THE TROTTING.

but the weather was Of that genial nature that
induces either man or beast to do his best. The
air chilly and the attendants at the course had
to take shelter frOm Its influence behind every
available place. The horses, after warming up
spurt had be closely blanketed the instant they
stopped and IL required too much attention to man
and horse to make things pleasant. Three trots
were on the card the first being match for $500,
mile heats best three In five, under the saddle, be-
tween John Murphy's bay geldng G. w.
Patterson and G. s. Green's chestnut gelding Wal
lace. The latter came on the track quite
stiY and unsteady, and after the first heat, in
which he was beaten badly, at the request OF his
rider and owner he was withdrawn from the second
heat, and that settled the business. The second
trot was for $780, for horses that had never beaten
2:25, for which there were ten starters. These
were J. L. Doty's bay gelding Sensation, W. II.
Harris0n's sorrel mare Susie, Dan Mace's gray geld

Prince, FL. Hinman's gray gelding Gray Mack, F.

Lottery. j. J. Bowen's gray mare Sea Foam and NJ
M. G0odin's brown mare Maud Crown Prince was
the favorite in majority OF the pool sales made but
when he was second choice Lady Maud sold for frst
and the reason why the young flly Maud sold 80
well was on account Of her match race with Lucille
Goddust last week, when she trotted the third and
fourth heats in 2:22A each; but the betters lost
sight Of the youth OF the ny and the nervousness
consequent to young horse in 80 large crowd as
had to come to the score on this occasion. When
she trotted her match with Lucille Golddust she
broke several times in the first two heats but
In the third and fourth she became more
steady and won the race. Yesterday, however,
she acted badly and was distanced the first heat.
The favOrite too, was beaten, and the horse Sem
sation that sold for third choice, scored the vic
to have driver in future that the public can have
confidence In at the beginning OF the race, and not
play the thingo as It was done at Goshen and at
Prospect Park yesterday. At the former place the
driver OF Crown Prince staggered around the track
start making every person who Eaw him believe
he was "careess, and he then drove three heats,
out and by ne BOs St was fhsn his paea
when he won the race easily. Yesterday The
old driver y Crown Prince played the same game
OF inc0mpctency by falling down the stairs in the
steady condition. and finally getting in the sulky
to drive, so that the betters would lay their money
against him. This ruse had the effect Of making
Maud the fayorite, but for moment only for soon
Billy Borst was seen making Or the judges stand
to be weighed. He quickly doned his drab hat, his

the poolbox and crown Prince became
the favorite over any house in the race. Many, no
and to the many we wiz try ana enighten them by
| saying that the time made by the winner was lar
ana that there is no doubt that Sensation can beat
him every time they meet.
The third trot was for threeyear.olds, for purse
and stake. For this there were originally eighteen
entries, consisting of Morgan l. Motifs bay colt, by

distanced Highland King the first heat, making the
is no doubt that had Prospero a competitor
to force him along he would have made the
his 2:331s yesterday. with heavy suky and his
driver, Carl s. Burr, weighing over two hundred
pounds-fity pounds more than the colt was re-
quired to carry-is fair acknowledgment
that 2:3o can be beaten whenever required,
no inclination to break. He is as black as raven,
except two white heels behind, with small star
dam by Harry Clay, grand dam by Lexington and
is fifteen hands and an inch and hall high. He
will grow into large, graceful and mighty trotter,
II cared for rightly. 1t will be well for the horse il
Mr.. Backman would keep him for year or two.
The following are the details OF the trotting as 1t
progressed
The First TrOt.
First Heat-Wallace broke up twice soon after
the word was given and G. w. Patterson led away
to the quarter pole twenty lengths in thirty nine
and half seconds, and at the na-mile pole was
still further in advance OF the sorrel geding. As
Patterson passed the half mile pole in 1:1ss he
100 yards IN front OF the other, and then jogging
home, he won the heat by fifty yards in 2:44a.
When the horses were called for the second heat
Mr.. Greene applied to the judges to withdraw Wal
lace, as 1t was evident that he was more stilIened
up than before the start, and they granted his ap
peal, ending the tr0t.
