They started in this order: Adalia, Gen.
eral, Pearl and Starr. Pearl was the fayorite
il the pools at $40, to SlS for Adalis and -
for Starr. A good send-off was had Pearl
led and kept it. The trot was even, good
and well-contested. Pearl won the heat 10
1921, Starr second, Adalia third. In
the second heat Pearl led, but at the
three quarter post, after very even contest
to that point, Starr came to the front and

Adalis second, Pearl third. In the third
heat Starr, st the outset. lost place and
Adalia took the pole. On the second quar-.
ter Pearl and General went side By sice

ever, kept the lead to the end, winning in
2.37-General second, Starr third, and Pearl,
the favorite, distsnced, to the dismay OF her
pool buyers. All sorts Of buying resulted,
and the preferences were very evenly divided.
In the fourth heat Adalia led. with the Zen
eral q coed second, Starr barely saving dis
lance. Time. 2:36. In the next heat Adalia
had very little diff Guilty; General went
very good second, but Starr was far to the
rear. aud was distanced. The time was $50.

this race was certainly creditable.

In the pools Inca was the favorite at $40. to
S25 for Clairmont and IS for Blackmore.
Clairmont took the lead at the quarter. Inca
was by his side, when the former broke and
ran for some distance. Inca kept by his side
to the last turn, when he lost somewhat,
but at the draw-gate was alongside,
when Clsirmont again broke, but
trotted under the score in 2;S04 lnca
second and Blackmore q good third. In
the next heat Clairmont broke on the one
eighth and again on the one-fourth, the last
time running badly. Inca trotted evenly q
good second to the hslt-mile post and on the
first turn took the lead and on the second got
TO the pole. They came down the home
stretch we'll together, Inca and Clairmont
neck-and-neck. just before the score Inca
broke and lost and Ciairmont passed in ahead
by half length. In Clairmont's breaking
there was no less, while with Inca the reverse
was true. There was strong feeling against
giving Clairnout the heat, and the judges,
properly believing justice was In that direc-
ton, gave the heat to Inca and placed Clair
mont second. Time, 2;S2i. In the third heat
Inca took the leaders place and won the heat
in 2:304, with Blackmore second. In the
