The third race. the 2:19 trot, was
the sensational performance of the
programme. Laura Davenport was
Picked as the winner by many and
was the favorlte with the hooktes.
Some of the old horsemen that mad
seen Whiteline in harness were eager
to bet on his winning the race. In
tho start of the first heat Whiteline
came in far in the rear OF the other
starters and was looping from the
stair till far around tie oval. Hull
could not get him under control un-
til nearly half way around the oval.
Then Whiteline settled down and did
the best trotting seen here this year.
He made the secondl round of the
oval in 1904 but finished last. This
heat went to Laura Davenport. The
next heat Silverllne got away from
the wire with the field and won the
heat finishing far In the lead. The
third heat ne was again bad actor
and finished last permitting Laura
Davenport to pass the wire first while
he brought up the rear. Whitellne
was free from nervousness In the next
two heats and seemed rs fresh us a
horse that had just come on the
track. He took the last two heats
showing UP the field.
\ Six months ago Whiteline was moth
ing but a runaway horse that had
been spoiled Driver Hull has been
training him and II will not be long
until he will be known as one of the
best trotters on the track. His stay
Ing qualities are wonderful. Yester-
day he made circuit after circuit
around the truck before his race was

the freshest horse of the bunch.
