FLEETWOOD PARK.
Two Well.COntested Trots-Lndy Byron
and Tom Wonder the Winners.

Two Mathematical Trots-Lndy Byron
and Tom Wonder the Winners.
Two very interesting trOts came of yesterday at
Fleetwood Park A third was announced, but
being match, forfeit was paid by the owner OF
one of the intended contestants. The first event
was for purse of 800, in which there were seven
entries and five starters, the latter being Casey's
black mare Lady Byron, Murphys sorrel mare
Fanny, Harbeck, Jr.s chestnut mare Saratoga,
Roden's bay gelding Magma Charta and Pawling's
gray mare Lady Brown. For the limited attend
ance the betting was very spirited Lady Brown
was the favorite before the first heat but subse
quently Lady Byron was the choice and during the
race. Because Of its pecuarties one or two OF the
others sold for first money. After six heats Lady
Byron was declared the winner.
The second event was a match for 5000 between
w. E. Weeks gray geldlng Tom Wonder and
betting this race until the fifth and last heat,
when Wonder had the call three to one. The heats
then stood two for each. At this time the driver of
Detective was called to the judges stand and eau
toned against any attempt to throw the race
be the inevitable penalty. Wonder proved the win
and Detective was pulled up very lame, having
hit himself coming up the stretch when he was on
even terms with the gray The judges were Messrs.
Riggs, Ryan and Babcock. The summaries of the
days programme are as below

be arranged, as the friends OF the Maud were
confident OF her superiority.

could paraphrase It; we could watch the vyib ing

sired, and finally succeeded in getting Norton
up stairs and on his own bed. Henry then left
him for few minutes, when Norton got up and
started to go down to the parlor again. Henry
took hold Of him and persuaded him to go back to
his room. and as he lHenryl was turning to go out
Norton drew revolver and shot him in the left

you. The human heart was made to love. Give
