ned. The horse fell and turned
over but was not hurt. II was
some time after 2 O'Clock when
THE RACES
were called. Including the foot
race there were FIVE events on the
programme. The first, 2:3s trot,
was one of the prettiest racing ex-
hibitions ever seen On the ground.
There were eleven entries, but only
nine horses started, as follows:
Bob White, Billy H., Dick
Glenn, Ayres' 'Hambletonian, Lady
c., Poeny, Friendless, George K.
and Willie f. Bob White started
under protest, but, although he
showed himself TO be a superior
trotter, failed to win the race.
First heat.-Bob White leading,
the party scored in bunch after
several Intellectual attempts. The
crowd was well punched, Friend
less at the tail. Lady e. was
second, a very short distance an d
Carter's Hamblelonian was a
mighty good third. At the quarter
poll matters stood very much the
same and ut the half Bob was still
leading, with Dick Glenn and
Hambletonian a good second. At
the three quarter pole Friendless
did not belle his name for he was
hopelessly in the rear. Bob was
maintaining his lead, with Ham
bletonian closing up the gap.
Down the home stretch there was
a pretty race between Lady c.,
Hambletonian and Bob, the latter
coming under the wire a neck
ahead. Time 2:36 10.
Second heat.-After eight trips
down the stretch the party got
away well punched. Bob White
was leading again, Willie F. push
ing him closely, Lady c., third and
Hambletonian fourth. At the
quarter pole all were punched as
on the start. Willie was fighting
for first place at the three-fourths
mark and down the stretch, on
Bob's break, gained enough LEAD to
win the heat. Time, 4:2S 1-2.
Third heat.-After the usual tire
some effort to score Willie led the
party away from the judges stand,
with George K. second, Bob White
third and Poeny fourth. George
forged ahead of Willie by a nose
with Bob a close third. At the
half mark the leading horses were
this way: Willie, George, Bob,
Dick Glenn, Poeny, Hambletonian.
At the three-fourths Hamble-
tonian took third place and amidst
the wild shouts of the immense
crowd of spectators Willie f.,
Poeny and Hambletonian came un-
der the wire in the order named.
Fourth heat.-The fourth heat
was as interesting as the others,
but bad accident on the back
stretch detracted from the interest.
Willie lead the party away with
Hambletonian second. Every inch
of the last mile was fought for, the
horses passing under the wire in
this order Willie F., Hamble-
tonian, Lady G. and Bob White,
with Friendless far behind.
