First Hedt.-After a number of inef
fectual starts the word was given, and
the flyers settled down at once TO hard
work. For the first half mile 1t was al
most impossible to distinguish the rela-
| tive positions Of the trotters, but as they
passed under the wire on the first round
1t was noticed that Little Mac had a
safe lead, which he held until the end
of the heat. Potato Bug was second
and Gray Morgan third, with the rest
Huttering close behind. The judges,
however, displaced Little Mac for run
ming, and scored him third in position
giving the heat to Potato Bug. On ac-
count of this action the time was not an
nOunced.
| Second Hedt.-This heat after several
trials was started with all we'll punched
/ xx,l1o
feet behind. In this heat Gray Morgan
at once forged ahead, aud got good
lead on the first half mile, followed by
Potato Bug, Little Mac, White Stocking
and Honest Fred in the order named.
At dead trot these positions were
main aimed during the second heat, and
in this order the horses passed under
the wire. Tribe. and Lady Morris were
dlstanced, and the judges also distanced
Napoleon for running. The heat was
won by Gray Morgan. Time, 2:44!.
This time caused considerable COM
ment considering the entire were all for
1888 race, for horses with no better
record than $3.50.

duced to five in this heat, which render
ed the contest more exciting. MorrisOn's
Honest Fred led of, but soon fell to the
rear, though by hard work he managed
to creep into fourth position. Glay
Morgan took an easy lead in this heat,
and kept it up, coming in first, with
Little Mac, second, Potato Bug third
and White Stocking fifth. Line, 2:43t..
Fourth Heat. t.-This.heat was repeti-
tion of the last, until the home stretch
was reached, when Little Mac closed up
on Gray Morgan, who was on the lead
Wien close TO the wire Little Mac, by
squirt of running, came neck and neck
with Gray Morgan, and the two horses
passed under the wire so evenly that
the audience were positive the heat was
draw. Little Macs driver was crowd
Ing Gray Morgan so closely that the
buggies fouled ust after they cleared
the Judges stand. Potato Bug was third
Honest Fred Fourth and White Stocking
fifth. The judges awarded this heat to
Little Mac. Time 2:44s.
