The FUN at Fort Wayne.
FORT WAYNE, August 15.-To-day's
races were by far the most interesting of
the weeks sport. The track was in fine
condition, the attendance unexcelled,
and an unusual respect had for the decis-
ions of the judges.
The grand pacing race between Ground
Squirrel, Gray Frank, Flora and Nettie
was won in three straight heats by
Ground Squirrel. Time, 2:334, 2:33,
1884. Gray Frank and Flora were dis.
tanced.
The grand trot, free for all, lost some
interest by the withdrawal of Grey
Alex, Tom, Britton and BERTHE, the two
most conspicuous horses Red Cloud
and Red Dick were entered for the first
and second money race, won in three
straight heats by Cloud in an exciting
race. Time: 2:2S3, 2:29 and 2:274.
