Delays in the Program Mar
red Fridays Races In.
dian Relay Races Went
Over for Day.

Almost interminable delays that
could have easily been avoided by a
little determined action on the part Of
the Judges and the track marshal .drag-
ged a. good racing program out until
after o'clock last night. Even at
that. the Indian relay races were post
poned until today.
Bannice was given the Judges de-
cision over Arthur Hyman after the
most exciting race on the program yes
terday. Neck and neck they raced
around the course and crossed under
the wire only a few inches apart Ban
nice was In the lead by the tip Of his
nose but 1t gave him the race.
The distance flag dropped several
times yesterday afternoon. In the
first harness race. Idaho King was
distanced and came trailing in long
after Hokola. Lady Sirius and Padishah
had passed under the wire. Hokola and
Lady Sirius fought for first place in
the mile trot for the $500 purse and
they raced around the course so close
together that the grand stand could
not determine at. the distance which
one of them was in the lead. In the
first heat Padishah followed the other
two at distance, while Idaho King
came pounding along way in the rear.
The heats were distributed between
the three horses, Hokola was never
worse than second. however, while
Lady Sirius dropped to third In the
fourth heat. The best time made was
the record of Lady Sirius at 2:17. The
starts were good and the horses at
times made the course in tandem
with Lady Sirius and Hokola alternat-
ing for the lead.
Robby r. w. cut over the ground at
a 2:24H gait yesterday, when he took
both heats in the mile trot and pace
for two-year-olds. for $500 purse.
Adver Direct gave him a close run at
several stages Of the course. but he
came in under the wire ahead in both
heats.
'%There was great deal Of break
ing even in the best races. Padishah
and Lady Sirius broke and once 1t cost
the latter the heat when Hokola took
advantage in the loss of stride and led
the way under the wire.
The pocketing of Lady Sirius on the
first turn by Padishah set him back
and cost him the race. He came in
ahead of the others, but the judges set
him back to third and gave the hea;
to Hokola, who finished second.
Betting was much heavier yesterday,
