cluster of society people who there OBJ
tanned an unequaled view OF the track
from start to finish. AS already stated,
the club house is not yet completed. but
it is so far advanced as to give full
promise of its future beauty.
1t was the general comment that the
races were beauties. The hOrseheSh
was not only good, but tho contests
were spirited in every heat and the
races unsettled until the very end. OF
course there were the usual yeXatious de-
lays and the long drawnout heats, keep
ing the crowd until past Z o'clock. but
those seem inevitable in harness race.
There was perhaps no excuse for the
fact that it was well on toward o'clock
before the first heat was trotted, but a
fine of $40 imposed upon delinquent
driver was for the purpose of appeaSing
the clamoring multitude. The officers
of the day were:
Starter-A w. McEIroy.
Judges-Fred PillsDury, 1. j. Ijams, John
W. COnley.
Timers-Bruno Beaupre, D. NJ. Clough.
A Stake TrOt.
The first race, a 500 minute trot for
stake of $4,000, was undoubtedly the
event of the day, though won in straight
heats. There were eight starters, and
every starter was after the purse. Har-
vey. the pretty bay gelding from Dem
yer. was strong favOrite against the
field, but the betting, which began.
pretty lively, fell off a little, from the
fact that the mountaineerS saw it was
all against one and possibility OF a
job. The race was marked by fatality
in the closing heat, Dan Gaines. a val
liable bay, owned by Smith & Russell,
of La Crosse, fell dead in the stretch
choked to death. His driver escaped.by
leaping, and skilfful driving saved these
in the rear. Dan was worth at least
5000 and had been in prime condition.
The delay in starting was caused by
Hamdallah Star, refractory stallion
which seemed unmanageable. His
driver was fined $40 for delay and then
brought his animal to its place. Mar
shall drew the pole. with Cyclone, HIS

Harvey and Dan Gaines in order. The
entire race was in the opening heat.
Harvey had bunch of wheels to get
through. but took the lead, and, though
the pace was hot, was never headed and
won the heat. The second heat brought
out the best burst of speed, and the
little Iowa mare, Marshall, compelled
Harvey to s'hump HIMSELF to the time
of :221z to get the heat by a neck. In
third heat the driver was changed on
Actress. but the light filly did not i'm
prove her position. Harvey won easily,
taking the heat and the race, Cyclone
getting second money and Mary Mar
shall third. Summary:

The Pace.
Four steppers came out for the pace,
and got together for very pretty exhi-
bition. They were Red Rover. C W L.
Star Gaines and w Fl, driving in the
order named. w 81, the Denver geld
ing, was strong favorite, but weakened
after the first heat. A report that the
race was fixed had tendency to weaken
it's hackers, but the result showed it to
be without foundation. In the opening
heat the favorite gotta bad start, and Star
Gaines got so long lead that the heat
seemed his for certainty, but G L w
cOIlared him in the stretch and went in
wi nner, with the favorite third. The
second heat was beauty. w 81 got

race. The judges divided On whether
these conditions were met, but it be-

four horses started in the final heat.
w 81, after break at the start, recov-
cred and took the lead, but both broke
and swerved in the stretch. After
questioning the drivers the judges de-
cided that W Ii had neither gotten an
advantage nor impeded the other horses,
so the judges awarded him the heat and

The Special Trot
was very pretty race, in which the
three starters were SO equally matched
that each took heat and each took
every place in the five heats. Black
Diamond was the tavorite at slight odds,
even after he came in last in the first
heat. The Denver crowd had deserted
the betting ring and sporting was
rather light in consequence, though the
Diamond got what money was going.
The black gelding was somewhat I'M
manageable. which occasioned the loss
of the first and third heats; but the
point of the race was really the struggle
for second money, which was finally
carried off by Kit Curry. Summary:
