 At the races at Charter Oak Park yesterday | an increased attendance of spectators was noticed with larger percentage of ladies in the comfortable seats on the grand stand. The teams within the enclosure were present in increased numbers. The judges, Mir. Burdett Loomis, Mayor Morgan G. BulkeIey and Leander Hall, with Thompson o. King clerk, assembled in the stand when the secre- tary was seen to ''pull the string to the big bell, which brought up the horses entered for the 2:29 class for purse of $500, divid- ed as follows: $25O to first, $125 to second, SS75 to third, $50 to fourth.

 The fifth scoring was very fair, but not &C., | ceptable to the starting judge. At the eighth | trial the horses started, going around to the | back side quite near together, with the ex- ception of Dave Young, who was in the rear | The heat was won by Brandy Boy in 2:221 Second heat-The drivers got @ good | start, considering the number of horses. l It was 8 good race all around the track to l the homo stretch, where Brandy Boy came | from third position to the front, winning the ] heat by neck. Time 2:214. Third heat-Brandy Boy was led at the l close of the heat by Clemmie G., who won in ! 2:234
 Fourth heat--Brown Johnny was drawn, Clemmie G. led down the back side, but broke near the three quarter pole, losing first | position, which she strove hard to recover coming to within a neck of winning at the
 wire. The heat was apparently fairly won l by Brandy Boy, but the judges announced
 from the stand that it was dead heat in the
 fast time of 2:2O4
 | Fifth heat-Clemmie G. broke at the first l turn, but lost nothing as she trotted around | fine, winning the heat with Brandy Boy close
 by her side at the wire. Time 2:22. l Sixth heat-Only the two winning horses
 started, the others with the exception of two
 that were drawn at the last heat were not al- 1 lowed to start (1n accordance with the rules)
 as they had not won heat It may be re I membered that each of the horses had won l two heats, and one heat in which Brandy Boy was neck ahead had been decided dead
 heat.
 | Gus Wilson, the driver of Brandy Boy, was
 ordered out of the sulky, and John Murphy
 was ordered to take his place, at which ac 1 tion of the judges there was much dissatis- 1 faction on the part of the spectators, who l were loud in denouncing the act. A large l crowd gathered around Mir. Wilson as he l came within the inclosure in front of the au- dience stand.
 | As the two horses went around the first | turn Brandy Boy broke. As they neared the ! last turn he was evidently losing the race, ana when Clemmie G. was at the wire in 2:29 | Brandy Boy was back near the distance stand. The spectators were now, louder than | before in denouncing the change of drivers.
 Among those present were some gentlemen ! who have often oficiated as judges who l agreed that they ''never saw such injustice. y SUMMARY
