SECOND HEAT .I 93U
Excitement ran high aud betting
was lively. At the pool-sclling the
Moor, being in first-class condition,
was the general favorite, at odds of
five 10 one on the field. Vaughan
brought about half as much as the
black, with Echo far in the back
ground. There were two false starts
and McCregor, driver of the Moor, was
| fined $40 for not obeying the instruc-
ton of the judges "to score with
Vaughan" who was the hindmost
horse in scoring. Mr.. Titus drove his
horse, Echo, on and after this heat. a
fair start was secured, Vaughan at the
pole and Echo on the outside. Vaughan
took the lead at the turn and kept it
to the home stretch, Echo falling be-
hind. From the first quarter to the
third quarter pole, Vaughan and the
| Moor had magnificent contest, the
| black slightly shortening the gap. On
the home stretch all three horses
broke, but were promptly brought
back to q trotting gait. At the dis
tance-pole the Moor put on full steam
and closed in on Vaughan, the two
| crossing the score, neck and neck, in
2:381. Echo trotted splendidly after
! passing the half-mile pole and would
have won the heat had he kept his
| feet on the home stretch-as it was he
| was close up to the other horses at the
! scratch. The judges announced
! dead heat for Vaughan and the Moor.
THIRD HEAT. E
The announcement of a "dead heat'
added fuel to the flames and general
rush was made for the pool stand.
The Moor remained the favorite at the
following rates: Moor, $50; Vaughan,
$50; Echo, 81 80.
The horses went off on the second
score with q fair start, the positions
being the same as in the last heat, the
Moor neck in advance. At the turn
Vaughan took the lead the Moor close
| on him and Echo trailing behind. At
the quarter pole Vaughan lead by
length, Echo two lengths behind. At
the half-mile the same positions were
maintained with the eXpectiOn that
Echo had crawled mp somewhat. At
the third quarter Vaughan still led,
but all three horses were getting into
bunch, and then came magnifi-
centspurt around the turn and in on
the home-stretch. The black was
about even with Vaughan, when he
unlnckily made break, thereby los
ing the heat. Vaughan passed under
the wire two lengths ahead, Echo
coming up square with the Moor's
nose. Time, 2:37.
The Judges gave the heat toVaughan
and declared Echo and the Moor even.
This was the best heat during the en-
tire races. Echo did not even make
skip; Vaughan made a bobble at the
third quarter, but recovered so quickly
that it was scarcely perceptible to the
naked eye; the Moor made but one
break, but it cost him the heat.
FOURTH HEAT. nan har
Vaughan had now won two heats
and one more heat won would
give him the race. The many back
ers of the Moor were worried but
J maintained their faith in the black,
but Vaughan went forward in popu-
lar favor. The pools stood: Vaughan
S35, the Moor $l2 and Echo So. cf5s
Vaughan had the pole, Echo on the
outside. There were half dozen
false starts, the black each time being
too far in the lead. {" Hold in the
Moor" cries out the judge, 'sor yon'll
be fined again" 81 can't hold him
in,n retorts McGregor, slime the other
drivers for holding their horses back"
Then the "go'' was given but the start
was wretched one. The Moor was
half q length ahead OF Echo and
Vaughan at leest length behind the
latter. At the quarter pole the Moor
hol n lannfh ond
Echo over length ahead of Vaughan.
The latter here made break but
came back 10 work at once. Echo
crawls up on the Moor, Vaughan comes
to the front in handsome style, and
then all three trot along with their
noses in u line. At the half mile
Vaughan captures the lead, the Moor at
his heels and Echo slightly in the
rear. Here Echo takes squirt and
flies past the black, laps the brown
and becomes the leader and in this
position the third quarter pole is
passed. With about an even show on
the last quarter, the excitement runs
red hot. All three ho'ses trot magni-
ficently and the chances stand even.
Vaughan passes Echo and the Moor
steadily fills up the gap between him
and Echo. Vaughan's hackers cheer
Justify, but illus brings down his
| whip and Echo springs to the front
and passes beneath the pole not over
half length ahead of Vaughan, the
Moor about three lengths behind
Vaughan. Cheer upon cheer went up
in Echo's honor. Time 2:39.
FIFTH HEAT.
At the pool stand Vaughan contin-
ues the favorite, while Echo's success
in the last heat gives him higher
standing with sporting men. Pools
! sell as follows: Vaughan $50, Echo
| S22; Moor $40. Over $4,000 are in
| Noyes d Durfee's strong box depend
ant on the race.
A good start is quickly secured with
Echo at the pole. Both the Moor and
Echo make breaks but promptly re-
| cover. Vaughan and Echo have q
close turn, while the black falls be-
hind at the quarter mark. Echo leads
by half u neck, but after q capital trot
to the half mile, Vaughan goes ahead
and leads by half length-the black
all the while falling to the rear. Echo
refuses to take the dust and spurts to
| the front once more, and at the third
quarter has put over q length between
him and Vaughan. Vaughan breaks
but comes down to q trOt promptly,
| doing his cause but little hurt. lie
slowly gains on Echo and when fairly
on the home-stretch is almost even
with him. Within one hundred yards
of the goal and Echo's friends are GER
