2.a6 cIAss-puRsE S16O.

Time-2.351s, 2.41, 2.46.
The event of the day was the trot between
the four-year-olds. There were three starters,
all young stations, with good equine lineage,
trasing back to some Of the best trottinglblood
in the country. and their drivers were all
ambitious for their favorites.
In drawing for positions Gaywood won /,
Westwood 2, and Westland 3.
The first heat was taken by Westland with
out much trouble in 2.45,
interesting and eventful. 1t had been
a well contested heat with some break
ing by all the horses, and Westwood getting
the worst of his skitting by losing heavily
and it was with nip and tuck between Gay
wood and Westwood, with the latter per-
haps the best of it as they neared the home
stretch when the horse was swerved across
Gaywood's position in apparently fragrant
manner; For this the judges promptly
to tho stable as expressed in trestins
parlance. There was an earnest amount of
'kickipg" upon the part of the driver but
the opinion of good horsemen was that 1t
was strictly in accordance with the rules and
eminently just in the present instance. 1t
being represented to the judges that all in
terested in the other two horses were willing
for Westwood to start again, they were
called up when one of the owners of West
land objected.
This left but two contestants and the
third heat was taken by Gaywood In 2.44.
For the fourth heat there was a change of
drivers. Westland had been pulling about
80 pounds or more overweight, and Frank
Fox of Cornish was seated behind him, and
although he had never driven the horse be-
fore, landed him winner in 2.42. There
was great excitement among the spectators
throughout manifest in almost continu-
GUS vociferation. 1t was close and pretty
heat and won by half length.
1t became so dark that the finish of this
race was postponed until tomorrow at 1.30
