1t was expected that the free-for-all race
would be an exciting event, and in this no
one was disappointed, it taking five holly
contested heats to decide it. There were six
entries and five came to the wire for the
word. The names of the horses, and the
order in which they started was as as fol-
lows: Nellie NJ, Rockland Boy, Bijou,
Carrie T., and Gilbreth Maid. After consid-
cradle scoring the horses got a good send off
and went to the first quarter at rafting
pace, Carrie t. leading in 363 seconds, a 2.26
clip. Nellie M. made gallant struggle and
came under the wire slightly in the lead of
Carrie T Nellie NJ, however, was set back
to the second place for running. Mr.. Haines,
and wished to draw his horse, but the judges
would not allow him to do So Gilbreth
Maid was third, Rockland Boy fourth and
Bijou fifth. In the second heat the horses
had another fiue start, and went round the
first turn at fast pace. The field of horses
was well together dnring the entire qeat, and
the finish was a very close and exciting one.
Bijou, which had finished last in the first
heat was the winner by scarcely a nose and
so close was the finish that many thought
the heat between he aud Carrie T. was a
dead one. Carrie I. was given second place,
Gilbreth Maid third, Nellie M. fourth and
Rockland Boy fifth. The heat was trotted
in the fast time 2314 which considering the
gay was equal TO Z.0U OF D6pU6r.
The third heat was as close and exciting
as the two previous and was won by Bijou,
Gilbreth Maid second, Carrie Il. third Nellie
M, fourth and Rockland Boy fifth. In the
fourth heat Carrie I. came to the wire first,
with Nellie M. second, Bijou third, Rockland
Boy fourth, while Gilbreth Maid had to be
content with the fifth position. Bijou and
Carrie T. had now two heats each and the
spectators awaited the result of the fifth
heat with great interest. Considerable feel
lug had been engendered during the race, land
when the bell called for the fifth heat each
driver mounted his sulky with determin-
alton to win if possible. After considerable
scoring the word was given and
at the pole, Nellie M. second, Bjou
Maid fifth. On the first turn the sullkies of
Nellie M. and Bijou collided and there was a
crashing of spokes, but no great damage was
done. The horses were well punched during
the heat, and it was not an easy matter to
predict which would be the winner There
was sharp brush between Carrie L. and
Bijou, and with great burst of speed Gil
breth Maid closed on the leaders Down the
last stretch on the way home the Maid, Car
RE L. and Bijou were almost neck and neck,
but the latter seemed to have the most re-
serve power, and passed under the wire the
winner Of the heat and race. Gilbreth Maid
finished close up to Bijou with Carrie L.
third Rockland Boy fourth, and Nellie M.
fifth. 1t was the verdict of all present that
the race was one of the finest ever seen at
