Detroit Feature.
CABEL CAPTURES PACE

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 4.-Reusens'
driven by the battle-scared veteran,
Ed. Geers, shot under the wire
winner in the $4,000 M. and M. stake
here yesterday. Tenara, the Ken
lucky mare, winner this year OF three
of the big stakes, could not Withstand
the terrific rushes of Geers's geldlng
and do better than second.
Cabel won the 20 pace and Flower
Direct the 2,O5 pace, both in straight
heats, while Dr. Burns Jr., captured
the EOS pace after dropping the first
heat.
The excitement came in the third
heat of the M. and M. event. Tenara
and Judson Girl were half a dozen
lengths ahead of the field from the
start until the stretch was entered.
About halfway down the straight
away. Reusens shot out of the bunch
in marvellous display of speed, came
on even terms. with the leaders,
showed in front of the firing Tenara
and beat her to the wire by the mar
rowest of margins. Judson Girl was
third, and Star Winter next.
Reusens went out in front in the
heat, but fell back to fourth place be-
fore the half-mile post was reached.
In that position he remained until
halfway down the stretch, when
Geers gain sent him through to an
other close decision. Geers and An
drews had no competition in the final
heat. They sent their charges out
ahead, the mare showing a trifie in
the lead. Nearing the finish, ReuserE
once more responded to the master
drivers call and flashed ahead.
Fanny Stanton looked like a winner
in the first heat of the 2.10 pace, but
on the back stretch she ran away.
The mare finished far behind the flag,
but the judges placed her fourth.
Cabel won the heat, after a hard
drive, from Strathstorm. The next
two were easier for Cox, with Muir
phys horse always close UP.
Flower Direct took the 2.05 pace in
straight heats. Legg was unable to
properly handle Walter Cochato and
after allowing the handsome stallion
to run the last half-mile in the first
round, was set down by the judges
and Geers was put in his place. The
summaries.
