The feature number on the programme
was balloon ascension and parachute
leap by Louis Graden. 1t was an ex-
cellent ascension, but it was marred by
an accident. The leap was made from
distance of 5000 feet. When the para
chute had lowered to within twenty
five feet of the ground Graden became
nervous because of the near prog
unity of the park fence, towards
which the parachute was fast drifting,
under the influence of a strong breeze.
Immediately beyond this fence was a
copse of wood. He was in great peril,
and he Tossed his grasp and dropped
like shot to the field. He was badly
hurt, but not fatally.
The attendance was still larger than
on the preceding or opening day.
The 2:35 trOt came on first. There
were five starters, and they drew posi-
tons in the following order: Herman
H. the pole; Happy Pilot, second;
Julian, third, Milton, fourth; Lucy K,
fifth; Maggie Sherman, sixth. Asgreat
deal of difficulty was experienced in
scoring, and Maggie was sent
off on break. Lucy was
foxy. She scored like fOur-time win
ner, and had quite bit the best of it.
She forged ahead with the word and
captured the pole with the field inter-
estingly punched. Milton, the favOrite.

Telegram gathered himself and came
up to second place only to break again
and fall back. Johnny Smoker, mean
while, was 200 yards behind Mac. He
then came fast and furious, but
was too late. Rocky II came down
the stretch fast and strong under whip
and captured the heat by forcing Mac
off his feet at the distance flag. Mac
was second, Smoker third, Tempest n
fourth, Telegram fifth, ESttle Joe sixth,
