| More than usual interest is being
manifested by horse racing fans in
the driving meet to be held at EXPOSE
ton park tomorrow afternoon. Indi-
cations are that the time will be IN
usually fast, as the warm weather has
been favorable to developing speed in
the equines in training at the track.
7 Several watches held by spectators
along the track caught one of the green
PAGERS that will start in the 1T pace
at mile in 10 and 1514. The driver
of this sensational young horse re-
fused to give out the exact time that
his watch showed, but admitted it was
the tastes mile any horse from his
training stable had worked and said
he thought that was the track record
for the present season. With young
green horses going miles like this it
will be seen that the horsemen have
something good on tap for the lovers
of the horse racing game. Notwith-

Work Fast Miles.
The trotlers are working miles in
better than 30 and all of them that
will start are ready. now to go away to
the races. If Honor's Princess goes a
good race here she will be shipped at
once to Waverly, Iowa, to start down
through the Cedar Valley circuit. Mike
Donnelly will be here with Keeler's
Red Clarence and if he is up to his
usual form they will all have to go
fast mile to beat him.
The owner of one of the trotterS
that will start in the free-for-all was
at the track on workout day and in
sisted that he work his horse the cool |
ing out mile. The horse had a pace |
maker and breezed away from the wire |
and to the first half in :09 and home |
in :19A. The driver owner had all |
the race driving he wanted then. His |
face was chalky and he gave the train
err to understand he would be satisfied
to own the horse in the future and hire
some one else to drive him.
1t is rumored that an out-of-town
horse will be here for the races that
took a mark near 10 over the Great
Western circuit last year. He has been
in training at a nearby town this
spring and is coming in here to get a
little racing experience before going
away to the races.
