FREE-RoR-ALL PACE.
The first heat of the free-for-all pace was
| called at 23O, and after scoring half
dozen times the R5rses were sent off, Mike
Wilkes having the pole, Gem drawing second
place, Fritz third and Sailor Boy fourth.
Nearing the quarter Gem began pulling up
| on Mike Wilkes, Fritz going well close be-
hind and Sailor Boy a bad third. In the
! next quarter Sailor Boy overhauled Fritz and
made play for Gem, overtaking him in the
third quarter and going to the front in the
last quarter, taking the heat from Mike
Wilkes by four lengths, the latter coming in
on the run, Fritz third, Gem fourth.
Time, 2:21.
SECOND HEAT.
In scoring Gem and Mike Wilkes acted
badly, and at least dozen trials were made
before the horses were sent off, At the fur
long Mike Wilkes, who got slight advant-
age in the start, pinched Sailor Boy out, the
latter being obliged to bring up the rear At
! the quarter Mike Wilkes and Gem were on
even terms and struggling hard for the su-
premacy, continuing together to the half
mile pole. Sailor Boy here Strengthened out
and rapidly moved up on the leaders, over
| hauling and passing them before the three
| quarter pole was reached, Gem going back
to fourth place, and the procession rushed
under the wire in this order. Sailor Boy
covered the distance in 2:22.
THIRD HEAT.
In the next heat Mike Wilkes forged ahead
in the first furlong, Gem coming close up,
Fritz third and Sailor Boy last, the latter
seeming to show considerable WEAKNESS from
the speed of the two previous heats. The
horses passed the half mile post with Gem
| leading, the others following in the above
order, but before the three-quarters was COW
cred Sailor Boy pulled into second place,
only to surrender it back to Mike Wilkes in
the finish. Mike Wilkes was set back to
third place for crowding Sailor Bay at the
first turn and Fritz distanced for run ming to
beat the distance flag.
| FOURTH HEAT.
The fourth heat very unexpectedly wound
up the race. Gem got lead Of about four
lengths in the first quarter and kept gaining
all the way round. At the three-quarters
| Splan looked over his shoulder and discovered
that he an opportunity. He applied the whip
| freely and came down the track flying, going
under the wire in 2:21, distancing both his
competitors and scooping in the whole purse.
The applause at this point was the most lib
eral of the day.

JAY EYE SEE AGAINST TIME.
At 8 o'clock Blthers, in his becoming
plum-colored suit, came out to receive what
applause there was lying around loose, and
| to give Jay Eye See warming up" The
applause was both hearty and generous, and
the famous black gelding was sent around
the track at his leisure, covering the
distance in 2:22%. At 5 o'clock the
horse was put on the track again, this time
to beat his record, 2:10. After scoring half
dozen times to get the little fellows legs
in good working order, Bithers smiled and
nodded for the word. To the quarter he
went against the wind in 80 seconds. The
second he reached in exactly the same time,
squirting slightly to the three-quarter pole
and coming home under pcreeptibiy increased
4 IL
Bithers WAS so fully convinced that Jay Eye
See could not approach his record that he did
not urge him in the least, else he would have
covered the distance in about 2:15. He will
make another attempt to break his record
to-day, and it is hoped the conditions will be
more favorable for the trial.

were drawn. Zig drew the pole, Flora Belle
second, Wallace third and Alice B. fourth.
At the quarter po.- Wallace had lead of an
open length, Zig second, Flora Belle third,
Alice B. well back. Wallace's driver
urged him too fast and he left his feet, fall
ing away to last place. At the half Flora
Belle was first and going level, Zig second.
At the three-quarters the horses pulled pretty
well up in bunch and the race home was a
closely contested one. Flora Belle poked her
nose under thew wire first, Alice B. second;
Zig third and Wallace fourth. Time 2:30.
SECOND HEAT.
| At $3.50 the horses were called out again
Flora Belle Rugged the pole close and kept
in front to the quarter pole, being crowded
hard by Alice B and Wallace. Between the
| quarter and half Wallace shot by the rest as
if they were SO many statues, Flora Bellies
efforts to keep him back being entirely futile,
Alice B taking third place and Zig Iaboring
hard to keep from being distanced. The
horses went around in this order, Wallace
winning by length. Time, 2:3016.
THIRD HEAT.
| In the third heat Wallace held the advaut-
age he got by securing the pole and was
never headed, the procession having to
come around at rapid gait to pass the dis
lance flag in time. The order at the finish
was, Wallace first, Flora Belle second, Zig
third, Alice B fourth. Time 2:3O. The
horses will be started in this race to-day at l
| O'Clock.
