The customary disregard of the patience
of hepatrOns of horse trotting was displayed
| by the drivers in their anxiety to get the
best of the send off and it was not until the
judges asserted their right by threatening
fines that any serious effort was made for a
start. Nearly three quarters of an hour was
consumed in scoring then the start was
poor one.
! FIRST Hedt-Butcher Boy went away with
the lead, with Fred Is. second and Nellie b.
third. Up the back side Nellie passed Fred
and trotted fast to catch the leader. On the
home run of the first half mile Nellie got
even with Butcher Boy and they went past
the stand even. Up the back side Pilot Boy
was pushed iand trotted so fast that he
nearly reached the front when he broke and
dropped to the rear. The heat was close
and sharp one between the leading horses
and was won by aneek. They went under the
wire in the following order: Butcher Boy,
| Nellie B., Black Pilot, Fred S., Lucy A.
| Plumed Knight and Selim were distanced.
| Time-2.39.
Second Heat Butcher Boy went ahead,
| having the inside, closely followed by Nellie
B; On the back stretch, Butcher Boy made
aa Back PO %as Ss last py hofse Se oed
fairly and took the lead passing under the
| wire at the first half a length ahead of Fred.
| Black Pilot continued to trot steady, and
| won the heat handsomely. Nellie came IN
| second, but as she did too much running the
| Judges gave second position to Fred S. In
this heat the horses were well PLACED, as fol
lows: Black Pilot /, Fred S. 2, Nellie B. 3,
Butcher Boy 4, and Lucy A. 5. Time-2 40.
Third Hedt-After a good deal of needless
took the lead, with Fred S. second. Lucy
broke and ran long distance. The heat
was not interesting Black Pilot took and
held long lead, Fred s. was second, and
Lucy was distanced for running. Time
2.435.
Fourth Heat-Black Pilot went to the
front and remained during the heat. Butcher
Boy made good effort, but could not sue
ceed. Fred S. got home second again. This
decided the three minute race, and very
good one it was. Time, 2.443.
Black Pilot took first money, Butcher Boy
second, Fred S. third, and Nellie B. fourth.
In the running race, best two heats in
three, three animals contested, viz:
~ MS. b. M Golden Maxim
John Walsh, st. John, N. b. ms. b, 6. Yorktown
1t was close and exciting struggle
throughout the first heat between Golden
half length. Time, 1.51.
The second and deciding heat was very
close A blanket would have covered both
horses nearly all the MILE Golden Maxim
won by neck. Time, LII.
