Taylor's br. M, Sue Mundy. 3:1l4.
In this match there was some very
handsome trotting by Morgan, Tangle
foot, Ellen Douglas, Mameluke, and
Shakespeare. Sue Mundy and Lucy
broke horribly, and ran more than
they trotted, though both showed fine
ability when they came down to their
work. e.n
Mameluke and Ellen Douglas went
together and did splendid trotting.
The drivers become excited and went
to beating each other to the score,
forgetting the money, and came in un-
| der time.
Next came Ring H H, Glass II, pre-
MUM $50-trotting to buggies, own
ers to drive; best two miles in three.

This match displayed not only
splendid trotting but excellent driv-
ing. Lucy, as she had done before
and continued to do all day, broke
badly and could not be got down to
her work. Veile's Morgan did his
work most beautifully. scarcely max
ing a skip in either hea The Doug

brought down with CELEBRITY. and won
two straight heats handsomely. Name
eluke did fine trotting, but broke
more than the mare, and barely lost
by length of horse and buggy. The
time made by each horse was as fol-
lews: Helen Douglas, 2;5Sa, 3 90;
Mameluke, 3:029, 3:01f; Nor

throughout, doing square and honest
work. Shakespeare made terrific jumps

When he came down, to his work, his
giant stride won the admiration of all
spectators. In the second heat D. p.
Bissel drove, but he behaved rather
worse than better. With careful
training he will become dangerous

There were one or two slight dis
turbances on the grounds during the
day, but nothing serious occurred. IF

be maintained. To-day will be one
