the wire, hut it was "a close finish. 1t
was a procession unuer the wire in
the first heat, Steele being nearly two
lengths behind the winner, Cabel,

Steele was Elsie Snow. the thiro
horse in the race. The horses kept
the same positions in the final heat
although the finish was rather more
exciting.
