First In 2:2O TrOt.

Doctor Kay, the bay honrse owned
and ridden by E. Prather, of Hum
boldt, Kan, won the Kansas Derby
from a field of five starters at the
Kansas Free Fair Monday afternoon.
He negotiated the mile and one-eighth
in 1859, which was good, but not con-
ceded to be very fast for the condition
of the track.
Doctor Kay got off to good start
and set the pace for the bunch the en-
tire route. Only in the last few jumps
did it look like his finishing position
was in doubt Boreas, gray horse owned
by Burt Warren, of Canton, Okla,
and ridden by Barnes, made brilliant
finish and if his mount had started to
ride a little earlier in the course the
result might have been different. The
way it looked at the finish. Boreas
would have taken Doctor Days meas
ure had he but had another eighth
mile to go.
Harry K. Thaw, the chestnut horse
owned by Burt Collier. of Fredonia
and ridden by Cans, ran in second
position until half way down the back
stretch in the second half. but at that
point the pace seemed a little too fast
for the distance and he gave way to
Boreas, who finished the only con-
tender to the winner. When the starter
sent them away theey were well
punched, with very little advantage to
any. Wild Fire, bay mare owned by
J. Parks. of st. Joseph and ridden by
Mcfarland, finished third.
AIIacoIa Wins 2:2O Trot.
Allacola. the bay mare owned by
J. C. Beatty, of Creston, Ia, and driven
. by B. johnson, won the 2:20 trot by
finishing first in all three heats. Pink
driven by w. M Mancrief, Dodge City,
took second money; e. r. N, bay
mare owned and driven by G. T. Neff,
Bethany. Mo-. third. and Oteola II.
owned by George McGreth, of Law
renee, and driven by Young, fourth.
In the first heat Pink Donna went
an easy mile and made a whirlwind
burst of speed in the home stretch,
but didn'ts start early enough to beat
E. r. N. for[second position ALA
cola apparently had plenty of speed
in reserve and was never called upon
by her teamster. Pink Donna was
contender for second position until the
three-quarter pole was reached, but
Allacola was never in doubt.
In the second heat Allacola set sail
with Pink Donna a contender all the
way. The chestnut mare apparently
had the speed over E. r. N, who fin
ished a close third. But in the third
heat the bay mare from Iowa demon
strated that she was easily the best OF
the field, winning the heat and the
race with ease.
The 2:20 pace was a full field OF
hobbled pace horses, every contestant
wearing the straps. They were pretty
well punched down the back stretch
in the first half. but the race in the
first heat was all the way between
Minnie Pinkerton, the bay mare
owned and driven by w. L. Hill. of
Topeka. and Spooks. the bay geldine
owned by G. S. Howe, Dodge City, anG
driven by Beck. and they finished as
named. Bob Riley. the bay geldine
owned and driven by w. L. Glouser.
of Dodge City, piled up on the las
turn, an accident that can be expect
ed, however in a field of hobbled
PAGERS. Minnie Pinkerton won the
second heat in jog, with evidently
plenty of speed to spare. The third
heat and the race easily belonged to
the Topeka horse.
