First Hedt-The judges were evidently deter
mined TO waste no tlme as they gave them the
word the first time they came up. The start was
bad, and az a gentleman foolishly runp the bell
some Of the drivers thought It was a recall and
pulled up, but seeing their mistake started or
send or followed by Dandenon, which had passed
through the ruck to second place. Ellen Mary
was never headed and won the heat by three or
four ieAgths. with Henry Miller second and Dan
delon tnird. Time, 2 :43.
Second Heot-whe the horses were scoring
the rain commenced, and coming down pretty
fast made the track heavy. Curious to say, the
same blunder was repeated in the Judges stand
as occurred In the FIRST heat as the word was
gwen. and the bell was rung. Dandeion was
pulled up. and his driver, not perceIving his mis-
take until too late turned round and trOtted back
to his stable. Ellen Mary, as usual, was of first,
took the lead and was not headed silver Tail
nnsned second and Henry Miller third. Time,
2:3SZ.
THIRD Observation-Disclosures time was lost in scor-
Ing some oil the drivers appeared determined
to get the best OF the send-oh. When they did get
tae word Ellen Mary jumped away with the lead,
and Silver Tail, gradually closing up, made an
effort TO go by at the quarter but broke up and
let Henry Miller take second place. Miller made
quite get there, and Ellen Mary won the heat
handily. Time, 242A. Henry Miller was second
and silver Tail third.
