The next race was for trotters in the 3
year-old class, with the 8. m. Nettie, Oh. st

cular development and but 26 months old
Tramp Dexter sold as the favorite to 4. In
drawing for positions Tramp Dexter, Jr.,
drew the pole, Nettie in the middle and
Aladdin on the outside.
First Heat-The horses were sent off on
the first trial, Nettie unsteady, Dexter, Jr.,
leading and Aladdin close up. On the turn
Nettie broke badly and dropped eight or ten
lengths behind. At the same time Aladdin
wavered for an instant, but settled almost
Immediately, and at the corner was nearly
even with Dexter, Jr. Leaving here Aladdin
began to 80 to the front, steady but surely
and at the half had opened gap of five
lengths, while Nestie was fifteen lengths be-
hind Dexter. This position was maintained
until the home stretch was reached, when
Dexter began to pull up little on Aladdin
but the latter passed under the wire
winner by two lengths, without having
left his feet except the slight break
soon after leaving the wire. The heat was
trotted in 3:124, good time considering the
condition Of the track.
In the time intervening for calling the
10 huc RI.
in the pool box, Dexter, Jr., notwithstand-
ing Alddin's getting the first heat, still
selling the favorite, the rates ranging at -
to and ID to in his favor.
Second H-at-Again the colts were sent
off on the first trial, Dexter, Jr., in tn.
lead, with Aladdin close up. On the turn
Dexter, Jr, left his feet but settled at once,
and Aladdin leaving his feet Dexter opened
gap Of three lengths in the quarter. Go
ing the half Aladdin pulled up to Dexter
wheel but again left his feet and dropped
behind four lengths before he was settled,
and though no trotted we'll the balance of the
heat, he was unable to get again IN danger
GUS proximity to Dexter who won the heat
in 3:O61a, Aladdin second. Nettie acted
badly and was not in the race from the
start, and finished fifteen lengths behind.
The chestnut colt was now a red hot favor
ite, the knowing ones (O buying him freely
and largely in the pools at Is to and 9
and thinking themselves fortunate
IN getting chance to place
their money on him at any odds.
Third Heat-The colts were sent off on
the first trial, Dexter having the best of it
by two lengths in the lead of Aladdin, who
was about the same distance ahead of Nettie
B., who broke sooe after getting the send
of, and was not again in the race. Half
way to the quarter Aladdin wavered little,
but soon settled, and the quarter was passed
with Dexter simply maintaining the advan-
tage he had in the send off. On the half
both colts trotted level and fast,
Aladdin gradually renducing the open
space separating him from the
leader. Entering the back stretch Aladdin
was on the wheel of Dexter, and half way
down he had collared his rival, and look,
Dexter goes up and the bay swings into the
lead. Dexter settled quick and was sent ahead
with rush and the colts we're head and
head npon entering the homo stretch, but
the pace was too hot for Dexter and he left his
feet again. All this time Aladdin was
going fast and creeping ahead with his long
sweeping, cat like gait, and before Dexter
settled he had opened five lengths and the
pool box yelled in agony. Settled again
Dexter trotted fast, but it was no use, AL
laddin was too fast for him, and came ii
winner under pull, in the remarkably fas
time for third heat and heavy track, Of
3:O3M.
