The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1909-10-01

go over to today's program. The 2.24 pace
30 tIot brought out fine field of seven
starters and the spectators were brought
to their feet at the outset when Winona
G.. and Leonard Gillig drove out the finish
OF the first heat so closely that to many
il looked like an even thing, Those di-
rectly under the wire, however were able
to see that the former had hair the bet
ter of Chicks entry Watago finished
ones looked to see the Athol mare go as
well as she did in the second. In this heat
Winona took the lead but could hold it
only to the half. AT this point Watago
came to the front and stayed there al
though she had difficulty in keeping her
nose anead of the roam gelding Wedgewood
Baron. The third heat was like unto the
second, Winona and Leonard Gllig head
ing the bunch until the third turn. Here
the Wedgewood horse made a game at
tempt to go to the front, but skip on the
stretch proved fatal to his chances. Wa
tago came up fast on the outside and beat
Winona in a driving finish In the fourth
heat the judges announced that Lang in
stead of Burton would drive the mare
Roxy Anne it appearing to the officials
eyes that the White River Junction entry
was not doing all she might Their judg-
ment seemed confirmed when the new
driver took the lead and maintained it to
the final stretch, but there something hap
pened to Roxys motive power and she
went into the air long enough to allow
Watago to go under the wire Just ahead of
Baron Wedgewood. Many thought that
Roxy had been driven off her feet, but the
Judges took another view of it and fined
Burton S25 for not driving to win, order
ing also that Driver Lang be given like
sum when Burton had reimbursed the as
SocIation.
The 2.30 stake trot with only three en-
tries gave promise of being very tame
affair but turned out to be exactly the OPP
posite. Commodore Bingen took the first
and second heats in manner that made
him appear all the candy. but in the third
the roam stallion May Bird came to his
own and won a sizzling finish amid the
cheers of the crowd And he did it again
in the fourth heat showing his speed by
closing a wide gap made in the first half
when he went wrong for moment. The
fifth and deciding heat was trotted this
morning, Bingen winning in 2:l9A:
The county race was easy for Theodore
was recorded in the race in which he
started Wednesday. Dynamite, CHECKER
ings entry, blew up in the first heat and
finished third to Dick Brino, but in the
second and third heats second went to him
of the explosive name. Sloppy W., the
mare that made such poor showing
Wednesday, managed to beat out Kit for
fourth place, showing that what she needs
is work of the right kind. One horseman
was heard to say after seeing her trot the
last heat that two weeks handling would
enable her to beat the bunch The sum
