RACING MATINEE
SHOULD PRODUCE
SOME GOOD SPORT
the Classes Have Worthy
Competitors--Ouid Mr.. Stem
gels Sensation, One of the
Steeds Expected to Make the
Races Interesting.
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

All the classes TOT the matinee eNeute
over the local track this afternoon
have filled well and a very interesting
meeting should result. Several new
performers are among the horses an
tered, some of which may throw a sur
prise into the natives.
Conspicuous among these is the big
bay mare Pattie Ash, entered in the
slow trot by w. D. Quick, of Wash
ington. During the past season this
mare was in the stable of Irving g..
STEELE and looked like a good ~trotter.
I have timed her a mile in her work
in 2:2S and she could slip a quarter In
80 seconds. She was a good-gaited
mare, and II she Is a race mare and
has made the improvement reasonable
to expect in a sound young animal,
she should in every way crafty her
owner during the present season.
In her race today she will meet all
the green trotters ready to start, and
while some of these can step along
right well, the race to me would look
like easy picking for the daughter Of
Ashland Wilkes, IL she is up to a race.
Five Entries in 2;s3 Pace.
Five entries were received In the
1888 pace, and If all the horses named
score for the word 1t should result in a
very interesting race. At the last mat
inee the roam stallion Mcneil, owned
n driven by James Burns, won the
slow pace with comparative ease, yet
this afternoon he will be called upon
to meet two newcomers, Lady Hughes
and John.
The former lis q fast mare, n II she
can carry her extreme freight h will
perhaps overcome the roam horse, but
she will have to keep attending to busi-
ness all the way II the son of Mckinney
is himself. and 1t may be h q the horse
John will upset the apple cart ii this
event.
The 2i20 Pace.
The 2:25 trot should be productive Of
a very interesting race, and while there
are but -four horses named all appear
to be up to something and capable of
trotting some fast miles.
The bay stallion Bond Issue will
probably trot out the favorite. and II
he will trot 1t will tax the most SUI
preme efforts of any of his contempo-
raries to encompass his defeat; yet. 1t
is a field OF very good horses, any one
of which would appear to have a
chance.
The black mare Ann Boyd will have
many admirers, and II she is driven
with care the WHINE of the race will
doubtless have to come and see her.
The 2,22 Pace.
Another race that should keep the
audience on tip-toe from start to finish
is the 2:22 trot n pace, In which the
brown gelding Pot Roast, owned by
AL Horton, will be a starter. In this
event C. ]. Farr has entered Ben Dat
and Ophelia Direct, and II the latter
Is started she should prove a very
worthy competitor for Pot Roast. AL
though she is a PAGER and can score
| away like a rocket, the brown gelding
: Will keep her busy all the way.
Mills 2t1S.
At this time Lillian w, owned by
John Gregory, would appear to be the
choice In the 2:15 class. There are
other horses entered that have perhaps
exhibited a greater flight of extreme
speed, but until they meet and defeat
the chestnut mare in an actual contest
the bouquets most justly belong to her
, until that time.
! The bay mare Ouida, owned by
q George Stengel, is entered in this race,
and 1t is reported that she has been a
, mile In 2:13 over Elkwood farm track.
: Such a mile. of course, would win here,
( and while II is possible that the minia-
r ture daughter of Stately may do 1t, 1t
is hardly probable.
The bay gelding Little Andy will per-
: haps have some following by reason of
s the fact that on July 4 he was a bang
$ up second to Maxf1eld Patchen in 2:15h.
but 1t must be remembered that in that
8 race he wore the hopples and that to-
p morrow, If he starts, he will be called
g upon to race without the "Indianas."
Walter Hal Goes 2n1A.
The gray pacing stallion. Walter
Hal, 1904, who placed the track record
0 paced at Olympic Park at 2:10A last
autumn, paced in AIM at Sussex on
0 July 4, which is the track record at
that plant. This horse is owned by
n Richard Delaield, the New York
banker, and was driven by Harry
= Murray, a son of Bud Murray.
Goshen Class Races.
Goshen has announced the following
class races, each with a value of
81, 900. in connection with the stakes to
be ruin off at its Grand Circuit meet
ing in August. A 2:14 trot, a 2:1S pace
, and a 2:27 trot. On Wednesday Al
Pennoid will drive the invader, Willy,
against the track record placed at 2:0s
by Gamor last season, and on Thurs
day Doc Trasner will drive that won
y derful black t~rotter, Uhlan. an exhibit
ton mile.
Marion ID. Fast.
In the ina heat of the 2:1S pace al
Hohokus the little bay mare Marion
=, d. was timed separately and she paced
her mile in 2:15Is. She is thoroughly
game and will doubtless win in the
classes to which she is eligible as the
season progresses.
Hall Gaines Loss.
e The bay stallion Hall Game, whc
was overcome by the heat in the sec
ond session of the 2:1s pace. and sub
~ sequently expired, was owned by c
F. ]. Weber, of Yonkers, and was ir
= the combination of Pete Goode. HI
"a has been a very fair kind of a race
! horse. and his loss is a keen one tt
