The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1910-10-08

Ray Dunsmore won the race,
Charley Miller's car driven by j.
| w. Crichton, state agent for the
Ford, second and +. T. Heberton,
made good time on the stretches
but the other two cars had
weight in the weight in the back
to help hold them on the turns,
therefore Mr.. Heberton was
handicapped, The race was for
one mile but the machines made
several laps and the timer did
not catch the time on any full
mile. The best time for a half
was 81 seconds equal to the
time for half was 81 seconds
equal to the time made by the
race horses.
Mr.. Hayes drove his 50-horse
power Jackson for an exhibition
half-mile and made the distance
in 54 seconds. The machine was
capable for very high speed but
the short turns prevented this.
The grand stand showed its APP
probation of these exhibitions
and much prefer this speed
rather than faster with its dan
gers.
Wednesdays racing cards
were good. Four events were
pulled off during the afternoon.
The first was a saddle horse race
with four entries. Dan by Culp,
Red Top by Smith, Rich by Jim
Richardson and Wallace by
Wiseman. Dan won with Red
Top second.
Half mile special was run with
Maine. Dynamite and Seventy
as starters, Maine first Seventy
second. time so.
An exhibition trot by Claud
McGee's Sidney Wilkes was an
attractive feature. He made
the mile with running mate in
2:33.
Half mile running race closed
the card for the afternoon.
This was between Wade Hamp-
ton and Bonnie Regs and was
won by the former in 81.
The racing cards Thursday
consisted of four running races.
the first had four entries, a sad
die horse event, in which Allen
Jones gray took first money with
the Thos. Stevens colt second.
Nell Parker and Aruhur Culp
each had a horse in the race.
A special was pulled off next
between Wade Hampton and
Sylvia, a mare belonging to Jack
Parker. Maine was entered but
scratched on account Of lameness.
Wade won the race without
effort, time 81.
The Indian horse race was
then on the cards and four start
ed. Owing to the late hour the
judges told the Indians to go but
once around the track. This was
disappointment to the crowd in
the grand stand as all the fun of
the Indian horse race is in the
second lap when they whip their
ponies and get all the run that is
in them.
There were three starters in
the Z mile free for all. Bonnie
Regs took first place, Seventy
second, Dutch also ran. Time
LII.
The races on Thursday were
not satisfactory. In the saddle
horse race and special 1 the hor-
ses were scored at the post too
long. They were both good
races but the people get impa-
tient when they Jockey" so
long at the post for an advan-
tage.
The races yesterday were more
satisfactory to the crowd and
furnished some close finishes.
The first was a pony race and
there were four entries: Ben,
Prince, Gray and Joe. They got
away without any trouble, Ben
trking first place under the wire
with Prince second.
A special 4 dash was then pull
ed Off and it was a pretty race
between Flute, Ora Hill's saddle
horse, and Pilgrim Rose with
with Jack Parker up.
The four and one-half furlong
dash was another fine trial of
speed between Bonnie Reg and
Wade Hampton. The latter won.
Seventy came in third. Time So.
This was followed by the stock
parade which was the most in
teresting feature of the after
