GOOD SPORT ON TRACK
A Spectacular Spill in the 2.I5
Pace Yesterday
Kid Haltoon Won Second Heat Of 2.1e
Pace Wednesday Afternoon by Eyelash
Margin.
TUESDAYS RACING.


The track events Tuesday furnished
good sport, but not of the hair-raising
variety. The 2.25 stake pace was all
Orale's. This horse took staight heats
jogging. In the second Colonel beat
johanna Patchen for second place in
pretty fight. In the last heat Orale was
yards ahead with the others struggling.
The 2.17 stake pace for a purse of $500
was in straight heats, but the third heat
was notable, from the way in which
Prince Adeen, driven by Sunderlin,
pushed Floradora, the mare which the
late f. l.. Chickering of Westmoreland
drove a few seasons ago Floradora kept
to the front, however, although it was
necessary to step the quarter better
than 81 seconds and the half at a 2.1O
clip. In the second half Prince Alden
dropped back, and King Regent then
came up fast and made a great drive to
win. Floradora and King Regent both
came to the wire under the whip in the
closest finish and the fastest heat of the
afternoon. The New Hampshire bred
horse had good stamina, however, and
won by half a length.
There was a big field in the pa trot,
necessitating much scoring. Two or
three of the horses broke on the first
turn in the opening heat and gave
George NJ. long lead and he was never
headed, although John c. came fast in
the stretch and was a good second. In
the second heat there were numerous
breaks. Theodore x. kept his feet and
was ahead during a large part of the
first half. Then Queen Arista went to
the front and stayed there, but George
NJ challenged in the stretch and made a
good fighting finish.
In the third heat Queen Arista acted
badly and after scoring six times the
word was given with Queen Arista 25
yards behind the bunch. This proved
too much of a handicap and she only
finished third. All but the horses that
stood for the money were ruled out of
the last heat. Queen Arista took the
lead, but broke on the back stretch and
fell behind. Before the half was reach
ed George NJ. also went up in the air,
giving William NJ and John c. a lead
which looked safe, but ON the third
quarter both of these horses slowed
down, acted badly, and George NJ. passed
them and won.
