w T. Blakely is one of the Oldest
horse breeders in the Salt river
valley. He is also one of the most en-
thusiastic hOrsemen as we'll as being
an old fashioned preacher who sees no
harm in a preacher owning a good
horse. He is not skilful track driver,
but he got good work out of ROxie Le-
land and was proud of it. He worked
hard the first time around but was
crowded to second place. The next
heat he finished back in third place.
Then he got busy and though entitled
to the pole took second place and went
after it. The horse broke but recovered
and finished first after a fine drive.
Then he tried to make a speech from
the track but could not get attention.
Finally he worked his way to the
judges stand and tried it again. He was
hoOted and the wags called get the
hook" but his persistency won him
the audience and the wagS shut up
when ne told of his pride in breeding
and educating RoXie Leland. Then he
took two more heats and had the
crowd all with him. BY the time the.
race was over it is understood a local
man took an option on the horse for
81 1,O0O probably the highest price ever
offered for an Arizona bred young
ster.

2:27 Trot-S1 200.
In the 2:27 trot there were four start
ers, but one of the horses, Prince Del
Monte, was lame and not in condition
to go. A H. Davidson of the humane
society, told the driver he would have
to arrest him if he started the horse,
but he finally consented to let him
travel around in one heat to comply
with the race rules so he could be ex-
cused by the judges from further rae
ing. and it was so done. The other
horses went through the race in one,
two, three order. The summary:
