The open to all race for a purse of $500
was the closest and most evenly matched
Of any race ever trOtted on the grounds
| Iattler drew the pole, with Ella second for
the first heat. Tattler led, although the
three were well punched together the en-
tire heat. The second heat was even more
exciting and was the prettiest and best
contested of any ever trotted on this track.
Ella caught the lead at the start
closely pushed by Nightingale, with Tat
tier bringing up the rear, making several
bad breaks. He was able to close up on
the others, however, passing under the
wire at the half nearly abreast with them,
remaining in this position till on the last
stretch, when the roam crept up and came
in at the finish not a neck ahead of the
other two, who divided the honors of sec
ond place, making it a dead heat for them.
