EMILY ELLEN WINS
RICH DETROIT STAKE

today of the Detorit Driving clubs TWEEN
ty-sixth annual blue ribbon meet, which
covers the second week of the grand cir
cult season, was favored with racing con-
ditions little short of ideal. Fast time
was made in all of the events and the last
race of the day, the 2:o5 pace, brought
out the two fastest heats of the year
All races were won In straight heats
and the feature of the day, the Horseman
and Spirit of the Times futurity, for three
year-olds, proved something of disap-
pointment In both the trotting and pacing
divisions. The fields were small in both
groups, only three accepting the issue In
the pacing end of the stake.
Alice Roosevelt was favorite In the 2:1O
trot but Major Strong, second chance,
straight heats.
Emily Ellen was the big winner of the
day, taking the large end of the rich fu-
turity for three-year-olds, trotters, in
which Eva Bellini was favorite. She led
from start to finish in every heat and was
never in danger The third heat in this
event developed the closest finish of the
day behind the winner. Chatty Direct,
Eva Bellini and Bergen came to the wire
under the whip and finished so close to-
gether that the spectators could not pick
their positions. The $1,000 stake was di-
vided as follows: Emily Ellen, $3.50;
Chatty Direct, 1920; Eva Bellini, $500;
Bergen and Bon Vivant, $500 each. In ad-
dition, David NJ. Look of New York NOM
nator of the dam of Emily Ellen, re-
ceived $500 and a handsome silver cup
valued at $500.
| In the futurit ypace, Twinkling Dan was
an easy winner In all three heats.
In the 2:05 pace, Walter w. met defeat
hand by Pop" Geers.
| In tn first heat, with Snow riding. Wal
ter w. in the lead went into the air at
the head of the stretch when Ross K.

capped the distance flag. In the second
