tators. The day was perfect and
the entertainment onered was Inc
best that money can obtain.
The IA trot with total purse OF
$3.50, drew an attractive field OF
race horses, many OF which nave
been racing all season IN the Grahd
Circuit previous to this meeting.
Dick Mcmahon was forced TO race
the whole field, one at d time, LOT
the full seven meats, with SIS Blhg'
before he could win the necessary
three heats.
Mrs. Daoust, still a great favo-
rite with the crowd, had no trouble
in putting her horse, Wilbur III
rect, out IN front and winning III
straight heats with plenty to spare
Great Excitement, driven by NC
Mahon, made a desperate try in the
second and third heats, but II
seems each time he had started TOO
late to make his drive and was
beaten only by inches. After mn
ishing the first and second heats
up close, Don Axtien could not get
settled in the third heat and was
distanced.
Johnny Brown, a rank outsider
from Omaha, stepped out and won
the % pace in straight, and did II
in easy fashion Beautiful Flame,
driven by George Spencer from
Libertyville, H., tried hard in the
last two heats to head the brown
gelding, but was unable to get out
ahead. He IS one of the best pac-
ers seen at this meeting and seems
to be a perfect racing machine.
Captain Mosby, owned by Barton
Bros, and driven by Chef Kelly OF
West Liberty, was nosed out in the
first heat of the Is trOt and came
back and won the next three heats.
The Captain was great faVorlte
with the crowd, who were all quite
anxious to see him win.
Ten horses went to the post in
the 5-furlong dash, but had trouble
at the barrier, going away III two
different punches. Five horses beat
the barrier and made a pretty race,
which the judges declared no heat
ard ordered a new start Hi
Mandy, owned by Mr.. Smell of
Quincy, was finally declared a win
ner, after the second bunch had
been sent away.
Samuel Harris of Plymouth, who
has had phenomenal success in rae
ing Axtien and colts by AXtlen, and
who is a favorite at the Davenport
track was unfortunate in having
all three of his entrants in yester-
DAYS. races, distanced. Mr.. Tull1s
of Peoria has also started three
horses in the past two days and
each one has failed to beat the flag.
