 Attendance Yesterday
Dan Patch Made Notable Mle But Failed to Get What He Was After Minor Heir Paced Mile In 201A- Fast Events Todays Card Indian Races, Balloon, Soldiers Drill-Novelty Races

He seemed to be no worse for wear last night and Mir. Hersey will be disappointed indeed if his next ap-
 pearance does not show better results. Anyhow. yesterdays time was the best Dan Patch has made this year, any and the fact speaks well for his condi-
 tion as well as that of the track. Minor Heir.
 Immediately after the above race it
 was announced that Minor Heir would
 start on Friday to beat his own and all other records he could. To condi-
 tion himself he would later in the day
 go a preparatory mile paced by Dan Patch's running mate. In due season
 this transpired and afforded the best speed event seen here this year. The first quarter was made in 30 and the
 half in a minute flat, then the speed was slackened slightly with 1881 at the third pole. On the stretch the motor was turned up about one notch and Minor Heir came toward the wire. cut ting a straight slit in the atmosphere. finishing in 2:01A.
 Question-If the wind held Dan Patch back eight seconds what would have been the record of Minor Heir. had the wind not held him back eight seconds?
