The attendance was the best OF the
meet, as a large crowd came from the
/ city and way points to see the final
days sport
Little Dick had a large following.
/ Mariseh and his friends were conf
dent that the game little PAGER would
carry off the hOnors However, Little
| Dick was unlucky, for in the first heat.
after getting off nicely and carrying his
! field at fast clip to the three-efghths
pole, he broke his controller, which in
/ terfered with the bit Verhilac was
unable to hold his charge under com
mand. However, he raced TO the finish
and was just beaten out by DemOnio
wilkes
/ 1t is hardly possible that Dick would
| have beaten the winner under any cir
eumstances. as he paced both the miles
in 2:11h without being forced to a
! drive. The first heat was easy for
the winner and he took the next on
handily. With new bit Little Dick
refused to extend himself in the second
heat and he was beaten OF.
f. Chadbourne. driving McFayden
in the 2:12 pace. put up an excellent
/ exhibition of skill with the reins and
| drove the Diablo horse home a winner.
However, McFayden went lame after
/ the first heat and while he started
bagain in the second heat he had to be
\ withdrawn in the third trial. After
/ his withdrawal Cora had nothing to
-beat and she captured the remaining
/ heats in ragtime.
/ Charley de Ryder. the crack reins-
/ man. though thoroughly unfit to drive
owing to illness. relinquished the reins
/ to Mayhem after driving Rapidan Dill
Ion in the 2:30 pace. The first heat
went to Scotch John but with a race
under her belt. Rapfdan seemed to i'm
prove and she took the succeeding
i three heats from A Coins Scotch
John. Weatewater was always out
footed.
George W. Fords Golden Nut won
/ the PIP trot after a series OF close
heats. Charley T. well handled by De
Ryder, took the second heat. In the
