Two.THIRTY RACE-TKoTTING.
Second heat-It was evident after the
first heat of this race that the CONTEXT
WAS for blood and this made it highly
interesting. When the horses we're
called up for the second heat excite
ment ran high. 1t was known that on
Saturday night Edgswood had sold
fayorite in the pools and much money was
in the box, but yesterday afternoon things
suddenly changed and Little Frank
sold as first choice, with small odds.
Betting men seemed to have been stag
Rersd by this move and not much money
changed hands, except on the first sale
of pools. The horses took their ap-
propriate places and after scoring twice
went under the wire with a fair start
and the heat was altogether the pref
test of the day. In this heat
Edgewood chased Little Frank
hard, it being discovered that Kittie
@. could not touch him. Frank trotted
every step, and while the others broke
frequently skipped. Edgewood passed
him onse during the last half, but broke
badly and Frank came home well in the
head, with Edgewood pushing him hard
and Kittie a good third. Time 2:43.
Third heat-The excitement ran even

Little Frank kept his head, and in spite
of the fact that Edgewood chased him
hard, he was first at every mark on the
course, coming under the wire at fht

winning the heat in 1856 the best time
of the day and good speed to show IL
