Meadow showed her class yesterday at
the Lagoon race course when. with l2o
pounds up, she ran the milo race called
the Overland handicap i'll 1888 As IL
is doubtful II there is any horse IN tram
ing in the whole United States just now
that can beat her at that distance Most

they carry moro than lis pounds, but
Meadow, when she finished yesterday
showed few signs of being all in.
Notwithstanding Meadows class, ChcS-
ter Krun was made the favorlte. opening
at IL to 3. Meadows last race. when
she was beaten by Sake, was regarded
by some as an index Of her present form
but she had 152 pounds up at that time
while Sake had only 80. Yesterday Inc me

handicap undoubtedly was the best that
was ever run in Utah.

Lowers Track Record.
Meadow was just head in the lead
as she got away: Jockey Cavanaugh
rode very confident race. taking into
account the fact that his mount was
packing top weight. so he let Sake. with
only 81 pounds up, make the pace until
the three-quarters, when Meadow look
command and kept it. Sake was running
at fast clip. too.
Chester Krum was the pretty, horse In
the race. His siken coat had been cur
ried and brushed until 1t shone. He even
had his forelock braided and tied with
a baby blue ribbon. He was handsome
and seemed inordinntely proud of him
self. but he found the pace too hot and
was an ignominlous last at the finish.
Arasee showed great gameness and
speed. finishing in the place. Sake was
third.
Meadow In action. however. is quite
as impressive as any thoroughbred, and
was even more graceful than the naughty
Chester. When she came under the wire
she was running like a machine She did
not seem to be eSerting herself TO the
utmost, for she was as light on her feet
as n dancing school girl. but she flashed
by at tremendous speed. When Jockey
Cavanaugh brought her back TO the
Judges stand she YVES greeted with
burst ~ applause. and Meadow. like some
human feminine star, actually looked up
at the crowd in a way that some OF her
admirers called a horse laugh. Most OF
Chester Krum, bur they were fair minded
enough to praise Meadows performance.
When this meeting finishes, il Is highly
probable that no other track In the west
will be able TO show faster time for its
first season. The track record broken
by Meadow was lao 35.
Meadow was the only steed in the race
that did not wear bandages, but in the
paddock her quiet demeanor was in
great contrast to the prancing Sake and
Chester Krum-. After the race 1t was the
universal opinion that Meadow, instead
NJ Sake. would have won the former han

will be an odds favorte, no matter what
the field, unless, Of course, she Is

race and was at n good price. There was
q hot tip out on Gramercy, while form
followers considered that either He

win. Electrowan got the place and He

much disgruntled when he came so near
and yet so far from justifying their ex

TO force money on him soon showed him
his error. Definite dropped I'm series OF
