MUD FLEW FROM HURRYING HOOFS
AS the Field CIrcIed Around the Track
at Lewiston.
Three Straight Heats Gave Victory to
BOB a Portland Horse.
The Leaders Gallant Struggle In 1.-THE
t Free-for-AlI.
Especial TO the Press.l


LEWISTON, June 27.-Copious showers
interfered somewhat with the third days
trotting of the Androscoggin Driving Asso-
citation.
The track which had been In such elegant
shape for the two previous days became a
solid mass Of Shiny mud, especially the pole
nearest the grand stand, so that the pole
horse was obliged to take two widths. The
time was good under the circumstances, but
would have been much better on same track
as yesterday. Good judges estimated the
difference to be three or four seconds.
The attendance was larger than on any
previous day, but promised to be much
larger had not the rain interfered.
In the 2.45 class the first race trotted. the
field was good one and Barney L.won hon.
ors by winning and Black Helmont, the Fair
field stallion. had nothing TO be ashamed Of
at second place.
In the free-for-all race the contest was un-
doubtedly for blood. Maggie G. Midd Teton
was great fayorite, and Mamie w. was not
far behind.
The first two heats fully sustained the
crowds choice Of fayorite, but the third
heat brought surprise.
This heat deserves particular mention, as
1t was probably the gamiest contest ever wit
messed in the Pine Tree State
At the start Maggie gets little dizzy and
surrenders the lead to Charles A. The black
horse takes beautiful lead and trots away
from the field. Mamie w. is up in the sec
got got to trailing. AT Nis' the one-quar' @ as
ter pole the first time around,
the three leaders are well up together and
they trot evenly to the wire at the hall, when
Mamie w. makes race up the back stretch.
The last time round Mamie w. gains on
Charles A, but is driven beyond her speed,
place. From here home Maggie M. has no
hopes of winning. neither has Mamie, but
Gen. Starks looms up as possible winner.
Chas. A. Is straining every nerve to reach
the wire, but when he comes by the flag
Starks keeps him close company. Little by
leader. At:his collar; neck to neck they trot
down the stretch, and the General shoots
under the wire a neck in advance.
The fourth heat also results in victory for
the General.
