THE 2:25 PURSE.
The second race was for a purse OF $4,000, for
horses that never beat :25 and for which the en-
tries were THE sorre mare Susie, sorrc mare None
such, bay mare Huntress and chestnut gelding Judge
Fullerton. When il became known that the latter
horse was In his stable on the Island, and also that
Nonesuch would not start, considerable disappoint-
ment was felt. but the reputation Of the other two
mares was such that pooseng was lively. Susie
being avorite at odds of $50 to sl6 and at these
rates considerable business was done.
FIRST Hedt.-Susie won the pole, and on the fourth
attempt the word was given for an excellent start.
They went side and side the quarter In thirtysix
and quarter seconds and kept together ali the
way up the back side to the half, in 13. Susie
stuck to her work with the steadiness Of veteran,
half. The break was not a bad one, however, and
daylight was only visible between them On the
last half the driver called upon Hnntress and she
responded with burst of speed that carried her
OF her feet. She soon to her work again, and
gave Susie splendid race home, the latter winning
by short half length in :2S.
Second Heat.-1'he word was given for an ex-
cellent start, and as they went from the
wire Susie showed her head in 'front.' II
was only for an instant however, for Huntrcss
put on tremendous rate OF speed and out
trotted SFse completely, opening lead OF at
least three lengths at the quarter, in thiryfve
onds. The people began to look at their watches
and wonder at the speed shown by both up the
backstretch. Susie gradually closed on Huntress.
but the latter kept her pace and reached the half
two lengths ahead in the extraordinary time OF
! 10. On the roadside stretch Susie bettered her
pace little and iuntrcss left her feet for an in
slant, but rapidly drew away and led into the
stretch three lengths, and won the heat by nearly
that distance, in 2:24sI.
mira Hedt.-There was a lively turnover Mt the
pool stand and men were anxious to get some OF
Huntress. She hot favOrite at odds of 100 to
90 and II was harder work 10 get the latter than
the former sum. Obtaining the word Huntress
at once went to the front, the pace being
ter in thirty-four and three-quarter seconds.
Leading two lengths on the back side, Susie
closed with Huntress, getting to her wheel,
In which positions they maze the half in l :10ls.
Huntress made one OF her admirable breaks that
lost her no distance, and ut the head Of the stretch
Susie wasibeaten Huntress winning under pull in
2:27A.
Fourth HeGt.-The betting was at a standstll
the odds being too large on Huntress to tempt
those who desired, above all things, to fix them
selves. Huntress went to the front soon as she
began to make the turn, and II was at once appar-
cnt that she would have the heat as she pleased,
which was the fact, for Susie did not get nearer
than two lengths OF her during the whole mile,
Hnntress winning under pull, In 2:2Sl4. The fol-
