THE TRoTTING
The chef sport of Wednesday, and
the business of Thursday was racing.
There was a smart little trot between
Gipsey Maid, w. E. Sherburne's colt,
Stanley, owned by Elmer Robinson,
Warwick, the large Abdallah owned by
John Bean, and Rafael, one of the
trappy Burbank & Williams colts.
The first heat was pretty close between
Rafael and Warwick, but was won by
the former. The Robinson colt is a
sharp gated trotter, but did not stride
far enough for his company; Gipsey
made a good fourth.
The three minute class was trotted
Wednesday; there was much interest
in this contest, which was between
Iron Duke, entered by Prouty & Has
lett, Prince, by w. H. Daniels, Rose
mont, by G. P. Leclerc and Dartmouth,
by G. K Bates. Prince trotted under
protest, but easily won each of the
first three heats. Duke kept second
place easily when he kept his feet. A
four year old contest was trotted by
Minnie, the S. Nye mare, Trusty
Wilkes from the Highland Stock Farm,
and Monarch of Burbank & Williams
stock. Minnie is beautiful animal
and fine trotter and took three
straight heats; Monarch showed sew
eral sharp spurts of speed and will
be heard from later as lively trOtter.
A three-year old race was sand
wiched in with Lady Warren, S. Nye,
Gray Nellie, Burbank & Williams two
year-old, and w. HI. Daniels McKin-
ley Bill. The Lady had it her own way,
Gray Nellie second, and Bill third.
The Lady is lady every inch of her
self, while Nellie showed what good
blood will do for a small colt. There
was splendid running race between
FOld Dick" the T. c. Fisher horse, an
old broncho owned by Flave LaPete,
and a Canadian runner owned by Rufe
Tripp, Old Dick is not in the habit of
getting beaten, but the Broncho was
too many for him, though in the sec
ond heat he bolted and threw his boy
rider to the ground, and Dick got the
heat. The race was finished on Thurs
day morning, Broncho being the win
ner. On Thursday forenoon the stall
lion race was had between Allen
Wilkes, the Abdallah Wilkes horse,
owned by John Bean, Otta Queeche
by John Mathie, and Fleetwood, owned
by T. G. Sargent; it was an easy vic
tory for Allen.
The two thirty five class race prov
ed spirited affair. 1t was trotted by
Mandame, very gamey horse, Jeu-
ME c., the "Gov. Chase' mare from
Lyndon; Prince, a sharp going PAGER
owned by w. HI. Daniels, and Prince
entered by HI. E. Brewster. Jennie
took first heat, Daniels Prince second,
third, and fifth heats, Brewster's
Prince, the fourth. This was one of
the hottest races given.
The two-forty five class trotted on
Thursday, excited considerable inter
est. 1t was fought by Haslett's Iron
Duke, Daniels Prince, John Utton's
Governor Hendee, G. P. Leclerc's Rose
Il1O1O3 y. H. DdbCo NGuIuIn.
In the first heat it was nip and tuck
between the Duke and the Gov, but
was won by Duke; in the second heat |
the Gov. got the lead on the start and
held it to the end, the Duke drawing |
up very close near the finish; in the |
third heat the Gov. kept position,
Medium showing a close second; in |
the fourth trial the Gov. made mag
nificent heat, Duke going to peices in
a bad break, Medium getting second |
place.
The open-t to all race had called some |
excellent trotters to the field; Dia |
mond, the fast Geo. Van Dyke horse, |
said to have record of 2:17, Emma E. |
a down country mare who had re-
cord below the twenties; Silverton,
fast gray, and Edgewood a Canadian |
horse. Diamond was the favorite, |
but Emma had not made the first turn
before she forged ahead; Silverton |
and Edgewood also had close heat;
The second time Emma made a per-
feet heat from start to finish, Diamond
made bad break and fell into fourth |
place, Edgewood meanwhile passing |
Silverton; the third heat was an easy
victory for Emma. The best time
made, 2:25Az, was not remarkable.
