The race on Thursday in Providence,
between the double teams trotter and
running mate, owned by James Kee-
nan, of Boston, and j. Earnestly q Co.,
of Providence, was an exciting one and
was noted for two things: That the re-
cord for such teams, oil, made by
/ Yellow Dock and mate in 1882, was
broken and that the three heats were
the fastest ever made in a race The
match was for $4,000 and the contest
ants were III. b. Winship and runner,
Hiram Bruce, and Frank and mate,
John Nay. The judges, John Shop
herd and Ira H. Bickford, of Boston,
and Col. S. S. Atwell, of Providence.
called up the teams a little before 8
O'Clock. Frank was selling favorite in
the pools, five to four, but disappointed
his hackers by acting nasty. His
runner was hitched on the off side
and Frank pulled away from him and
kept breaking. In the first heat Win
Eshiprhad little the best of the send off
and Frank making two breaks, one at
the turn and another at the the three
quarters post, the black won easily BY a
length in 2:16. suaa w sr. aas
+ The second heat was the best, and
broke the record. Frank was shifted
to the off side and went much better
Winshipshad a little the best of at the
word, and at the quarter post led BY a
length and a half Going up the back
stretch Frank began to let out, and
gained steadily until on the upper turn
he was neck and neck with Winship,
and both horses were flying as the
three-quarter post was passed. Frank
again made break at the same fatal
place, but Golden still continued to
send Winship at 2;07 clip and he flashed
under the wire at 2:102, the leader of
the world in like trials of speed. The
third heat was similar to the others,
Frank keeping good second until the
three-quarter post, and then breaking
and falling back, while Winship won
easily in 2:11a. After the first heat
pools sold in Winship's favor IS to IS,
and after the second heat tickets went
begging.
The best sale of thoroughbreds ever
held In New York, not only in the
matter of prices obtained, but in the
general excellence of the lots offered,
has just taken place at the American
horse exchange. The sale attracted
great attention, and buyers were pre-
sent from California, Kentucky, Illinois
and other states. The total amount
realized for siaty-two lots was SS3, lS5,
an average of S5S5.24, including the
drafts from the stables of Mr. Pierre
Lorillard, Mr. William Astor. Mr.. j. r.
Keene, the Chipsiana, and other sta
bles. Mr. Lorillard's lot numbered
thirty-one, just half of the sale, and
realized a total OF $21, $40 an average
of $500. 06l. The three stations sold
for 1925, Kantaka. the half-brother of
Hermit, selling for $4,000, which is just
$500 less than Mr.. Lorillard paid for
him as yearling in England. The
eight brood-mares sold for a total of
1885, while the twenty yearlings sold
for total of S14, 100, an average Of
sos per head. A majority of the year
lings lthirteen) were BY Mr. Lorillard's
last imported stallion, Mortimer, and
they sold better than expected, realiz-
I ing total of 1850, or an average of
$765. 38I. Nearly all are well engaged,
and it viii be an interesting feature of
next years racing to see who OBJ
tanned the prizes.
