day events. The 2:14 $1,000 trot was
one of the best harness races held on
the local field. No time records were
broken, but the apparent equality of
the horse blood made the three heats
exciting.
Captain Aubrey little bay horse
owned by the King Hill Stock Farm,
in st. Joe won the three heats and set
the time but at no time was Captain
Aubrey able to keep his TANKS away
from the breath of the three horses
following. He led in the start. chose
the fence, Rugged the white streak all
around the track and in the same
steady stride clipped the shadow of the
wire first.
Bob Riley beat out Bizzy Izzy for
second place. In the second heat Bizzy
Izzy was forced into second place by
some clever driving on the part of
Driver Jailette of Herington. Bizzy
Izzy looked like second money, but
allowed Bob Riley to beat him out on
the home stretch in the third heat
and out of second dough. In all heats
and all quarters the four horses mixed
their shadows.

S-Ycar-Old Pace $500.
There were some pretty horses in
this race. In fact. some of the three
year olds Tuesday made many race
horse enthusiast feel his pocketbook.
The fact that two three-year-old races
covered the program brought out the
best flesh in this event in the west
and it was all on the Topeka track
Tuesday.
The races were not as thrilling as
the other events of the day-the horses
did not stay together. In the first half
or quarter the winner could be picked.
But the complete control held by the
drivers, the nerve and fibre displayed
by the horses and the gracefulness OF
their action and lines was worth the
standing stakes.
Columbia Fire led at all times in the
three-year-old pace. The fire boy led
the string-and 1t was real string
The five horses got their position at
the start, hung close to the fence and
kept this gait until they were tagged
off the track. Each horse seemed to
have been placed-and there he stuck

repetition of the previous standing
and the money stood.

The -year-old trot was an odd
race. Cheney and Ramey Constan-
tine fought 1t out for first place and
the other two horses were content to
lag along and watch the fun. Jack
wood made no attempts to win a
place-his driver kept his steady and
exhibited a beautiful stride.
The race between Cheney and Ram
ey Constantine was fast and exciting
If Ramey Constantine had been able
to keep his feet he would have won
first money Tuesday. He had the
and the wind and when running
j smoothly showed real class. But
Ramey couldn't stand the pace and
when he was all but conceded first
money on the last lap of the third
heat he Ieaped in the air, lost his
footing and came under the wire pull
ing his wagon. and driver in jerks
Cheney lost the second heat in the
same manner. But ii was a hail
raising tussle between the two lead
ers.
