Denver Horse Takes Classic Detroit
stake After Hard struERle.
DETROIT. Mich. July SO-With three
Of the six starters winning heats, the 1905
renewal OF the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' trotting stake proved one Of the
hardest fought since the institution Of the
event. The Spanish Queen. owned by
George II, Estabrook, Denver, won first in
the five-heat plan of racing, although the
old-fashioned system would probably have
given the honor to Alceste, driven by
Geers.
Fully 1900 persons turned out and saw
the exceptional work on a fast track
Fleming Boy, in the stable of Dean. whose
entry won the Chamber Of Commerce
stake, was a strong favorite. selling nearly
even with the field. Fleming Boy led all
the way in the first heat. finishing an easy
winner, while Spanish Queen barely saved
her distance after q break. Next time
Spanish queen acted finely and, corlarinr
Fleming Boy at the ~three-quarters, she
came so fast that he broke and gave the
heat to the Denver mare. A third heat was
a repetition. Fleming Boy was leading
past the "three-quarter pole and left his
feet In the stretch, Spanish Queen jogging
home.
Fleming Boy showed them the way in the
fourth mile, breaking again in the stretch,
and this time, when Spanish Queen came
by she was attended by Alceste, that mare
beating her by half a length. Spanish
Queen took the lead at the half in the
firth heat, as Fleming Boy was tired, and
again in the stretch Alceste rushed up and
beat her in the last few yards.
Under the five-heat rule, Spanish Queen,

money and Alceste second. There we're
cheers for the heat winners. also for Span
ish Queen and Driver Mackey, who was
presented with a floral flag.
The 2:10 trot was a great one. and Ham
burg Belle, formerly Sally Simmons II,
romped off with the first heat in 2:O5H,
equalling the best mile by = mare this
year. Next time she broke and Sterling
Mckinney won. They had scored so much
that they were tired and the time was very
slow. Hamburg Belle came back strong
In the third heat, and driving Sterling
Mckinney to an early break, she won with
out effort.
Redbow further reduced her Terre Haute
record, handily beating a good field Of fast
PAGERS in 2:04h. Arthur j., a recruit from
the half-mile tracks, won the opening event
handily, showing a lot of speed. Summary:
