BY j. II. 3.


The Tri-City Driving association |
performed its part notably in furnish |
ing entertainment for the visiting
Elks, with a good racing card at
Exposition park yesterday af-
ternoon. Thomas Norton acted
as starter. This was his first appear
ance here and he insisted that each
heat be given the best possible start,
consequently the racing was delayed
a little. More speed Will be shown at
the next meet and the people will not
be kept at the track SO long.
BANKER WINS HONORS.
Herman Banker was the king of the
drivers yesterday. His horses were
entered in three races and he sue
Ceeded in winning each of them His
hardest race was the 2:20 trot against
Judge Hooker and Red Clarence. A
week ago Red Clarence surprised
every one by winning in three straight
heats, but he was not working good
yesterday, and the best he could get
was second place.
! Lavron Jr. was working his best
and would have won in straight heats
but for a slight bobble in the first
trial, giving that heat to Judge
Hooker.
Almeda R came over from Daven-
| pert and won the 2:35 pace in straight
heats, from the great Rock Island
PAGER, Lady Sheriff.. who did not show
near the class yesterday that she did
a week ago.
La Myoleta, owned by Z. A. Soule,
made her first appearance of the sea-
son and won a hard fought race il
straight heats. She showed no signs
of going lame as was predicted by
some of her admirers.
TCnso B is one of the best green
horses that ever trotted this track.
He should have won the race one. two,
| three, but his driver did not drive
for the second heat and the colt was
beaten by nose.
TANCIFUL DOIN'S.
One Of our sojourning Bills gave a
very clever imitation of a slack rope
walker On the track and got away with
his farce nicely much to the edifica
ton OF the crowd. Mr.. and Mrs. Ward
again entertained the people with the
: fancy Kentucky saddle horses and
were given a great hand.
The summary:
