SOME EXCITING FINISHES

White Patch, a Son of Joe Patchen,
Wins in Straight Heats in the Pace.
Track In Poor Condition and Time
Shows Slow.
The track continued slow for the
races Wednesday afternoon, but the
judges thought something could be
done toward lettering the racing and
had conference with the drivers
after the first heat in the 2:17 trot,
with the result that the time was i'm
proved with each succeeding hest of
the race, and there were four heats,
an even ten second difference hcing
made in the first and last heats.
In the hangover of the three min
ute trot, three heats having been
made Tuesday afternoon, Stamboul
Princess showed to the front in ex-
cellent style, on the first heat She
got away third but by steady driving
she was soon in the lead, and once
to the front she was never threatened
at any time, winning in 2:3O. Grub
Coleman, Mack Roda and High Art
finishing in the order named. STAIN
boul Princess is owned by Highland
Stock Farm. and the vi. DRY for the
mare was popular one.
In the 2:17s pace Highland Stock
Farm had a promising entry in the
chestnut Ally Willie Lnffey, who got
away first at the word, and made
game fight to retain the lead. staying
well to the front in the first half
which was paced in y4A. Hal Pulas-
XII and White Patch got ahead of her
at the three-quarter pole with Pulas-
XII leading, but White Patch was CON-
ing like wind, and Mnen the turn of
the stretch was reached he began
closing up the gap and before the
wire was reached he was working
well up to the side of his game COM
petitor, and came under the wire by
a neck.
The second heat was less exciting
and the Patchen horse got away first,
holding his ground well all the way
round bat was again headed by Hal
Pulaski before the three-quarter post
was reached, but again White Patch
crowded into first place-as the stretch
was reached and easily won the heat.
In the get away on the third neat
Hal Pulaski was first, Willie Caffey
second, White Patch third, Little
Henry in the rear. For more than
half mile the grey gelding was peck
eted by Hal Pulaski and the Gentry
colt but for the third time showed his
ability to get away from his competi-
tors when the necessity arose, and
took the last heat even more easily
than he had the preceding ones.
The 2:17 trot furnished some real
excitement, although White Patch in
the pace had aroused some enthusi-
asm by his speed. With Cherry Cen
try, Mack Bow, Miss Carnack and
Silver Star as the starters there was
promise of real trotting race. The
first heat, however, proved disap-
pointment in point OF time, but this
was improved as the race proceeded.
The first mile was won by Cherry
Gentry, Miss Carnack second, Mack
Bow third, and silverStar rather
poor fourth. Miss Carnack won the
next three heats in succession, Mack
Bow fighting her every inch of the
way in the. second and third. and Sill
yer Star making her exert herself in
the fourth. The time was better
with each heat. saas~a
