Governor sarles got third place in
the 2:OS pace at Terre Haute, inisn-
ing second in the third heat The time
was 2:05 Ia; 2:05 Ia; 2:07.
The fact that Dan Patch and Minor
Heir could not do better than 2:1lI-4
on the Grand Forks track--which is
admittedly a good one--again accen-
tuates the fact tnat those who are
used to the billiard table tracks, find
they are up against a new proposition
when they get onto the half mile

showing this season. Last year he was
in the c. L. DeRyder string, but the
popular reinsman was not able to get
him to the front very successfully. He
is all to the good this year, however.
The 2:12 pace, which was on the
Fargo Interstate fair race programme,
did not fill, so that it is more than

thereof. s+a s.e...-.
If Daniel Webster starts at the Far
go race meeting. he will have to take
his chances with the free for all class
in which he is entered, the 2:l2 pace
not having filed. This puts him in
pretty hot company.
