ford was third, an,
there was race all the way aroun'
between the trotter and Bessie TO
second place, the mare showing
