in four heats, as follows: blk. E. Black Cloud
by Ashland Chief. b. e. William Fl. by Young
Wilkes, b. 8. Scott's Thomas Gy Gent
Thomas, b. m. Unalala by Volunteer, b. &.
Pilot R.. 1, and blk. IN. Fanny Robinson. William
| II. captured the second heat, the other three
being captured by Black Cloud. Time, 2:2011<k,
2:1s1s, 2:l9I, 2:21K.
Thursdays programme resulted in three
good races, in the 2:25 pacing race, 2:l9 and
$40 classes. The starters 10 the pacing race
were Flora Belle, Winner, Princess, Joe Bow
ers, Keno and Wonderful. Flora Belle won,
taking the first, second and fourth heats,
Winner getting under the wire first in the
third heat. The time was good, 2:192l, 2:18,
2:2l and 2:1SH.
Probably more interest was felt in the Sec
ond race of the day, the 2l9 class, from the
fact that it introduced Clingstone, one of the
sensations of last year, while pitted against
him were such good ones as Com
mOdore Krttson's CHI. m. Fanny With
erspoon by Almont, CHI. m, Annie w, by AL
b. j. B. Thomas, by Thompson's Sterling.
Commenting on this race Monday last we
said: eff at himself Clingstone ought to win
the race in one, two Or three order, but he
must make no mistakes, because Fanny With
erspoon, if In fettle, is able to make him lower
| his record several seconds, Will: the other
| starters are not to be despised." The result
winning with ease with Fanny Witberspoon a
close second in each heat. Time 217, 2:1S,
2:2C. Clingstone is an inbred Ham,
bletonian, by Rysdyk's Handle
tonlan, out of Gretchen by Chosroes, son
of Hambletonan. His present record OF 2:17
| Is evidently no measure Of his speed, as fast
as POS being credited to him apparently by
authority, in private trial. Fanny Wither-
spoon trOtted a good race, but her record in
2:l7 does not measure her speed, as we think
will be demonstrated before she gets away
from Buffalo.
The starters in the 2:4O class were Meta
Medium, Lillian, Douglass, Golden Rule,
Florence NJ. and Logan B., the first named
winning by taking the first, third and fourth
meats, Lillian going uncer the wire
first in the second heat. Time,
2:235l. 2.2211, 2:24A, 2264. The
Long Branch Prince Arthur was an entry for
this race, but he was not in condition to start.
The third heat in this race resulted in one of
the most exciting finishes ever seen on a race
track. We clip from the Times report:
The third heat was one that will be long
remembered by the spectators, and years
will doubtless elapse before go fine $40 class
will lie assembled again. The 'go" was an
to the utmost, not skip was made. Meta led
to the home whirl, when Lillian rushed for
ward, and was followed by the others OF the
team. While the winner of the two heats
Rugged the fence closely, Lillian trotted
down the middle OF the track, giving ample
room to the others to find place, if they
could. All three took advantage of the op-
portunity offered, and the five horses came to
the distance, nose and nose, when Lillian
made a second effort, and won by scant half
length. The Others were nose and nose, and
ii fault can be found with the judges for the
manner OF the placing they intlmated that no
one could say they. were not right as nobody

no one followed closely enough to tell abso-
lutely who was correct"
Friday, the last day OF the regular pro-
gramme, had but two events, the 2:25 stall
lions and free for all. The starters in the |
1lrst-named event were Fred Douglas, by
Green's Bishsw, Corbin's Bishaw, by Amboy,
Little Billy by Clear Grit. Abdallah Boy BY |
Abdallah, Messenger and II d Cross by Brig
and. Fred Douglas won 10 three straight |
heats, the others in the order named. Time,
2:201l, 2 90, 2:2t4.
The other event. the free-for all, did |
the first place Charley Ford did
not start, leaving the contest between Edwin |
Thorne by Thorndale, SO So by George Wilkes
and Kate sprague by Gov. Sprague. For
some reason $3.50 was made the favorite,
though by what system of reasoning any one
could figure her out better horse than Edwin |
Thorne, especially at this season of the year, j
condition, all her best races being made late in
the year, and Friday she was evidently off,
only being able to capture last place. Time, |
2:16, 2:20, 2:2l, Thorne thus reducing his |
record a second and half.
The meeting was brought to close
the feature being stallion sweepstakes
10 which TIE starters were Monroe Chief,
SCOTS Thomas and Black Cloud. The horses
sold for positions in the order named, but the
latter went in and won it with case in three
straight heats in the remarkably good time
of 2.l9, 2:1Ss4, 21SA. This places Black
Cloud second to Piedmont, 2:l71l, the fastest
stallion record, barring that Of the lannon's
Smuggler,2 :154 made in 1915. The 800 minute
class was won in three straight heats by Jim
Bowman, in 2.901s, 2.3014, 2:29x.
Further comments upon the above races are
unnecessary. Every race with heat better
than 2:50 and most close to 2:20, with four new
performers under the 900 lmit-Mlnnie R.,
Rosa Wilkes, William III. and Black Cloud
and general lowering OF records tells the
story. Bat while the Chicago meeting, as a
whole, has been the most brilliant ever yet
held in this country, and is probably the best
that will be held during the season, the really
sensational results of the present system Of
breeding, training aud driving remain TO be
developed during some of the meetings yet to
be held.
WonderfuI Double Team Performance.
The first page of the Spirit Of the Times of
the 22d, is embellished with likeness OF the
horses Edward and Dick Swiveller, as they ap-
peared at the Gentlemen's Driving Park, New
York, July Is, when they trotted full mile
in 2:161. The trial was the result of a
friendly wager of $1,000, between Mr.. Frank
Work, owner OF the team, and Mr.. Shipherd
F. Knapp, the latter betting the team could
not beat 800 Johnny Murphy drove the
team and Messrs. NJ. 2. Bush, Geo. B. Alley
and Samuel Morgan acted as judges. All be-
ing in readiness the team were brought up by
Murphy trotting well and smoothly and re-
ceived the word. They got safely around the
turn by the cooling sheds, and sped down the
side at gradually accelerating pace, reaching
the quarter in 334 seconds. They
were now fairly flying, and without skip
or break the halt was reached IN Los, show
ing the second quarter to have been done in
3l% seconds. The hard work was now before
Dick and his mate, and the hill on the third
quarter slowed them down SO that it was LAO
before their heads reached the third post.
The third quarter occupied 35 seconds.
Nothing but q break could now stop
their winning the match and Murphy, nurs-
