easy winner in three straight heats
over field cf five. Juan Faust, a
brown mare, by Tramp Fast, is owned
by o. Omondson of Beloit, Wis. jolly

In the free-for-all pace Hollywood

horse easily won over field Of three
in the first two heats. In tho third
Dean Jr. kept Hollywood Mac a short
distance behind Hanley b. to within
seventy-tive feet of the wire, when
he stepped out and won the heat
through quick and sensational driv-
ing. In the fourth heat Denas entry
easily won the heat and turf followers
were of the opinion that she would
win the race and upset the dope in at
least one of the days events, beating
favorite. But in the deciding heat,
after following in the rear to the sew
en-eighths marker, Frost whipped his
horse to win by only a nose.

Palatine, Ill, had an easy time in the
2;24 pace, the final race Of the day.

feat and proved the superior horse on
