crowd of race fans witnessed the
event. Madison was again we'll repre-
scented and so were Neigh and other
surrounding towns. The departure of
the band from Norfolk avenue enroute
to the track was signal for the bust
ness houses to close their doors for
the day and employers and employees
alike soon elbowed each other in the
enthusiastic crowd of race fans.

a fast track made it possible for some
speedy races.

third. The best time made by Tom
jefferson was 2:261s, made In the
second heat.
Dude ArchdaIe's Sister Here.
In the 2:35 pace Blue Dale was
picked a favorite more on account of
the reports that her half sister Dude
Archdale had won the merchants and
manufacturers $4,000 stake at De
troit Wednesday. Even money was
bet on her for winner, but it soon
went down for place, and after the
first heat. when she came in last, bets
were hard to get. She however, re-
taliated by coming third in the second
heat, and in the last heat made SEN
sational pace for first place, followed
closely, however, by Star Junior rub
bling his nose on her ears. In this race
Colonel Davis not only set pace to the
other fast horses, but won the race,
making his best time at 2:201a.
In the first heat of the pace delay
was experienced by Greeley Hal losing
boot, but they were soon off with
Hal leading. At the half Hal still led
by a length, with Colonel Davis sec
ond and Cupid C third At the three
quarters, however, Colonel Davis
seemed to just walk away from them
all, and on the home stretch her driver
was enthusiastically cheered, his good
driving bringing his Colonel in, win
ming the heat. Greeley Hal came in
second and Cupid followed close be-
hind.
Even money was bet on Cupid c to
win Just as the horses came in for the
second heat, but the bets were slow,
owing to the mishap to the Cupid's
sulky when coliding with Minnie l. at
| the turn. They were soon on their
way, with Greeley Hal as usual max
ing the pace. Colonel Davis, however,
was taking it easy, holding down a
good position; Blue Dale was looking
for big money and made an effort to
show up, but in the home stretch
Greeley Hal gave a squirt, but was
soon overtaken by Colonel Davis who
won again, stepping steadily, while
Greeley Halls driver used the whip
furiously.
In the beginning of the third heat
odds were 2 to that Blue Dale would
not even show, and money was lost
she going second. Before starting
Blue Dale lost one of her shoes and
again, delaying the race. They were
off in a bunch and Colonel Davis was
soon two lengths ahead, winning cas-
lily the heat and the race, with fight
on between Blue Dale and Star Junior

In the trot Tom Jefferson was picked
as winner from the start and Kittie
Dillon, who was also favorite, die
some bad breaking, coming in fol

breaking.
