"Flossie B" Wins!

In one of the best horse races ever
held in this vicinity, Homer Bailey's
"Flossie b. with Bill McKahan up,
won from "Silk Rags" driven by
his owner, John Rupert, of Hudson,
this evening at the River Falls Driv-
ing association track.
"Silk Rags" took the first heat by
half length. The time, 1908, is
fastest ever made on this track. The
Hudson horse got away to a two
length lead for the second heat, and
held it to the home stretch, when
the mare closed in and came under
the wire a scant nose ahead. In the
final heat Rupert made desperate
effort to gain the pole at the first
turn, nearly locking wheels, but
McKahan held "Flossie" to the line
and gradually forged ahead until at
the finish the mare was leading by
three full lengths, breezing in an
easy winner.
The 2:30 race was won by "Col.
Ellsworth" DR.. Mack up, in three
straight heats. Walter O. B. second,
Will Allen up.
George Curriers' Lady Wilkes
won three out of four heats from
Homer Bailey's "Moccasin.'' The
