 DERBY WINNER
Takes Star Dash from Two Favorites Special Pace Goes to Hal J J.-BradmOnt Forces 2:15 into Extra Heats

I -
 Heats
 In the fastest time ever made for the distance Wisemason, a rank out slider, won the Arizona Derby, the race for which yesterdays program was named. And in the stretch, when the five horses came plunging to- ward the tape, less than a length and a half separated the winner from the trail animal, so close was the finish. Coming at the end of an afternoon of indifferent races, the derby, with it's stirring finish, was a thriller that deserved a better crowd than stayed for the last event.
 Nanny McDee and Henry Walbank had been picked as favOrites and there was lot of money on the lat ter to win. Wisemason, A. W. La vene's gelding, was put over the line with consummate skill, and won by saving until the last, the energy necessary to best the other fast horses.
 Starter McNair had no trouble starting this race He had announced the setting down of Jockey McCann for pulling up and disturbing the starts in the three quarter mile dash, and this evidently had a good effect on the riders. For they got off to the first start and made it a race all the way. The time for the derby was 1:471A for the mile and six teenth.
 Two -Year-OId Futurity Race
 Marvin Williams and NJ. c. Harden either failed to make the proper de- posit for entry of their two horses, LudelIo and Leland Lambert in the two-year-old futurity pace or else feared to race against Alta BarnatO, for it was a walkover for the number two horse. Alta did the mile in 2:32, just to show she could. and thereby acquired title to around $4O0 with very little exertion.
 Special Pace
 They were off with Dickens B be- hind. Starter McNair let them go and they strung out an even length apart along the back stretch, Hal J. leading. It was a race when they hit the stretch but Hal easily took two-Iength lead under the wire. Nifty was second and Cleopatra third. Time, 2:1OA.
 Dickens traiIed at the second start and stayed back the whole race. Hal won with Nifty second and Cleo strong al his shoulder Time 2:1O
 They got away with Cleo trailing, . well punched field. Hal won from 6 finish as flat as the start. Time: 2:1O.
 2:oe Trot
 On the fourth score in the 2:O9 trot, Alaric pole horse who had been breaking and spelling the start took fright at the aeropIane and ran away throwing Durfee. He got rid of the sulky on the back stretch and fin ished the mile on the dead run. Dur fee, though shaken, was not hurt McNair sent the horses back to the stable and called the next heat of the 2:15 pace. Alaric is bad one and is used to such tricks.
 They got away on the first score after the accident, Alaric leading at the pole in the first turn. But "Old Man" Charlie Durfee drove AItaloma ahead in the stretch and won easily Time 2:10A. Alaric was second.
 A ragged start. Alaric broke mad " on the outside of the first turn and was left away back. Durfee got him down. AltaIoma won after ] whipping finish with Lady Sunrise a neck behind. Time 2:12h.
 2:15 Pace
 After several bad starts they were off with Halo trailing. Sentinel took lead from Bradmont, the pole horse. They punched along the back stretch Sentinel was never headed and won easily. Time: 2:13.
 Bradmont won out of the press in the second heat with Sentinel second. Mac Leland competed to the stretch and then broke to last and was dis tanced, or very nearly so. Time: 2:1715.
 Sentinel came back and led string to the wire. Bradmont tired but gave him 9 short argument at the stretch. Time: 2:10...
 And again in the run off, Dick Sen tinel cleaned up by long lead with Bradmont second. Time 2:1OH
 Half Mile for Arizona Colts
 Vanity passed Blue Jay on the stretch and won the half mile by a nose, Passey rode the winner in B.
 Mile Dash
 Charles J. Harvey sprinted to vic tory in the mile dash. Bon Ton tore into the lead after a flock of bad starts but tired and went fourth at the wire. The time was 1:41%.
 It took all Judge McNair's stock of permissible passwords to get the jocks together The fact he had to start the race right in front of the stand probably heightened the wait
