Jean IngeIow Wins in The 2.34 Glass
and Tally Ho i'm the 2.45 Glass.

The races at Presumpscot Park postponed
from Tuesday were trotted yesterday afternoon.
The number of spectators present probably
reached near three thousand. The track was
in good condition, the heats were trotted
promptly and everything passed off satisfactor-
lily to all, except of course those who staked
their money on losing horses.
FIRST RACE.
Promptly at half past o'clock the horses in
the 234 class were rung up and eight appeared,
viz: Belle Dean, Phil Sheridan, Aver, Dare,
Jean Ingelow. Lady Whitman, Minnie Lam
bert and Geo. Maynard. Aver drew the pole,
with Bell Dean, second, Ingelow, third, Lam
bert, fourth, Dare, fifth, Lady Whitman, sixth,
Phil Sheridan, seventh and Maynard, eighth.
First Heat-After considerable scoring the
horses got off Aver kept the. pole for some
distance but was closely pressed by Ingelow.
Sheridan broke badly and lost ground. Belle
Dean was well up struggling with Sheridan for
the third place. Down the home stretch In
gelow and Aver were neck and neck, but In
gelow got under the wire first and won the
heat in 231, Aver second. Phil Sheridan had
been the favorite in the pools, but at the close
OF ln1S neal IuSeiOW Suppidutco Hill anu ooid
first.
Second Heat-Ingelow had the pole. The
horses got fair send off, and it soon became
evident that the heat lay between Ingelow,
Belle Dean and Sheridan. Aver which had won
the second place in the first heat, had fallen be.
hind badly, while Dare succeeded in winning
the fourth place. Sheridan trotted without a
skip OF break, and till on the home stretch the
heat seemed to be his. Unfortunately on the
home stretch he acted badly and Belle Dean
passed under the wire few feet ahead, win
ming the heat in 232; Sheridan second and In
gelow third.
Third Heat-BeIe Dean had the pole, but
Sheridan soon took it, but hard pressed by In
gelow. Coming down the home stretch Inge-
low passed him and won the race by neck;
Sheridan second and Belle Dean third. In
gelow's time was 2.324. Maynard was distance
ed.
Fourth Heat-Ingelow had the pole. and
kept it till the last quarter, when she broke
badly and Sheridan shot ahead and took it.
Coming down the home stretch Sheridan again
failed and Ingelow passed under the wire
few inches ahead winning the heat and race
in 2 3311. The second money was given to Belle
Dean and the third to Sheridan.
The following is the
SUMMARY.

SECOND RACE.

favorite and justified the confidence reposed in
him by easily winning the race.

20 second and Flora third. Tally Ho trotted
without skip or break. Flora did some good
work, but broke badly at times. She won the

badly and was soon passed by Tally Ho, who
won the heat easily in 2.414; Flora second.
