eET-AWAY CARD
81 RAHBIRD.

Yesterday was . getaway day
with the horsemen 1t the Mississip-
pi Valley Fair and Exposition and
each stable that had mot won to
date was trying hard to get stake
enough to carry them to the next
time where they are sure they will
have much better results than It the
meeting just finished. During the
afternoon two or three light
sprinkles Of rain fell, but not
enough to make the track heavy
until after the last harness race
was finished. and then came q
downpour that left the track sea
of mud. Only the running race was
to be finished and, q little mud
makes no difference to most bang
tails.
Favorites Win.
Roma Dee and Cupanera were
favorites in the betting ring before
the horses went to the post, selling
at even money against the field.
Roma Dee tried hard in the firss
heat to win from the little bay
horse, but after that twas only a
race for second money between
Scion Gattan and Roma Dee.
After finishing in third position
in the first heat. w. C. H. drew up
lame and was withdrawn from the
race.
Maharba Takes Mark.
In the second race, Roy Owner
drove past the timers stand and
casually informed the timers he was
driving a at" trotter. After win
ming the third heat from Mightei-
lion, the timers hung-out the time
Of "14A" leaving Maharba a els"
trotter for next year. Afterwarl
Mr.. Owen had some very harsh
words-to say to the timers. He ac-
cused them of favoring other horses
during the meeting to the extent Of
two and three seconds and fSst he
should have been accorded the same
treatment.
Mr.. tombstone had two horses en-
tered Ia the second race Zom
Cairo was driven by Hen- Miers
and Vanity Second by MIR John
stone, succeeded in winning third
and fourth money.
Bonnie Dillon Lame.
Bonnie Dillon, the winner of last
Tuesdays slow trot, started in the
third race yesterday, but pulled up
lame and was withdrawn. After
her great showing in her last race
+, she was a favorite in the betting and
many were forced to pick Other
winners to recuperate their losses
after she was taken out.
/ Checkers, driven by Hammie AL
len, had no trouble in beating the
rest of the field in easy fashion. HI
could have stepped much faster
lmile had he have been driven our
at any time.
