Horse Notes,

The races for the third day were the $40
and 1926 class; the 15 entries in the 2:4O
class dwindled down to z, as follows: Alb
dallah Boy, of Cleveland; Lady Voorhies,
Tauworth, Kate, Membrino. Gen. jackson
vile Boy, of Fla, and Teaser, of Pitts
burgh. This was a pretty hot race all
through, but space forbids any description
but will, however, say that in the heats
won by Lady Voorhies, she would be from
10 to 20 lengths behind the leading horses
before she got to the first quarter, but
from there she would pass them all and
come in an easy winner.
Valiant, owned by Mr.. Case. and Dan,
by Mr.. Stanhope, were both entered in
this class, but neither of them having had
work enough to compete with any chance
of success, they we're withdrawn. They
are both improving very much, and VAL
liant was given trial to show to intending
purchasers in 2:9O. The 1926 class had
trotted heats between the others, and it
was heat well worth seeing; in each heat,
the home stretch, vieing with each other
for the supremacy at every step, aided by
the care and knowledge of their drivers.
and perhaps lauded winner by just
neck. After the second heat the excite
ment in the grand stand was intense-all
rising to get better view of the desperate
efforts of the horses down the long home
stretch. The first heat was taken by Tom
Keeler, in 2:254; he is fine, large, bay
horse, owned and driven by perfect gen.
tleman, Mr.. Baker of Seneca Falls, N. Y.
If Tom tells him that he can win the race,
he does it; and if he is not clear about it,
Mr.. Baker never deceives his friends. Long
may Tom and his owner thrive. The sec
ond heat was taken by Capt. Jack in 2:22.
The third and fourth by Tom BrittSn in
2 2:2615 each heat. The driver of Tom Brit
ton is rapidly gaining an enviable rspIta-
tion as careful and skillful man with a
horse, and whenever you see George VOOr-
HES up you may depend on him. Lewnis-
ki took the 5th heat in 2:254, Tom Brit
ton the last and the race in 2:20.
The races for the fourth and last day
were $50, and Free-to-sll. Prosper was
entered in the so race, but did not trot as
his shoes did not set quite right. The
dark ones in this class in addition to those
i'll the three minutes class, were the con-
verted PAGER, Milly Osborne, who can show
heats below 1926, Capt. Sellack, Of Cleve-
land, who is credited with trials OF 2 81
and less, and very speedy chestnut mare,
and Deadwsight, who trots very fast when
not running, Lille, Adele Clark, trotted in
this race.
The first heat was taken by Lille, as in
the 8 minute race, closely pushed by Adele
Clark and Capt Sellack. In second heat,
the driver of Adele Clark collided with the
sulkey Of the mare Lille, and much bet
ter evidence of being a driver is seldom
shown than the skill with which Mr.. Nc
Guigan drove Lille around the track with
one good wheel and the other hardly able
to support its own weight. His arrival at
the score was greeted with rounds Of ap-
plause. The action of the driver of Adele
Clerk had been expected, and it was only
on par with his known character. He
will be different when he strikes a track
under the auspices of the National AssO-
citation. The race was won by Adele Clark
in the I'd Sd and 9th heats.
The Free-to-all race was won by Merzo-
mamie in the I'd Sd and 4th heats-the first
being taken by Cozette, Little Fred being
Sd in each heat.
