stand and announced change in the pro
gramme. He said it had always been hi
practice to advertise his attractions freely
and to live up to his adver
tisements, bet he had on this occasion tc
beg the indulgence of his patrons. Tht
programme eslled for free-for- all race, il
which some of the best horses in the coun
try had been entered. Unfortuna
tely. two of them had been dis
abled (meaning Hattie Woodward and
Hannis), and another, VIM. H., had failed to
put in an appearance. This left only the
little grey stallion Hopeful to start. In this
emergency he had substituted the 2:21 race
fer the free-for- all race, and had also
arranged with Mr.. Mace, the manager of
Hopeful, to trot an exhibition race. With
the track and the head wind, Mr.. Mace, the
colonel said, would not promise an extra
fast heat, but he would promise that the
little horse should do the best possible
under the circumstances. Col. Kings re-
marks were we'll received, and if there was
any disappointment at the change of pro-
| gramme it was not manifested.
| The races, while not showing anything re
markable as to time, or in exciting incidents,
were fairly satisfactory, and considering the
track and constant wind, were productive of
fair time.
THE 2:2S GLASS.
The first event was the 2:2S class, in which
the entries were the oh. 6. Frank Fisk, b.
m. Calmus, b. G. Business and Oh. g. j. w.
Thomas, the horses having positions in the
order named. In the pools Calmus
sold as large favorite, and to an outsider it
looked as if the other drivers had sort of
an understanding to beat him out of first
place, but he had too much foot for his COM
pany, and he won with commanding ease, as
will be seen from tn detailed report below.
First Heat-The horses were sent off on
the fifth trial with the four we'll punched,
with Calmus little of the best of it, but
Thomas several lengths behind. At the
and head. but going to the half, in 1:12A,
Calmus opened gap of four lengths, with
Business about an equal distance behind,
Fisk and Thomas still trailing. Down the
back stretch Thomas drew up on Business,
and the two entered the home stretch on
even terms, the leaders holding their lead.
Down the home stretch all the horses trotted
nicely, Thomas getting third place about the
distance, Calmus finishing an easy winner,
with Fiska good second. Time 2:27.
Second heat-The starting of this heat
was delayed by Thomas throwing shoe.
Ready for the send off, two efforts were
made, when they got the word with Thomas
a little the best of 1t. Fisk, however,
by burst took the pole, Calmus dropping
to fourth place. At the half in :3z1I Fisk
had two lengths the best of it, Thomas Sec
ond, Business third. Down the half CAL
mus pulled for the front on the outside, and
at the pole in 1:14 he was on even terms with
Fisk, with Business close up. Along the
back stretch Calmus pulled away from Fisk,
and at the three quarters in 1:49 he had two
lengths the best of Fisk, with Business
about the same distance to the rear and
Thomas out of the race. Down the half
stretch Calmus cut out the work, carrying
Fisk, who was trailing, from his feet about
half way home, a circumstance that
Crawford improved by sending Business
to second place, position he held to the
finish, though Fisk recovered quickly and
trotted finely. The last half was trotted in
Ill a, remarkably good time considering
the east wind and track, Business second,
Fisk third, Thomas fourth, all the horses
having trotted the heat withouta skip. Time,
2:25I.
Third heat-Calmus, Fisk and Business
went off even with Thomas two lengths be-
hind. Going to the quarter in :374, Cal
mus had secured lead of length of Fisk,
with Business three lengths away and Thom-
as an equal distance in the rear. The half
was made in the same order in 1:121s, and
the three quarters in 1:49 without any change
in position except that Fisk had drawn up
to within about two lengths of the leader.
Down the home stretch Woodmansee made
an effort to overtake the leader, but the pace
was too hot for him and he temporarily left
his feet. At the same time Crawford sent
Business for second place, and he got on
even terms with Fisk couple of lengths
from the wire but the effort had been too
much for him, and he left his feet, giving
Fisk second place, Thomas fourth. Time,
2:2411a.
