Tryon Co. 609-6JI MARKET STREET J0-J2 NO. 6th STREET PHILADELPHIA High Grade Guns and Rifles Fishing Tackle Athletic Goods Camping Goods Clothing Sweaters Cutlery Established 1811 Evenly balanced fields and closely eon tested events marked the running of the Jockey Club's program on New Year's Day, which was attended by the largest crowd of the season. One of those typical Pinehurst days prevailed; the track was in excellent condition and the large crowd was treated to some of the best racing that has been witnessed here in some time. In two of the events the finishes were so close that the winners could not be determined until the of ficial numbers had been hung out. The feature event of the day was the seven-furlong sprint which was won by Nat Hurd's consistent Uncle Sand after a hard battle with Mary G. from the stable of F. L. Stevens. Only four horses faced the starter in this event. Mary G. went to the post with the glory of having defeated Jo Jo the week be fore, and all eyes were eager to see what account she would give of herself in a field with Uncle Sand. When the barrier was sprung Mary G. shot to the front with her usual burst of speed, and made the first turn a full length in' front of High Olympus. Uncle Sand, always a slow beginner, was trailing along in last place. Little change was made in the running until the back stretch was reached where Uncle Sand moved up stoutly, and, after disposing of Machese, set sail for the leaders. High Olympus had found the pace a trifle too stiff and easily succumbed to Uncle Sand's rush. Turning for home, the Hurd sprinter had gotten on even terms with the leader, and from then on it was a gruelling test of stamina, Uncle Sand finally gain ing the decision by a short margin. While Mary G. was defeated, she showed con clusively that she is fast and game and that it takes a good horse to beat her. Mike Kelly, from the stable of G. Ballard and driven by his owner, started the afternoon's festivities by accounting for the Class A. Trot, the first race on the program, in successive heats. Mc Alcryon was second and Bird Song third. The other harness event of -the day went to Bingen Gentry, who won rather handily over Little Lady and Jones Gentry. The latter pair divided second and third money as a result of each finishing second and third in the two heats. The five and half furlong dash for sprinters over the shorter distance went to Queen of the Spa after a hard fought drive with Troben. As the race was run, it is very probable that Troben was the best horse, for his rider apparently did not see the winner coming up behind and made no effort to ride out his mount. Twenty yards from the finish line Troben looked a certain winner, but Queen of the Spa was coming with a terrific burst of speed and overhauled the leader in the last jump. The finish was so close that no one was able to tell who won until the judge's announcement had been made. Wasseon, fast but faint-hearted, was the one to cut out most of her running. He sailed out to a lead of a half dozen lengths, but after the half mile had been run he was all in and dropped back to second place. Troben then took the lead and appeared a certain winner, but Queen of the Spa, who had been running from one side of the track to the other, finally got straightened out, and with a high turn of speed in the last quarter overhauled Troben as the pair flashed under the wire. The steeple chase event, which brought down the curtain for the day, was an evenly matched affair over the short six jump course, and brought together an evenly matched field of three starters. Fort Houston and His Nibbs alternated in holding the lead, and it was not until the last jump had been reached that any perceptible change was made in the run ning. Fort Houston was the best in taking the jumps, but His Nibbs had more speed on the flat. The pair reached the last hurdle closely lapped, but His Nibbs lost ground in taking the jump which cost him the race. Russian Pin ion was close up throughout, but could never overtake the leaders.
