FLEETWOOD PARK.

The trotting at Fleetwood Park yesterday after
noon was very interesting and gave satisfaction to
the spectators. Three trOts were decided OF the
four announced to come Oh, these being team
trot, sweepstakes and match under the saddle.
The fourth, o sweepstakes between four horses
did not take place, being postponed to some future
day. 1t was as well that 1t was not begun, as 1t
could not have been finished yesterday.
The first trot was for a sweepstakes OF $500 for
teams. There were three nominations, comprising
b. Wilson'S chestnut gelding Willie Lane and
mate G. Schultz's sorrel gelding Bricks and mate,
and @. simmons bay mare Nancy and mate.
schultzs team were the favorites previous to the
start, but being beaten by Wilson'S team in the
first heat, the latter became the favorites at two
to one They won the second heat very easily and
then, with odas OF four to one on them,
they started for the third Simmons now swapped
teams with Schultz and being acknowledged the
better driver than Schultz, great expectations
were manifested by the bacKers ofthe latter's team
that Simmons would be able to show them the way
to the front. Simmons succeeded In making q
dead heat OF the fourth, but was beaten by Will
sons team on the nth heat and that decided the
race.
The second trot was also sweepstakes for $500,
which had three entries. These were Peter
Dewett's black gelding Mac, John Lyons sorrel
IL
Red Bird The latter was distanced the first heat.
Four heats had to be trotted decide this affair,
the first, second and fourth being won by Simmer,
Mac taking the third. There was little betting on
this race Mac having the call at the beginning and
Simmer afterwards.
The best trot OF the day was q saddle race be-
tween william f. Weeks gray geding Tanner Boy
and John Murphy's brown gelding Joe Clark. The
latter was the, fayorite before the start but cast
hobbled home on break all the way, and Tanner
Boy became the favorite. the spectators not know
