bell, in the 2:34 class, and positions were as
signed as follows: Jennie, Zig and Aneid. Zig
was big favorite in the pools, and in the first
heat he took the lead around the turn, followed
by Jennie and Aneid, increased his lead down the
back, and when rounding the three-quarler
turn was half dozen lengths ahead. He came
under the wire jog in 2:35, followed by
Jennie, and Aneid in order. In the second heat
Zig had everything his own way up to the en-
trance into the back stretch, when he went into
the air and Aneid forced ahead on a run. Jennie
meanwhile keeping her feet nicely, but not fast
enough to become leader. The leaders, how
ever, kept on the jump for quarter and then
settled down to business. Zig and Aneid came
under the wire on even terms, the former run
ming however The judges, after celebrating,
gave the heat to Jennie, Zig second and
Aneid last No time was announced. The
judges rendered their verdict in this manner be-
cause Jennie kept her feet during the entire heat
while the others were almost continually on the
jump. In the third heat the horses experienced
much difficulty in scoring easily and were not
sent off until the eighth attempt. Zig took the
lead at the start and held it home. 1t was regu-
lar procession all the way, and Zig could easily
have shut both his competitors out but he was
pulled on the home stretch and came under the
wire on a walk Time, 2:34a4. Zig showed up
lame in the fourth heat, but he managed to take
the lead at the outset and keep 1t to the wire,
outtrotting both Jennie and Aneid, the only in
teresting feature of the heat being the unsuc-
cessful attempt of Aneid to force Sig into the
air. Time of heat, 2:33.

THE PAGERS.

pacing race Patchen 7. second, Theresa Scott
third and Ada B. outside This proved to be
the best race of the afternoon, and each heat
was warmly contested. Mike Wilkes went to
first place into the quarter stretch and close
ly followed by Patchen, Theresa Scott and Ada
B., in order The leaders had a pretty race
down the back stretch and Wilkes passed the
half mile post in III, a clipping gait for three
minute horses. Patchen was pressing him hard,
however, and at the three-quarter pole forced
him to break. Patchen kept the lead home
and Wilkes gave place to Theresa on the last
quarter, while Ada made up the rear guard.
Wilkes was given fourth place for trotting down
the home stretch instead Of pacing, and Patchen
was given the heat in 2 81.
The second heat was a pretty one and splen
did send off was given each horss. Patchen led
Mike Wilkes. At the quarter pole the process
sion continued in the same ORDER but drawing
down the stretch Wilkes placed himself on easy
| terms with Patchen, and a neck and neck race
| was had past the half mile post, which was made
| in 1 :O9. Each horse was spurred to his utmost
| and each responded nobly. Wilkes was not
| steady enough for the demand made upon him,
! however and Patchen forced him off his feet at
the three-quarter pole This settled the heat as
| far as Wilkes was concerned, and he gave place
| to Theresa Scott. Patchen finished the heat in
2:26A The third heat was the last, and Patch
en- T. made a splendid race, never being headed
| from wire to wire. Mike Wilkes gave him some

Wilkes out by a length and distancing Ada B.,
