third horse, The Nubian, satisfied with
last money. This order of running kent
up for the first half mile and Burn
ham Rex had procured such a lead
that it was feared Roseben could not
cut out the daylight. When the last
quarter was reached the fun began
The crowd was cheering wildIy-they
had not taken their seats since the
start. Roseben gave lurch forward
and with name straight to the wind he
began to eat up space. For a hundred
YARDS he was successful. then the next
hundred yards he seemed to stand still.
A groan came from the grandstand
Roseben was given up. While making
the maj turn just before coming down
on the hom estretch Roseben made an
other lurch-and this time the white
posts or the fence were rushing toward
| him.
Coming down the home stretch. it
was hard to tell what gains were made
But when the two fighting horses
reached the .grandstands, Roseben was
half length in the rear When with
in 100 feet of the wire something mar
velous happened--no one seems to
know just how 1t was-but Roseben
closed up the gap, ran past the horse
at the pole and, shooting his head for
ward, he nosed out the prettiest vic
tory of the day The time in this heat
of the 2:30 trot was 2:2OA, or seven
teen seconds faster than the first heat.
The race alone was worth the price
of admission"
The first race of the day-a 2:21 trot
for 81, 500 stake-was won easily by
Ante Russell. Ante took three firsts
and had speed to spare. Aquil rushed
Ante near the wire in the three heats
but was never able to clip the shadow
in the same second.
The second race. the Pill pace for
| $1,000, was an exhibition OF horses well
known in Topeka either through the
races last year or the performances
the first day OF this week. Bert H took
| the three heats, making each heat in
| 1917 The last heat of the race Bert H
| was rushed at the wire by Lady Shur-
bert with the prospects of losing if the
| wire had been fifteen feet further
away But in making this squirt Lady
| Shurbert took second money, making
| two thirds and a second.
The fourth race-a running race
| was surprise to the betting fratern-
ity. The bookies were all betting on
Gold Dust-the hero of Derby day. But
when the race began Gold Dust was no
| where to be found. On investigation,
| it was found that Gold Dust and rider
were left standing at the post-neither
of them able to make the other move.
| Caucus won the race against Gee Gone
with Fred Funston close behind.
The fifth race was won by Calvarone
with Maddoo Glenn tickling the Shout
ders. Betting favored Maddoo Glenn.
The sixth race. the half mile feature,
was the scene of a broken track record.
| Dactyllis pushed from behind by Alice
| Campbell and Snub Blaze made the
! four furlongs in 40 seconds. The start
was a hard one and 60 the horses
were given the field they raced like
| mad. Dactyllis started easy and lag
ged until it was time to make the
| money
