GOLD | HELEN CHIMES WINS HAL N’KINNEY PURSE (Continued ¥From Page Ome.) toward the older and more experi- enced reinsmen, the game Celt in Hal Conners’ sulky maneuvered his steed out into the hand. wagon divi- sion, the grandstanders, occupants of the boxes, motorist-horse fans in the infield, “rail birds,” swipes,. et al., realizing that if Helen Chjmes’ pilot got the better of the argument, the mare would have to step the heat of her life. A burst of speed on the lower turn o|and the two leaders were neck to neck, Helen Chimes giving the best she had. : Shows Burst of Speed. n the tense brush down the home stretch Helen Chimes edged into the lead in one of her bursts of speed for which she is famous, hard-pushed by Hal Conners right up to and un- der the wire. In winning the heat the West Point (Neb.), mare had to cir- cle the oval in the fast time of 2:10 to keep Mr. Dennison’s horse from beating her. Captain Heir-At-Law paced out a safe _third a ain, with Tramp Fast flashing by the judge’s stand a little behind him. Hal Conners and the Canadian starter were tied for second money before the field was turned for the third and decldlng heat; it was there- fore plain that the big battle in the closing heat would be between these two pacers. .. Battle for Second. ‘ The six starters in the third heat— two- horses had been distanced in g{rtkus heats—got away in a bunch, elen Chimes in due time pulling out to the front, leavixg Hal Conners, Tramp Quick and abtain Heir-At- Law, battling for second coin. Keen-eyed horsemen saw that some- thing went amiss at the lower turn between the Dennison horse and the northern stallion. The sensational finish for second place showed Tramp Fast slightly in the lead, with Hal following. Conners and Captain Heir-at-Law It was then that Ronin leaped from his sulky and rushed into the judge’s sactum to lodge a business-like pro- test that Tramp Fast collided with his horse's bike on the turn and forced him (Hal Conners), from his position. Officials Allow Protest. The officials allowed the and gave Hal Conners second place in the heat and the race. ~Captain Heir-At-Law was given third place in the heat and Tramp Fast fourth, the latter gettin? third money in the fin- als and the former fourth.

ONE DAY.ONLY, SATURDAY, AUG. 26. A big purchase of splendid high- rotest ever been seen on half-mile tracks in this country. Closely fought—every heat—and drawing from one of the favorilcs——i Colleen—every ounce of pace she pos- sessed to worm out a victory, the race was a test -‘of what Great Western | Circuit horses can do on a-fast half- | mile oval of flawless condition, Colleen Takes Lead. Colleen forged to the van of the| field at the word “go” in the initial | heat, and remained there, leaying a | well known Nebraska gelding, Sir| Lain, and an Oklahoma animal, Wat- | tie McCluskey, to thrash it out for second place. The next horse under the wire after Colleen had paced home in 2:10)4 was Earlain's off- spring, Wattie .McCluskey and Col- lege Gent, a Canadian starter of fame in harness horsedom, registered sec- ond and third, respectively. The fastest time was made in the second heat, when the Oklahoma mare pushed Colleen so hard that the latter had to show a mile in 2:08% to win. The best Sir Lain could do in this and the following and final heat was to round out thirds; College Gent paced fourth in the last heat and won fourth money in the race. Fight Between Two. After the first heat the 2:30 trotting Cluve ..ubunes, vommercial club purse of $500, became a match race between a well known western gelding, Red Rico, and an Iowa stallion, Ignatius McGregor, the former winning in | straight heats. Red Rico trotted the mile in 2:17% in the first heat— mighty good time for the class. An added attraction on yesterday’s carad, and one that found much favor with the crowd, was an exhibition by Babe King, known in turf circles as the world’s fastest pacing pony. This sleek-looking little pony, owned by Miss Frances Dennison of Omaha, jogged around the oval and then stepped the last eighth of a mile in 16% seconds, Jimmy Ronin up. Officials Pease Crowd. The splendid work of the officials and the scoring and announcing of the events made a big hit with the good-sized crowd that assembled to see the second day's races on the occasion of the Great Western Cir- cuit's premier meeting in. Omaha. Starting Judge Oliver Lehman demonstrated that three high-class harness racing events can be well taken care of in an afternoon and still give the members of the crowd time enough to get back' to their homes for dinner. The races will start promptly at 2:30 o’clock. —_ THOMPSON-BELDEN &CO. w—The fashion Conter of the MiddleWest — Established 1886 The New Autumn Silks Here First As Usual__ Suggestive of the colorful fall are these rich, new fabrics of wine colcr, plum, garnet, greens, navys and many novelties of exceptional charm.
