Losing One Heat.
HAS OUTSIDER IN OTHER

CLEVELAND. July 22.-After a week OF
old Pop Geers came with a
rush at North Randall this afternoon,
driving In two OF the four races and In
each plotting his trotter to a we'll
merited victory. In both he drove races
Of the kind that have mad his name
famous throughout the horse world.
Pops first chance came in the Tavern
Steak feature, which Is the first race
to be held under the conditions which
probably will govern all stake events
OF the 1916 Grand Circuit. Pop had
the mount behind The Guide. his own
trotter. 1t was Geers's first appearance
in the big local classic n he celebrated
by taking the second and third heats.

Ben White. landed first place in a rous-
ing finish with Miss Directed. trotting
the mile In 2 :O6A. a new record for the
race.
II was a great race. Fourteen
starters entered. Five were dropped
after the first heat. but the spectacle
OF those fourteen rushing away In the
opening heat will be remembered ong
The Emo appeared to have the first heat
at his mercy when he choked down m
went tumbling over the track.
Geers's second victory came in the
. II trot. when he gave the talent a
slap by winning with st. Frisco. This
race was n hummer, but was married
by the breaking down of the favorite.
STAFFORD, owned by J. V. Morris OF his
city.
STAFFORD was the heavy ~favorite in
the auctions and In the first two heats
showed the form which caused him to
be hailed as the king Of the twice
arounds I'm 1913. In the third heat.
however. he finished nth, lame and un-
able to continue the battle.
st. Frisco won the first heat and
STAFFORD the second. Then came the
biggest surprise OF the day. The Proof.
figured as a rank outsider. came home
In "a rush and sneaking In on the rail
nailed the heat by M eyelash. When
only he and st. Frisco started in the
third heat. Geers laid in behind and
then won out with a regular old fash
toned Geers drive. The summaries:

TO ASSIST NEGROES
Pollard's Opinion As tn Use of Fair
Grounds for Exposition TX

II Is probable that City Attorney
Pollard will return TO the Admins
trative Board today his opinion az
10 the right OF the Virginia State Fair
Association to permit the Use OF the
fair grounds by the Colored Industrial
Association for big exposition dur
ing the month Of July.
The Fair Association several days
ago requested the Administrative Board
to remove the city carts and mules
now quartcred at the fair grounds. by
June IS, 30 that the colored associa-
ton might proceed with its arrange
nents fer the proposed exposition.
The request was on motion Of Com
missioner H!rschbeyg. referred 10 the
city attorney for an opinion
The Federal Government has appro-
priated Sb5. 600 toward the expenses
Of the exposition. a request for sfo.-
900 is now before the Council Commit
.ee on Finance. and II is likely that
at least a part Of that sum may be
appropriated.
Giles r. Jackson, head OF the move
ment. said the various committees
throughout the country had been
working on tho details OF the expo
sition for months. and that the country
would he surprised when the gates Of
the exposition grounds are thrown
open TO see what had been done by
the negro in the past fifty years.
