 the 2:2O CIass-Neck and Neck-A
 Horse Ruled of the Track by Dr.
 Adams.
 About three hundred people attended the closing days races at Hamilton Park yester- day, when the unfinished races of the 2:3o and 2:33 classes were trotted and the new race of the 2:20 class pacers. The first race called was for the second heat in the 2:3o class unfinished race and the horses appear ing on the track were Bob, Isolene, Jennie, Frank and Regal. Before the horses started in this heat protest was entered against Bob on the claim that he had record of 2:27 made in Boston, but it was not allowed by the iudges. Then came protest against Isoline for @ record of 2:37 1-2 made at Dan bury and the judges allowed the protest and Isoline was made to trot under protest. Ali ter half an hour spent 1n talking these pro- tests over the horses got away in good shape and at the quarter Jennie led, with lsol1ne second and Bob third going very lame. These positions the horses held until on the homestretch, when Isoline and Bob spurted and the latter went under the wire about sulky length ahead of lsol1ne, who finished second with Jennie third.
 AS Bob. /" who came in first very lame was led off the track, Dr. 0. B. Adams of the So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami mals, stepped up to MT. c. E. Horton, of Waterbury, the owner of Bob, and notified him that he could not run his horse in the next heat as he had trotted the last heat on only three legs, scarcely touching his other foot on the ground.
 When the horses were called for the third heat in this race'' Bob' was led on to the track and the driver had taken his seat, when Dr. Adams stepped forward and put him under arrest. MT. Horton then had which ended in the latter releasing the man from arrest, and as there was no distance to let him walk the horse around the track so that he could take the second money. II should not have ever done that" said the doctor last evening, f'had I known much of the circumstances of the cas as I do now. I afterwards found out that the horse, which is old one, being nearly twenty two years of age, was badly sored up and that for some time he has had to be carried in slings when not lying down. When the horse is taken off the track he is held up in slings and his legs bathed in strong drugs and so numbed until he is wanted for the next race, when he is able to trot for little time until he breaks down again. This is the first time I ever heard of horse being taken off the track in this way" The third and fourth heats of this race were of little interest, they both being taken by Isoline, with Jennie as second each heat. This finished the race, as Isoline had won a heat Thursday. SUMMARY.

 The entries for the 2:20 class pacers were Jack, Sallie c. and Bay Jim. In this race in the first heat Jack took the lead with Sallie c. second and Bay Jim third. These posi- tions the horses held throughout, Jack going under the wire about neck ahead of Sallie G. who finished second. The second heat was uninteresting until on the homestretch, when Bay Jim drew up on Jack, who was leading and they came down the stretch neck and neck and so went under the wire, and the judges declared it dead heat. The third heat Jack won again with no trouble, Salle c. who finished second coming in some distance behind him. The fourth heat Jack also won and thus won the race and first money.
