tory in Second Heat of the
Fourth Number.
BY RAHBIRD.

GeI-aWay Qay at the midsummer
race meeting of the Mississippi
Valley Fair & Exposition brought
out the best field of horses in the
four races on the program that
faced the starter in the whole meet
ing.
Mrs. W. A. Deoust of Carlinville,
ILL.,, appeared in the fourth event
as the driver of Bonnie Hal. AL
though Mrs. Daoust has been driv-
ing races for a number Of years, it
is her first appearance in this To-
cality, and she was a decided hit
with the crowd, which gave her
many cheer when she beat Ban
ner NJ in the second heat of the
fourth race.
The greatest race on the after
Moons program was between the
four entries in the :12 trot. The
Triumph, great fayorite, won the
first two heats from Perrigo after
a whipping finish in the stretch.

third heat and was set back for
running and distanced, PerrigO

Anna Voleta and David Look. The

the race finished and allowed The
Triumph fourth money, even
though he had failed to beat the
flag in the third heat.
Rex Treverlyn proved to be the

heats in easy fashion, but could
not come back strong enough to
force old man Eldredge and his big

had no trouble in winning the last
three heats of the rs pace after
finishing fourth in the first heat
The whole field of horses were

Manager Bacon and his associ-
ates are to be complimented upon
the class of races furnished at this
program. Not one thing was left
undOne to make this one of the
Classiest race meetings ever held
in this section of the country. The
purses were big and the horses en-
tered were of the best. 1t is to be
hoped that weather conditions will
be different during the next meet
ing and the people of this locality
will turn out in greater numbers
to show their appreciation for the
officers efforts.
