Show RACES AT . THE FAIR ) Big Crt . gramme and Plenty of 1 1 Enthusiasm; " I , t "YyWarger crowd, a better programme, I 1I.0T enthusiasm. That tells the story Ji jStVesterday's races at the fair " 1 grounds. Speed Director "Curtis .'kept J I 'his promise to eliminate the long and - tedious waits between events and this r dldMatTch toward making things "run i smooth. While the raees were not fast I in dbmparison with Saratoga, Latonia, andV that kind, yet there was enough 1 of speed te lend interest. . One of the ' races was such a palpable, 'frame up" 1 that even a blind matt would have ob- I served It. - , In the 3:00 trot and 'pace. Lander, piloted pi-loted by Johnnie McCoy, captured the wo first heats. r He fused out, how-Yeer, how-Yeer, when it came to the finish in the . y (third and failed to deliver the goods, j Coreanton showed, the hard-laboring I Lander- his heels ' and went ever the i tape - winner . by & good half length. If Coreanton was the only entry who did il not show the effects of the three heats; v he won the next two handily, the last . in 2:34, very slow, but still fast enough to leave the field. Best Event of Day. The four-and-a-half furlongs event was by odds the best of the day. It took some me to get the .five starters away, but-each -was on his mettle and ' out for. all there was in sight. ' The t entire bunch sailed around the course like a fleet of pleasure boats and it - took close figuring to decide that Adle ) D was winner with Little Phil a close' second. Nothing but the hardest kind of work on. the part of his Jockey. : Mooney, prevented Los Ahgeleno, the ' favorite, from winning. The big horse wanted to win and did his best de-jf de-jf 3lte the pulling of Jockey Mooney all rhe way down the-backs t retch. This was one Of the rankest deals In the f way of a frame up ever attempted In I Salt Lake. It occurred in the three- i. quarter mile dash. The Judges lost no time in declaring all bets off. Mr. Mooney has a. strong arm; it would 1 j make its mark- In a life-saving boat crew, where endurance and strength are needed. , The quarter-mile dash was not run. Instead Little Dutch and Pat L were, , matched for two and a half furlongs. ' LittleDutch was lucky in getting away two lengths ahead . of his competitor - and though the latter cut the lead dowA to one length the distance was nefmsufflclent to eliminate all the daylight day-light before the .-: string was reached. Little t Dutch won by a length. The summary follows: I Summary of Races. I 90 trot and pace- Horse and Owner Place.- ' Ooreanton Evans Bros. 6 3 111 Ladder W. U Wilding j.l 1 1 3 3 Teaser C H.
