BEDWELL HORSES
WIN TWO RACES
Nyles 0'Connell and Judge
Quinn Both Successful at
Lagoon Race Course.
ROUND AND ROUND GETS
OFF BAD AND LOSES
Biggest Crowd Since Opening
Day Sees Good Card and
Speculates Freely.

Lagoon races yesterday drew the big
gest crowd since the opening day Inc
capacious grand stand was full while
the hcrses were running and between
races there was a crush in the betting
ring. Frequently spectators who de
layed speculation too long were com
PEELED to form flying wedges to gel
to the bookies. They were all good
humored. even when hats were tram
pied on or boutonnieres crumpled.
II. G. Bedwell won two races yes
terdsy with Myles O'Connell and an,
Judge Quinn. Ever since Bedwell
arrival a number OF turf followers
who remembered his former successes
have been following his few entries
More than one after the races were
over Yesterday lamented the fact thai
they had Just made up their mlnds
to stop betting on Bedwell entries un
til the horses were little better ac-
climated. When a card has been run
OFF anyone can make trite and OBJ
vious comments. but after Madmar
ran recently everyone might have de
duced from his performance that the
Bedwell steeds were IN form.
Round and Round Fails,
Round and Round was the disap
pointment of the day so far as specu
lation was concerned. The heavies'
wager that was set in on him was by
his own Beloit stable people. who
backed him up for $500. and the book
makers became reluctant to accep,
more at the price. The explanation OF
Round aud Round s failure to win the
fifth race was made by Jockey Beyan
TO the Judges, who called him into the
stand. The boy said that Round and
Round threw his head up at the start
and that before the steed could be
brought back into his stride all chance
OF his winning the race was lost
Round and Round finished sixth. There
was great deal of money on him
most spectators regarding him as the
best bet OF the day.

was much better than on other crowde
days. Although the track is much far
iher from Salt Lake than Latonia 1
from Cincinnati, or Churchill Downs i
from Louisville, the Lagoon patrons ge
home about as quickly as the peopl
do from the Kentucky tracks. Thos
who are annoyed at delays here ma
be thankful they are not on the L. & \

times requires forty-fve minutes TO ee

the street cars are always inadequat

does coming from Lagoon.
IMMENSE CROWD AT DERBY.
