she did in the second heat. The
Patch mare lost several lengths, be-
ing passed by the field She gradu-
ally closed the gap until the last

ing with Justo Belle, who had held
the lead. Nettie found the clip too
fast and had to pass the heat TO

Vice Crystal Added starter.
Only three horses started in the
free-for-all trotting pace-1n Tor

class. Vice Crystal and Sprinting
Blaise went side by side for the first
quarter; at this point they broke and
Vice Crystal squared away f1rsti
Sprinting Blaise settled and paced
fast, but broke again and lost too
much ground to win. Vice crystal
won the heat by dozen lengths, but
was set back for making break
This was a very unjust decision. be-
cause In for Luck and Sprinting
Rlaise were not even contenders for
the heat. In the next heat Sprinting
Blaise and Vice Crystal again went
the quarter side by side. Vice Crystal
broke. Blaise then won the heat,
In the third heat Vice Crystal broke
continually and Sprinting Blaise had
no trouble winning the heat. Accord
ing TO the way Sprinting Blai5e went
IN the first heat and Vice Crystal in
the third heat, 1t looks as though they
would make two good hoppled PAGERS.

of the day were DR.. p, Kid Kelly,
Janey B. and Mahlon Wilkes. Janey
b. drew the pole and got away good
and led the field to the three-quar-
ter pole, where she tired and was
p beaten to the wire by half length
by DIR. p, with Kid Kelly third and
Mahlon wilkes, who was acting bad
ly, a good fourth. In the second heat
DR.. P. led to the Ave. eighths pole,
where he broke and Kid Kelly passed
him. Kid Kelly led the rest of the
mile. DR.. P. finished strong second,
with Janey B. third and Mahlon

fashion by Kid Kelly; he was never
headed. DR.. P. was second again.
