 The threh vdays' trotting meeting com menced at the Derby Driving Park yesterday afternoon. A large number of New Haven men were at the races as one of the best classes of the meeting with two New Haven trotters for competitors was on the pro- gramme. J. v. Wightman, E. W. ToIles and A. F. Sherwood oficiated as judges of the trotting.
 The first race called was the 2:50 class. Billy waa the favorite in some of the pools sold before the start, at $5 to $10 for the field. The five starters got the word readily when Ed. Cernea showed indications of win- ming the heat until the horses came into the homestretch, when Daisy Kent took the lead without opposition from Ed. Cernea. Some of the spectators thought Mr. Doty, the driver of Ed. Cernea, did not try to win the heat.
 Jimmie B. was the favorite of few of the pool buyers before the second heat, which was won easily by Daisy Kent. Before the third heat was started the judges put N. D. Baldwin in the sulky be- hind Lady Rix. Lady Rix took the lead ear- ly in the race and won the heat easily.
 At this time Lady Rix was the choice of the betting men who paid $15 to $10 for the field. Daisy Kent won the race as will be seen by the following SUMMARY

Several of the spectators desired to sec another driver behind Rocket, but MT. Doolittle, the driver of Rocket, refused to change although re- quested to do so George Nelson, who was asked to drive the horse, consented to do so. Mollie Mitchell won the second heat easily, with Rocket close at the finish. SUMMARY. 2:27 CIass-Purse $200. Mollie Mitchell, m, J, E. Hubinger l l Rocket, bl g, J. A. Doolttle. ......--
