SPRINGFIELD, Sent 2-Hampden Park sell
dom draws crowd for the beginning OF it's
Grand Circuit meeting. and the rule held good
to.day. though the weather was tempting
enough in itself and one Of tho events at least
promised good snort. As It turned out how
ever. neither OF the two classes resulted 10 any
thing OF special note. as the horses that were
backed most heavily were superior TO their
fields, and both won without much trouble.
Soudan, a brown ReldiuR by Combat, landed
the 80 class, and got into the fast list at the
snme time. though his driver seemed more
anxious TO save q record than to make one.
His Efforts to lose the first heat were unsuc-
cessful. but he certainly dropped the second
one, and thus delrauded those who backed his
horse in tho mutuals and books The judges
should have declared bets of. but they were
derelict In projecting those who had tickets or
Soudan. Steyie won his third consecutive VIC
tory in the 2:20 class In az many weeks. but
had q comparatively easy race, as Miss Alice.

field 81. Lucretia drew the place next tho
rail- but could not keep It Greenlight outfoot-
