THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK 1 11 1111 !! yxi j horses was demonstrated on the last round. Equally perfect over the bar riers, steady as machinery, they seemed, and doubtless are, perfectly matched for the shorter distance. But on the long course the further element of endurance changed the aspect of the run. Stub bornly, inevitably) the Little Horn took up the pace on the last quarter, and showed a stamina to which the great Nibbs' hurdler could not respond. Turn ing into the stretch, the picture of Vic tory, he sailed over his last jump and under the wire, fresh as a daisy, and without a peer on the track. O YOU MOLLY O And now came Mrs. P. C. Thomas, and Nat Hurd and G. N. Nibbs, each with the best their vaunted stables could pro duce, to settle many a vexed question, and to pit their colors in the arena to the tune of two hundred and fifty dol lars. Call held the fretful Kinder Lou at the post for Hurd, tipping the scales at 118 pounds. This gave him a ten pound advantage over the redoubtable Molly O, pride of the. house of Nibbs, and set him back seven pounds as against Mrs. Thomas' Little Pop, mounted by that darling of the humor ists of the paddock, Butter, the Bantam black jockey. There is no longer any debate. The time was very fast, and the pace terrific. But the debate over. By the time the tearing horses had reached the grand stand the first time around the order of excellence had been established. Molly O led, and she led in a style that gave -others no hopo. Kinder Lou had discarded the Little Pop not more than a length or two but enough in such wise that he began his last run with his eye on the leader, and no signs of fear from behind. And so they finished. This should be added. That undoubtedly Butter had overshot his mark a little, and so to some small degree prejudiced his chances. He was in too big a hurry at the wrong time. He set off to take the lead as if he was going 100 yards, and got it in most spectacular and inspiring manner. But with a waste of steam that told heavily in the last stages of the contest. HAIL DIXIE Mindful of days gone by Ed A has been lifting the money and the glory in the trotting arena, Dr .W. H. James made him a little challenge, which was accepted, and brought out his favorite trotter Dixie Alcantara for a match against the Shepard stables. And here again the matter was settled. Dixie went into the circle like the shade of Nancy Hanks and in both heats rolled home under full sail, in perfect form, a substantial winner. The time reveals the reason. The half was covered in I.O714 without a flicker. redfield's ride Riding Hatto, with whom he appar ently had a perfect understanding, young Redfield astonished the stable by beating out the formidable Travellor for first place in the dash for the Guests purse. Chapman on Sam made a plucky run for it, but couldn't quite hold the leaders. The closest race of the day was the 412 furlong running event. It reminded the old timers of the Harvard-Yale Track meet in '98. It wasn't by any means over when the horses crossed the line, and the contestants returned to shelter. The question, of who won, still remained. Those who habitually put their money on their sense of humor, and back Butter whatever he rides, wre just as certain that McCall's Fort Johnson won, as the rest of the gang were that Thomas' Lucille, ridden in masterly style by 'Lasses, was one whis per ahead. Hardy was unquestionably behind. The conflab in the judges stand settled the matter in favor of Fort Johnson. Let us say that he won by an ell. Nobody still living knows how much that is. Trying out the trotting horses with a carefully selected field of the leaders quartered here this Winter, J. L. King scored a distinct triumph with his beau tiful little Brown mare Mabel Worth. In both heats she went to the fore like a sprinter, starting for home with the very pistol. Her supremacy was only seriously challenged by Crystalite, W. W. Gill's entry, driven by Predmore. Pred more's tactics in both races was tho same, and in each case supplied the stand with a thrill, and showed that there was stuff in the trotter. He held j back until they turned the stretch, and then turned loose for further orders. In' both cases he overhauled the mare at an j alarming rate, and just missed his reward ' by a few feet. Another race between I these two should prove interesting. j C. E. Glass' Young Billiken outran Reynolds' Kate for third place with the same regularity. ' The afternoon was enlivened as usual , by the circus stunts by the guests, in which Miss Sugg of Southern Pines fig ured chiefly in some fancy balancing j work en route to a difficult destination j with the inevitable egg. Uncle Joe con descended to revert to his lumbering days and gave a lesson in tree felling ' that will last the local and lazy Ethio pian amateurs a long time to come. ! Uncle Joe cuts forest trees as you and , I might cut hyacinths for an afternoon tea. C1om tlie Conm Mr. and Mrs. Parker W.
