GOOD EVENTS WEDNESDAY
Fast Track, Big Crowd and Fast Horses
Complete Ideal Afternoon.


Complete Ideal Afternoon.
With real sunshiny weather clear
and warm and a fast track, thanks to
the fine work of the officials, the races
Wednesday afternoon were run under
ideal conditions. The largest crowd
of the week were present to witness
| the events. Three thousand people
went to the post for the first heat of
the 2:11 pace and fully another six
hundred paid admissions before the
days sport ended.
The Topeka Insurance and Profess
sionaI Stake of $1,000 went to Jim B,
a wonderful horse owned by ]. B. Rey-
| nolds of Kansas City The last and
1 final heat was close all the way and in
! doubt until the last minute of the
race The winning horse came from
| behind in a spectacular finish. Lady
| Fuller was second, third money went
! to Emelys Axey and Falmont Flash
I was fourth.
To decide the 2:27 trot It was ne
cessary to run five heats before win
ner could be determined. Amhurst,
/ belonging to r. B. Fegan of Junction
| City, finished first, Jack Flash break
| ing several times was given second
place in spite of the protest w. T.
| Harris whose horse finished third.
| Harris claimed that Jack Flash broke
| more than the number of allowed
| judges still said that Willie Chimes
| was to be given third place only.
| After a number of false starts the
! one mile running race was on and all
/ of the horses were closely punched
| the first time around the track but
coming into the stretch Milton Robes
pulled away and across the line in
front of the field This horse is
| owned by ]. Stevens of Oklahoma City.
| Alwick was second and Beulah Wick
| third.
The six furlong event, the last race
| OF the day was a close one and
| brought the crowd to their feet as the
/ horses came into the stretch riding
neck and neck with the two leading
| jockeys using their whips to get more
| speed out Of the mounts Orbicula-
| ton, owned by w. Cooper Of Arcadia,
| second, Still Pool the St Joseph horse
| doped by the smart boys as the win
ner, was third. Jack the Sailor fin
| ished fourth.
