1st. Heat. Charlotte B. acting badly on the rall, finally lost it and the field scored by Millie Kalmuck getting away on the sixth score. Major Bowes had the rail going s- round the first turn but lost it to San Ton lflttlng into the backside As they went up the stretch the first time it was San Ton. Major Bcwes. Martindell, Albert E. Grat- tan, all bunched, with Millie Kal- muck and Charlotte 3., far back. ‘There was no change as flashed by the stands the first time and for the balance of the‘ wheat San Ton made every post s. winning one. As the field hit the three- quarters pole Albert E. Grattan started to move up fast going into third place at the eighth P016- There was no catching San Ton however, who won by a length and a half over Major Bowes in 2.09. Albert E. Grattan finished at Ma- jor Bowes’ pad with Martindell fourth. Millie Kolmuck was fifth while Charlotte B. was distanced never really settling down to the pace.

2nd. Heat: Thrills were begin- nlng to pile up as Millie Kalmuck captured the heat after a sensa- tional duel with San Ton the en- tlro mile and in so doing lowered

Highlighted by the big free-for- all today's racing card promises be even more sensational than the two days already gone into hia- wry. There are four classes sched- uled and in each one again 1t is going to be a mighty rough Job w pick the winner. In seven classes y raced only three favorites have managed to come through and today's meet. promlfes to live up to the ones that have pre- ceded it both for fast times and unexpected DizgPBDiIlKS, Classes on e card for today are the four year old futlu-ity, di- visions A and B of 2.10 trot and pace and the free-for-all.

The Four-Yeflr-Old Futurity has three starter; and you can take your pick of them. There is Mal-aar- et Jean that good pacer owned by Andrew Perry; George Mac. George McIntyre! fast trotter and Ads. Worthy owned by Hugh. Fraser. All three have already proven them- selves and although there are but three entries fans can expect some very close finishes as the field takes the word.

Division A of the 2:19 trot and pace has five event matched start- ers with not one s ending out. from the other. Billy Ice will go away on the pole and 1f reports are cor- rect might prove very hard to head. Peter at Court a. real sacd one lvlll be watched closely Flora Direct will also beer plenty of watching while Hal Britten that big trotter will likely be installed as the favorite but the nlanner in which this meet is going that. will not mean a thing. Winding up the five is Willard Kelly's good pacer Bonnie scott who at the present time is right at her best form and is quite cap- able o! giving the field a lot o! trouble

The feature event of the meeting the free-for-all trot and pace has six of the most evenly matched horses ever to take art in a free- for-all here with no one of them laying over the field. Bedford Grat- tan an old firformer has very of- ten caused t biggest kind of up- set. Rainey G. Henley 1f he gets away on high is just as fast as any in the field. All Grattan whoie speed is well known will be out to avenge his defeat of Tuesday; Dudey Patch who went this track in 2.0a 1-2 last year promises w be right in the thick of things again today.
