Durfee Wins First Heat of Free-for-All Trot with Maiden Virginia Barnette. But Loses Other Two to Star Winter.

Seldom has there been seen such hot fought races as were on yesterdays final card at the state fair harness meet, and seldom were bunch of hors- es sent to such fast paces. Concluding this interrupted meeting, and topping off season of unparalleled activity, the horsemen well earned their satis- faction at good job well done.
 As predicted, the free for all pace produced the competition. Three clos CT finishes were never staged on the Arizona track, and three times even those in the quarter stretch had to wait until the judges announced the re- suits before knowing who was the win ner The sprints were exactly alike. In each case Don Pronto came in hold ing the pole by reason of the com- manding lead he had maintained dur ing the first part of the heat. On the last part of the stretch, came the com petition, ana had the races been for a hundred feet further, Pronto might never have been a winner. It was Jim Logan and Knight of Strathmore who pushed Durfee's entry in the first two heats In the final, however, Minnie Chimes got driven over in front of the bunch. and took the pole ahead of Pronto In the stretch, it was the ham, mer headed mare who forced the pace, and kept Durfee switching to win. Hawley's Knight was an almost even second, coming up on the outside to argue with Minnie during the last few feet.
 Virginia Barnette
 When Durfee entered Virginia Bar putting in a mare who had never started before, and possibly he wasn't tickled when the good little creature brought him down the stretch a good winner in the first heat. He was un- able to win the second two. which went to Star Winter. the favorite, with the little girl chasing him hard run down the show grounds each time. Barnette had an exhibition record of 2:09 which was cut down to 2:OsA in the first heat, but as she didn't win the race, this doesn't hold against her.
 Berry and Borden, the two millionaire horse owners raced a couple of eau tious heats, trying out their three year olds, Change and Alta Bernato. Berry turned the monkey" in PISA and 2:12A, winning both heats like a shooting fish.
 Mcdonald, driving Ellen Mae for Gurley won the 2:1S trot when there was only pr. D. C. to beat in that extra heat. After the two had eliminated everybody else by each winning a heat after Loe Blossom had been drawn they did a Imaginable mile in 2:25, the mare winning by a length. Winning the event gives Ellen mark of 2:14A, which was her time in the second heat.
 Booker T. was a surprise in the 2:20, winning the third heat clean, after hav- ing appeared in the back rank at fifth place while Kildare was romping home with the first two tries.
 Three Year Old Pace
 Berry drew out to a two length lead on the back stretch only to lose it on the last turn, but by a nice spurt regained the advantage in the last few yards.
 Borden hung on Berry's shoulder all the way to the stretch and they fought it to the line, Change taking
