being near together.
The third heat was prefaced with
| ten false starts s,after which permission
was given to sponge the horses off.
The eleventh start was a go, and the
contest became quite interesting. Con-
siderable running was done, but
Vaughn kept down to the work pretty
| steadily and did square trotting most
of the time. The heat was won by
Gold Note in 2:34, with Treat, Vaughn
and Dirigo close behind.

were then rung in for the fourth heat.
Only one false start was made and a

lowed by Vaughn, which position re-
mained unchanged until the stand
was reached. Gold Note won in 2;35,
Vaughn, Dirigo and Treat coming
close behind
After nine false starts the horses got
away in pretty fair style. There was
considerable breaking, and, taken al
together, it was not satisfactory all
around. The fifth heat was won by
Treat in 2:364, Dirigo, Gold Note and
Vaughn following, After the heat
the drivers of Treat and Gold
Note both complained in regard
to running. In accordance with rule,
Dirigo having run five heats without
gaining one, WAS sent to the stable,
leaving the race to be contested by
Vaughn, Gold Note and Treat.

was too late for protest, in any
event.
THE SIXTH HEAT OF THE TRoT
Was now called. The horses got off
quickly, and at the half mile pole
Treat led, followed by Vaughn and
Gold Note. The last half mile was
quite exciting, being neck and neck
between Vaughn and Treat, the former
winning the heat by half a head in
2:3St, Gold Note being some distance
in the rear. The reason of this lag
ging was caused by Gold Note kicking
Donithan in the pit of the stomach 50
that he was disabled and had to be
lifted out OF the sulky. aa .aa
Considerable DELAY was experienced
