Staging a splendid rally to win the
last two heats, High Patch, sorrel
beauty, o first money last evening
in the thrilling 2:11 pace, the first
event on the great harness race pro-
gram of the Bismarck Fair and Race
meet.
The good sized crowd Of spectators
In the grandstand shouted with glee
as the six horses came gliding down
the home stretch, with three of them,
High Patch, Baron Jr., and Billy Mac
almost staging a blanket finish.
Though the time was slower, the
third heat was by far the most pleas
ing to all concerned. Passing the
grandstand after the first half mile,
the six gallant animals were clus-
tered as close as physically possible
with safety regarded.
Lead All The Way
High Patch jumped to an early lead,
having started from the pole, and
kept it to the finish, despite noble
final thursts by both Baron Jr., the
bad boy" at the start Of the first
heat, and Billy Mac, the winner Of the
first heat, who finished second and
third respectively.
Time in the first race of the sea-
son was remarkable for this time Of
the year, the first two heats being
paced in all and the third one-half
second slower.
Baron Jr., ultimate third place win
ner, was almost uncomfortable at the
start of the first heat, and gave
Starter Frank j. Weyel a great deal
Of trouble in getting the heat on its
way and delayed the start several
minutes. But the performance Of
fered in those three brilliant heats
more than compensated for the
pranks Of the spirited animal.
A 81 of an inch rain early yester-
day morning made the track a trifle
heavy and rough, but a warm sun
this morning promised a lightning
fast track for races today and this
evening, and-barring further rain
for the rest of the race meet tOmor-
row and Saturday.
Confusion prevailed at the start of
the running race, with one runaway"
horse t~raversing a mile before his
jockey could bring him to a halt and
get him off the track that the horses
at the post might get away.
Over eager jockeys, as wen as
horses, made things tough for Start
er Weyel, and the animals galloped
off raggedly several times before MI.
Weyel sent them away.
Crowd With Wing BOY
The crowd was with one young
youth, Shorty Cook, who rode his
saddle horse so miles yesterday to
find some real fast horses to beat"
Despite the long ride. Shorty was
NOAA4ANC4AI lad 4lO1CC WOulO OCdC CQo
fastest on the track, because he has
beaten all the horses around Wing"
just to thrill the crowd, Shorty
sent his steed before the grandstand
at . dead gallop several times. and
he was cheered huskily.
But when the race began, Shorty
and his mount were left far to the
rear in q short time. and the disap-
pointed Wing youth failed to bring
his horse before the grandstand
again.
Sarah M. led most Of the way and
was winner by mt length over The
Fox, who made . gallant final attempt
on the home stretch.
The 2:24 pace or trot for North Da-
kota owned horses, scheduled for last
evening. was postponed until Friday
evening. Mrs. G. K. Bryan, secretary
ana manager OF the Fair, will drive
