THE TRoTTING.
The trotting in the afternoon consisted of
race for horses which have never trotted better
than 2 "a, and for stable horses. Three horses
appeared for the first race and were given posi-
tons in the order named: Black Rose, Kitty
Morris, and Nellie Sherman. The judges were
William G. Davis, Fl. S. Clay and George
Warehouse. Thepurse was 1925, divided as
follows: $685. $50, SLY, $13.
First Heat-After scoring twice the word was
given and the horses started. Kitty and Nell
lie were both running and they did not settle
down for some time. Rose hung close to the
pole and trotted squarely to the half mile when
she broke, but soon regained her feet. Nellie
was not behaving we'll and to do her best could
not get to the first position while Kitty was in
the rear. Rose won in 2 395, Nellie second and
Kitty third.
Second Health the first heat Black Rose
showed signs of lameness and it was deemed
best not to start her in this heat. Accordingly
the race was left to Nellie aud Kitty. At the
start the two horses were about even but Nellie
soon took the lead and held it throughout.
Kitty pressed her slightly on the home stretch,
and claim was made that neither Of the
horses were going three minute clip when
they came under the wire. Nellie's time was
2 461.
Third Heat-The horses were sent off with
out scoring and Nellie led the entire mile
about length and in coming in stopped to
walk right under the wire. Kitty was at her
wheel. Time 245.
Fourth Heat-This was almost repetition of
the former heat. At the end of the first half,
however, Kitty passed her competitor, but she
only held the advantage short time for Nellie
soon resumed her gait and passed her and led
the remainder of the heat, winning in 2.44 and
also the winning the race.
