LANCASTER, Ohio, June 8, 1873
The racing to-day was the best OF the meeting so
far. The attendance was not quite so large as on
yesterday but more ladies' were present, amply
compensating for all other deficiencies.
The first race was for trottng horses that have
never beaten 2:34, and the inducemens to enter
was purse OF $500. There were I'VE entries but
Red OAK on account OF his severe race OF yester
day, was Withdrawn. Tattler did not make mis- ap-
pcarance, and OF the FIVE but three came to the
stand at the tap OF the bel1. These were Annie
Collins, Fannie Brown and Captain Jack.
No diniculty was experienced by the starters, as
the three contestants came to the score very
evenly and were sent on with fine start, Annie
Collins driving away with the lead, Captain Jack
closely following Fannie Brown, after one or two
desperate efforts, came to the conclusion that the
company was too fast, gradually fell back and be-
came virtually out OF the race. Captain Jack
proved himself to be possessed OF much tenacity
as the honorable Modoc whose name he bears, and
kept up desperate stroke throughout making
very pretty race; but the little brown mare went
away from him like shot, whenever called upon,
winning in 2:4l1.
The second heat was simply repetition Of the
first, only in regard to Fannie Browns rearward
position it may be said that she was little more
SO. Annie came down the stretch playing her ears
locomotive. ANNE again won In 2:42.
1t was now 100 to 10 on Annie and no takers.
She went on with the lead and held 1t throughout,
having at no time been forced to the speed that
she IS capable OF making. Her spOrtive driver
allowed Captain Jack TO come into close quarters,
in order to make the race interesting ana tickle
his hackers, alter the oil that sage surgeo
who cut or the leg OF dying man for the purpose
Of amusing him.
