THE 228 CLASS.
Four heats were necessary to decide
the race in the 2.2S class, which was
won by Gurth, fast brown horse, sired
by Red Heart, and owned by w. Mel
son of Lewiston. Emperor Wilkes, Jr..
made Gurth step some in every heat
except the second, getting the first heat
and finishing close in the third and
fourth. The horses were slow in start
ing on the first heat and for some dis
tapce Jeff Interest and Black Velvet
were nip and tuck, but Emperor
Wilkes, Jr got through the bunch and
came in first under the wire. The first
time around in the second heat the
horses were well punched. The race
grew prettier as the horses proceeded
along the home stretch with hardly a
Derceptible break and the field well
punched, Gurth coming in under the
wire but length ahead of Black Vel
vet and Jeff Interest, who were SO close
together that it was hard to tell who
was second, but the judges gave that
position to Black Velvet. Gurth held
the pole throughout the third heat, but
Emperor Wilkes, Jr., made a strong
showing and it looked at one time as
if he would win the heat. The fourth
heat was another race between Gurth
and Emperor Wilkes, Jr., with the pole
horse once more keeping first place.

THE 22O CLASS.
The races in this class were fast and
in the second heat Alley Bell, the win
ner of the race, got mark which put
her in the 2.19 class, finishing in 21S1s.
The field was slow in getting away on
the first heat. Stanley c. went we'll I'M
til the second turn and broke on the
home stretch giving Frank c. an OPP
pOrtunity to get the pole, and the
chestnut gelding of Nelson's MAIN
tanned his lead to the wire. 1t was a.
close race for Alley Bell and Northland
Bon Ton, who were neck and neck as
they came under the wire. The second
heat was fast one. The field got away
with but little scoring and before they
passed the first quarter everybody in
the grandstand was standing on tiptoes
for it was evident that here was going
to be the fastest heat of the meet. The
field went around the stretch the first
time well together and on the back
stretch Frank C. and Alley Bell fought
hard for first place. 1t was nip and tuck
on the home stretch with Frank c. and
Alley Bell still fighting until the brown
gelding of the Hayden string came in
under the wire barely a nose ahead of
Frank c. in 2.1Sk. Alley Bell and
Franck C. were close together all the
way through the third heat, but there
was no spectacular finish as in the
previous heat. The feature of the con-
Guiding heat was the close finish be-
tween Alley Bell and Greenbrino, Jr.,
it looking on the back stretch as if
Greenhrino would win the heat, but
Alley Bell finally recovered the ground
lost in bad start and won the heat
and race. The summary:
