Four Horses Trot for Stake Of el,000-Lady
Brisbin the Winner in Three Straight Heata


very interesting trot for sweepstakes of $1,000
came OF yesterday afternoon at the Fleetwood
Park, between James McKee's gray mare Lady
Brisoln, X. J. Anderson's bay gelding Keystone
Henry Casey's sorrel gelding Hickey and Jonn L.
Doy's brown gelding Ticonderoga Lady Brisbin
won the stake In three straight heats proving her
self most excellent mare and one or great turn
OF speed, with much improvement In perspective
She s young well formed, and her trotting action Ia
as perfect any horse on the turf. She
said to be Hambletonian, out Of o Star
mare. and was raised by Mr.. BIisbin, Of Orange
county. Keystone was second IN the race, and hs
distinguished himself by trottng half mile In
113h; but that performance seemed to take all the
trot out OF him for the remainder OF the heat
Hickey trotted about as well as was expected, but
he was In wrong company. The other horses wer
too smart for him. Still he performed better than
the other horse in the race 1conderoga, for he wa
unfortunately dstanced the first heat. This wa
purely accidental, as viii be seen when he troa
again. The horse struck himself soon after leaving
the score, and, breaking up, lost 80 much ground
that at the finish OF the heat he fell behind the DIS
lance flag But for the accident we think he would
have been second in the race. To test this sweep
stakes between Hickey, Keystone and Ticonderogs
might be got up the propretors OF the Fleetwood
adding purse sufficient to induce the owners Of
The following the details OF the trotting as Il
progressed
