BUFFALO, N, Y, August s.-tSpecial Tele-
gram 10 The BEE. The match between
Harry Wilkes and Belle Hamlin drew an i'm
mense crowd to the grand circuit races this
afternoon. AZ matter OF fact, the chief
card was not at, )all interesting, as Harry
Wilkes was mob himself, and the Buffalo
mare tripped sway from him In both heats,
the first in 2;l7, and the second 2:17k, a
slow mile for q, pair OF crack trotters. Bet
ting was In tho geldings favor before the
start at odds of IS TO 90, but it was 10 70
on Belle Hamffn nfter the first heat. Harry
Wilkes was driven under the whip In both
miles, but was not able to get near enough
70 be dangerous after the first half OF the
first heat.
The other events were exceptionally good
and furnished the finest sport ever seen at
this track. The unfinished events were
ended by heat each by Wilkes landing the
free-for-all pace with little trouble, as he
came out much the best of the three left in
the race. Greylight had an easy victory IN
the 2:s0 class, and the former favorite, Jack,
was unsteady ana much out OF form. Then
came the match, which was finished before
any other classes were called.
After this the stake for 2:A trotters was
called, with Hendryx n big favorite and a
large sum OF money In the auction pools on
HIM at odds OF i've to four. But Hendryx
was not in the race, while the grey stallion,

record to date. Aloryon Is totally blind, but
he went steadily and was never headed in
nny heat Gean Smith sustained his reputa-
tion in the 2:lS class after O hard battle with
his feet opponents. All the heats were
rapid, the second in 2:16k, being the fastest
Gean was winning the fourth heat easily
when he lost his stride, 80 that he had to go
another mile before victory was his.
The sensational event was the stake for
four-year-olds. Marie Jansen was the
favorite, but McEwap. q chestnut stallion
from Tennessee, landed the race in straight
heats. In the first he came from third place,
passed Gillig and .outtrotted Jansen on the
homestretch. making the mile in 2:19. he
made the next heat in 2:191S and the third in
good time.
The meeting ends tomorrow with the 2:33
