the stake race that race was not finished
until yesterday.
The Senator had the pole at the start
of the PA pace. Lady RoXie led at the
half, but on the back stretch Leonard
GilHg, driven by Rowe, passed the bunch
and won by a good length. The second
heat opened with an accident, which
caused a little delay. Lady RoXie's sulky
locked with that OF Matte B., who was
just ahead of her, and Pierce, driver of
Lady RoNie, was thrown, his sulky being
overturned. Pierce Clung to the reins
and prevented what gave promise of be-
ing a runaway. At the same time Nc
Even Bel jumped ana kicked his driver,
Thompson, also did good work in pre-
venting a runaway. King Arthur had a
slight lead over Leonard Gilig until just
before the wire was reached. but the lat
ter horse barely nosed in. The specta-
tors away from the wire We're unable to
tell which was the winner. The third
heat was almost a duplicate OF the sec
ond. King Arthur pushing Leonard Gillig
hard throughout the mile.
kingsey Girl driven by Lang, turned
the first half mile in the go stake pace
in los, which caused the starter to re-
mark that the time was pretty good for
a 80 race. Dena was a close second in
that heat, and she took the next heat by a
good margin, passing Kingsey Girl on the
back stretch in the first half and main
tanning her lead. The start in the third
heat was perfect and Dena pulled away
from the bunch far enough so that she
logged a the end Of the mile. She broke
on the lower turn in the first half of the
fourth on account of a piece of paper on
the track, but she recovered quickly and
pushed Lady Bingen at the wire. In the
fifth and deciding heat, run off yester-
day noon, there was some rather tedious
scoring. Dena held the lead all the way
and finally joged under the wire more
| than two lengths ahead, with Kingsey
! Girl, Lady Bingen and Eastern Maid fol-
| lowing in order.
Only two towns were represented In the
three-county race. Two Hnsdale horses
| and two Keene horses started, and they
| furnished good sport. Dixie Lad broke
on the back stretch in the first two heats,
| losing much ground in the second. In the
| second also Boreais broke at the three
! quarters and finished second, but he was
! placed third for running. Dixie Lad beat
| SmugGler B. for second money near the
end of the last heat. In all the heats the
horses were well punched, but Rocksey c.
never was headed. The summaries:
