PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.-About 5 ,0o(
people visited Belmont Park to-day tC
witness the match trotting race be-
tween j. l. Cases brown stallion, Phal.
lis, and the bay geld ng, Harry Wilkes.
for special purse OF $4,000
or which $1,000 is to the
second horse; best three in five heats.
Phallls was driven as usual by Ed. d.
Bithers, while Frank MANNERS hold
the reins over Wilkes. The track was
In perfect order The betting was
brisk, Phellis running big favorite
before tho start, 500 TO $50, and the
same odds oil tho stallion were
forthcoming In any amount,
even after tina first heat
had fallen to Wilkes. The race was
eventually won by Wilkes, who took
hrst, second and fourth heats, tho de.
tails Of which are as followa:
First Heat-Atter three false starts,
in which Wilkes broke be-.
ioro reaching tho wire, a
securing hRlt-length lead before the
quarter was reached and holding it ali
the waY round to hOad of stretch,
where Phallls left bis feet aud the
geidlpg won by two open lengths in
2:l6
Second Heat-Tho word ngoV was
given at tho second trial, and
Wilkes broke badly before Re
was dozen yards past he
wire, Phallis having six lengths
tho best of it gt the quarter and almost
az much ut the half. As the pair ap-
prog 'h0d the three.quarter post
Wilkes wont up with surbrjs-
Ing ease, Phailis coming back as if an
chOrod,and on the turn into the stretch
the geldi"g went by him Ike q streak,
holding his lead TO the wire, where he
was two good lengths ahead in 2:2O.
Third hoat-Wilkes having won the
preceding heat with such Bpparent
case the betting was completely
changed, and, after few pools had
been sold al $lC0 to $50 in his favor, tho
odds on him increased TO
as high rs $3.50 to 500. The hersea
wGrO sent away at the second trial,
Welkos breaking so bad III tho first 100
yards that he lost all chance and was
q distance b0hind at the holt mile. At
tho three quarter Phallis made a mo.
mentary break and Wilkes shut up q
fraction of tho gap, but, although no
trotted very strong and steady in the
stretch, Phalli3 got tho verdict by
dozen lengths amid loud cheering.
Time: 2;2lI.
Fourth Heat-"he pools now aver
aged S3j to SIG in fav or of Wilkos, and
the layers OF odds were rewarded by
seeing their choice win hardly by 10
lengths aitor being apparently heaton
a. the half mile. Phallis bro ke
badly just before ronching the
throB.quartor pole, and Wilkes COM
ing up, passed him on the turn into

last 100 yards.

to said ToMPKINs the said city lot for
