FIRST Heal -Itwas late whom tho horseS mado their
appearance on tho track and considerable time aftsr
wards spent in getting ready for the approaching
event Al the second attempt to get of they got the
word with the marc on the inside and with a slight
lead As they approached the quarter pole the horse
took the lead, with the mare on break and passed II
about two lengths in advance. Going down the back
stretch the mare made another OF her characteristic
breaks and lost much ground that the horse although
under . waiting pull opened gap OF some six or
lengths between them After The mare recovered
from her mishap she commenced trottng pretty fast
and decreased the space somewhat by the time they
reached the half mile but OF course all hope OF her
winning the heat was a, end although she got
within . couple Of lengths OF the horse at the three
quarters where ne was oy no means trotslng a. any
without any material alteration Of position and the
horse led home winner OF the heat in 2:32.
Second Hedt.-They got of almost immediately at
pretty good gait As they merged from the turn and
tho quarter Dexter showed at the lead about
very fine and extremely fast, the mare hanging very
close TO him. although II shrewdy surmised that it
was in his power 10 have somewhat wdened the gap at
his discretion. They passed the half mile pole with
Dexter about length in 'front.' with somewhat nearer
approach Of the mare as they down the Flushing
in ssme way but as they swung around the turn
and 70 the h0mestretch Dexter appeared length in
advance and pressing steadily onward reached the
about half length ahead, winner Of the heat N PA

Away they went closely together and straning every
nerve rounded the turn with so little difference Of speed
that they reached the quarter pole the mares
close TO the TANKS Of Dexter The pace seemed to
hotter they progressed down tho backstretch
with every effort Of the horse he able pass
the half mile pole only about half length front On
the Flushing end she seemed determined to
that they passed the thrce-quarter pole the
horse barely led neck and shoulders. Round.
the turn the inside, however, Dexter led length
the homestretch, steady and telling pace. while
the mare being again rallied for another effort did her
utmost to ovortake him. After one Of her finest bursts
OF speed failed reach before crossed the
score but got close that he only the heat by
neck ana shoulder in 2:28
