After one of the most delightful
weeks on record Saturday morning
opened cloudy and wet. Great
masses of rain laden clouds hid the
sun and a steady downpour during
the early morning kept everybody
indoors. The rain stopped shortly
before noon and in a few minutes
the sun had appeared. 1t was toe
late to do any good, however, and
it was a very slim crowd that at.
tended the races in the afternoon.
Five events were laid down, but
only three of them came off. The
track was slow and muddy and
much time was consumed in get.
ting the horses off in good shape
The free for all trot and the run.
ming race were declared of on &C.
count of the lateness of the hour.
The free for all stallion trot was
one of the most remarkable races
ever trotted. Good time was
made for a track of mud and il
took six heats to locate the money
A decision was made in the second
heat that was received with yell:
of derislon from the audience
Marshall T. came under the wire q
winner by a length, having trotted
to all appearances, a square mile
After few moments the board was
hung out giving him "third place
tor running" The decision was
called rank by everyone who saw
the heat. The summary:
