GET AWAY DAY
At THE LAGOON
No More Running Races in Vi
cinity of Salt Lake Until
Next Year.
FORCE SHOWS STARTLING
IMPROVEMENT IN FORM
Runs Mile in 1:403-5, and
Could Have Done Consider
ably Better.

The last day OF racing at the Lagoon
is here, According to present plans
there will be no more real racing until
next year. although the track may be
used for some two-day bush meet or in
sipid trots. The big game with the real
thrills will end today which has been
called Moose day.
The Moose handicap with such good
ones Spohn Arasee and others will be
the feature race.
The manager of the BamberSer route
has promised TO make extraordinary
efforts TO provide prompt transportation
for the big crowds.
Force was the sensation yesterday
Entry OF Force was refused recently for
inconsistent running. but upon represen-
tations made by the Crystal stable Force
was reinstated Yesterday he ran the
mile in lao SIS. and he did not do his
best II was the genera! opinion that y
he had been forced TO extend himself
he would have eaualed the track record.
His performance as II was furnished a
tremendous contrast to those races in
| which Force at short price was dis
gracefully beaten. A great deal has been
| said about Sevenfull's inconsistent run
| ming, but that steed never showed a
greater change in form than Force did
yesterday.
Sanel Captures First.
Saltigrade was supposed to have the
first race at his mercy, but Sanel made
a great. sprint and won with Gomul sec
| ond and Royal Dolly third. Royal Dolly
was well played to win.
In the second race Ocean Shore almost
outclassed the others, but Acoln, Doro-
thy, Ann and Anna May were all liberal
he pleased, Ben Uncas was second and
Acolin was third,
\ select few had a tip on Whidden,
the third race, great many others got
| In line on the good thing. Favorite
players stuck to Blgin. while the long
shot brigade went 10 Buna for plunge
at 20 to 1, Bunas victory at a long price
gave them hope that she would win yes
terday, but Buna was not in the money.
third, This race was a mile and a quar-
ter, The time was 2:O7 3-5.
With Napa Nick scratched. only four
horses faced the barrier In the fourth
race Lochiel was the favorite, but Gold
| finn was backed most literally, Montauk
| Don. too, al long price. had many ad-
| herents, but Pay Streak, the winner was
played only by Il small clique that knew
| his present form. He ran the futurity
course In :O9 or within five -ninths OF
n second OF the track record. Goldfinn
was second and Lochiel was third,
Sorrowful Wins Sixth,
| The fifth race was the one in which
Force showed his startling return TO
his best form. Dorothy l.edgett was sec
ond and Massa was third.
Sorrowful won the last race. Binocu-
For some reason Binocular. which is
usually we'll played. was neglected yes
terday, although his odds for place and
show were good. Green Isle'se perfor-
nance IN getting the show money was
totally unexpected. Marsaret Randolph
was supposed to be the best in the race
but she did not show 1t.
a turf special for Butte will leave late
| tonight and others will go tomorrow
The number OF turf followers who will &c
| to Butte from Salt Lake will be larger
than some of the crowds that used to
patronize Buena Vista. Everyone is
sorry TO leave. for they say there is not
another race track in America with such
pleasant environments as the Lagoon.
