 The Races.
 The big automobile race kept every body keyed up all afternoon but that is all told about elsewhere The flesh and blood machines in harness did their full share of the entertaining and it was ig day even beside the auto mobiles. Dr. Frank E.. Stone who has presided at every racing meet here save one. was again in the starting box and was given a royal welcome by hun dreds of fair visitors who have begun to regard him as part of the big annual show.
 The first race called was the 2:27 trot for 5000, best three in five and l it took four heats to decide it. It was a splendid race and notable in the time reductions put as bars to the heat winners, against ever appearing again in the slow classes. Zomell owned and driven by Walter Maben drew the pole. In order the other starters were as fol- lows: Prodigal Baroness owned by R. F. Allen and driven by Wall; Bolock owned and driven by Kelly; Prince ! Zombro owned by J. c. Belt and driven by McEuen; Silverstein own ed by R. S. Wood and driven by Shaw. and Zsmbretta owned be Charles Sad | dler and driven bv Hewitt.
 Zomell broke on the back stretch and BGock took the lead Zombretta pass | ing before the wire was reached. The finish was Zombretta, Prodigal. Bolock. 1 Zomell Silverstein, and Prince Zom- bro. The time was 33A. 1:0sA. I:401s. 2:I5s. In the second heat Zombretta was closely pressed by Bolock at the half 1 then the latter broke and the finish was Zombretta, Prodigal. Silverstein, zomelI. and Bolock in the rear. Time. 34. 1:0s. 1:41&. 2:16%. In thethird heat Zombretta was crowded b.- Silverstein to a break aft ,er the first pole was passed and Prod igal and Bolock both passed them till Bolock broke on the stretch. Zomeli i took the lead until he broke and came | under the wire running. The others
 
 Silverstein. owing to ZomelPs break the judges placed Prodigal first and Zomell second. Time. 34, 1909, 1:41k, 2:16A.
 In the fourth heat Zomell took the pole early but Prodigal regained it at the quarter. At the half Bolock was in third place and on the stretch 1t was a close shave between ZOmell and Zombretta, the latter winning by d , neck. Bolock third. Silverstein fourth and Prodigal distanced. The time was 34. 1:0s1s, 1:41%. 2:16. The money was distributed as they finished. 2:08 Pace.
 This was over and above everything, the race of the day. It was fine field of horses and taken as a whole they punched most of the time in each of the five heats allowed by the race. It was finally won by Queen Pomona, a notable California raised mare now hailing from Provo City, Utah. Queen Pomona has started four times on the Phoenix track and has lowered her rec ord in every race. She is now marked at 2:O5A and gets the long end of the s5OOO purse At the conclusion of the 
 with a necklace of American Beauty roses and she walked proudly from the track But even with this record she only won two out of the five heats and had to run down three dangerous com- petitors to do it. Her friends say she could have finished the last heat first had she tried but it was not necessary as the five heats were disposed of. she was a winner in second place and did not care to pace herself to death. 1t was quite apparent the field was afraid of her and according to the gossip of the stables she had to fight the whole | class which was combined against her. l In the first heat Brewers Kid was sent after her and got her. but he put his best strength out to do it and failed to do signal work thereafter. Delilah however forged in and won second place in the second heat, winded her self and in the third was drawn. Dick Allen was sent after the Queen in the third but she run him down to second place. He perked up enough to win the fourth heat but was distanced in the last one. Queen meantime de-'l cided that second place in the fourth and fifth was good enough to get the money so she played that game and let Miss Castle. one of the ambitious ladies of her court win the last and slowest heat. Anyhow Miss Castle wolf it whether the Queen planned it or not If this was not the plan the horses were acting on it as a fine theory any how for the results indicate the story. |
 The start in the first heat was made | with Hal Raven the notable blind horse with a record of 2:03% at the 1 pole. The others in order were: Major GantZ, Queen Pomona, Josephine. | Brewer. Dick Allen. Miss Castle, Deli | lah.. After much scoring they got away nicely and circled the oval all very close together. Brewers Kid soon took | the lead and kept it to the finish end- ing in order by Queen Pomona, Delilah. |
