Cleo did not make a showing. while
Billy Mack and Bismarck had tussle
for the first position. Bismarck was
first round to the third quarter, when he
fell back to third place, and Billy
Mack finished first. SilaS Wright second,
The fourth heat of the 2:25 was an eX-
citing one. The horses got off well, and
the favorites, Billy Mac and Clio, were
soon seen to fall to the rear. while Bis
marck. who had come within an ace OF
winning the second heat. went well to
the front. He was not to take the heat.
however. as a new claimant, SilaS
Wright. came surging to the front. Up
the back stretch the race was hummer
between these two. Silas was on the
outside. but making tremendous time,
while Bismarck, near the pCle, was
squirting his best to save the heat. They
came under the wire so nearly
even that half the people who
could see fairly shouted dead heat"
1t was nothing of the kind, however, as
Silas Wright had an appreciable lead,
and the judges, after pause of several
minutes, during which they passed adj
versely upon a claim of Bismarck'S
driver, that Wright had skipped on the
finish, gave the heat to Silas Wright.
The time was 2:2515. In the fifth Bis
MACK started with all the determine
ton of his iron namesake to win. He
led by two lengths at the quarter, but
there began to discover strong rivals in
Tholberg, Silas Wright and Rarely.
The latter lost his chances by
going off his feet near the half.
Tholberg broke near the last quarter
and SilaS Wright took advantage of his
competitors flying qualities to appro-
pirate the heat, winning handily under
the guidance of Driver Mccarthy, who
showed himself master of the situation.
Bismarck made a fair second. The
time was fast, 2:23H. This heat re-
suited in retiring all the horses tha5
had not taken heats, and leaving SilaS
Wright, Billy Mac and Cleo to finish
the race. The sixth heat decided it in
favor of the old favorite Silas Wright,
who came around without skip, win
ming in 2:254. Cleo was not in the
contest, but Silas Wright and Billy
Mac had a splendid contest, trOt
ting neck and neck from the
half to the three-quarters pole. Even
there they declined to part company.
and came up the last stretch neck and
neck, while the spectators stood up in
the grand stand and cheered them. On
came Wright, trOtNng like machine,
and Billy Mac. with a little less steady
gait. About thirty yards from the fin
iSh foot went in the air. and with it
Billy's chance for first money. Wright
passed under the wire in splendid form,
a winner by length. The first money
went to Wright, second cleo, who
won the first and second heats, third to
Billy Mac and fourth to Bismarck.

THE FREE-FOR-ALL RACE.
The shades of evening were falling
when the free-for-all pace was started
with Wilcox, Tommy Linn, LOrene. Ar
gyle and Bessemer entered. The fast
PAGERS went off in great form with LOr
enc in the lead, and going very fast,
Wilcox second, making an etfectual eff
fort to Overtake the black mare. BeSSe-
mer, who got poor start. trailed in the
rear to the half. when he began to pull
forward, and at the three-quarters took
the lead and won the heat easily. The
second heat showed a bad start. but
Splan nodded for the word. though he
was away behind with Argyle, and off
they went. Wilcox soon showed speed,
and gained slowly on Tommy Linn. At
the half he had reduced the distance
between them, and at the three-quarters
wiped it out entirely. Coming up the
last quarter Wilcox held the lead, while
Argyle and BeSSemer went all to pieces
and ran like Spokane and Proctor
Knott. In their efforts to pull the ami
mails down the drivers succeeded in dis
tancing both of them. At the end of
this heat the race was postponed until
to-day, when it will be finished.
One heat of the match between J. B.
Richardson and WhiteStOcking was
