NINTH DAY. 



The first race was the stallion trot, with Guy Wilkes, Antevolo, and 

 Como as starters. There was no betting. 



First Heat — Guy Wilkes led around the turn, and at the quarter was 

 two lengths ahead of Antevolo, Como three lengths further back. At the 

 three-eighths mark Guy Wilkes broke, and Antevolo showed in front for a 

 few strides, but Guy Wilkes came on, and at the half was again in front. 

 In the stretch both were trotting fast, but at the distance post Antevolo 

 broke, and Guy Wilkes jogged to the wire ahead, Antevolo second, Como 

 distanced. Time, 2:20i 



Second Heat — Guy Wilkes drew away on the turn, and the two trotted 

 the mile with a length of daylight between them. At the head of the 

 stretch Antevolo broke, but Guy Wilkes slowed up, and the relative posi- 

 tions were resumed and held to the score. Time, 2:20. 



Third Heat — At the start both broke, Guy Wilkes settling first, and 

 leading to the quarter in 35 seconds by two lengths. At the back quarter 

 Guy Wilkes was urged, but made a break. He did not gain or lose dis- 

 tance, but ran faster and further than he usually does on his breaks. At 

 the half, in 1:08^, he was five lengths to the fore. In the stretch Antevolo 

 closed to three lengths, and in that position they passed the score. Time, 

 2:17f . The official time of Antevolo was 2:19.

The second race was a special for Sister and Allan Roy, the last named 

 at the poll. In the betting it was twenty to one in favor of Sister. 



First Heat — Allan Roy was away first, and at the quarter was the leader 

 by a length and a half. He increased his lead to two lengths in the next 

 furlong, but near the half made a skip that let Sister close the gap. Around 

 the turn and well in the stretch they went without change, but at the 100- 

 yard mark Allan Roy broke, and Sister beat him to the wire by two lengths. 

 Time, 2:23f
