Tho Races.
The races were delayed for about half An
owners. The owners OF slower horses were
afraid OF Charles A. and j. B. Clark with
drew him. There was another Clark In the
race however and some time was wasted In
trying to show that they were not one and
the sane. Three horses finally appeared
and drew positions, Billy Boy the pole, Dick
Clark second and Oakdale Dot the outside.
Ira Woodbury. steered Billy Boy but even
that could not overcome the lack OF fitting OF
the horse and his place was the end OF the
race. Oakdale Dot was an easy, level trotter
and might have Won everything and dis
tanced the field but the driver managed TO be
about neck and neck with Dick Clark, break
ing once In the third heat and letting ths big
horse by although only for second or two.

The free-for-a II was a fighting race from
the start. Three horses appeared, the Bruns-
wick stallion Charlie Ray, Stanwood's win
ner Grey Dick and Scott JOrdan's tearing
mare. Dolly IL. In the first heat. Dolly lead
until the hill on the back Stretch when She
broke and Gray Dick shot ahead, holding the
lead until Charlie Ray, by a magnificent
burst Of speed, headed the others and won BY
three Lengths.
In the second heat there was good deal
OF scoring all OF the drivers being afraid OF
each other and none being disposed to give
any advantage. Dolly II. broke at the word
and ran to beyond the turn. Gray Dick
passed Ray on the back stretch owing to a
bad break by the stallion and althouoh
Woodbury. did his level best to get his horse
In In good shape he kept on running at inter
walls to the end. On the last Ian eomina
down the stretch he let him out and came In
about three feet ahead with Dolly Ii. far be-
hind. Owing to the breaks by the stallion
he was set back to the end aud GRAY DICE
took the heat, the fastest ever trOtted on the
track.
The third heat was a good deal like the
second. The stallion made frequent breaks
and lost by them, so that although Woodbury.
sent him at the finish and headed Gray Dick
At the wire, the Stanwood horse was given
the heat.
In the fourth heat Jordan made long run
on on the first lap. closing up the track SO that
woodbury. was Ia pocket and could not pass
into tue pole as he was trying to do, Finally
cray Dick went off his balance and shot out
sidewise, leaving hole large enough for
Charley Ray. The stallion slid ahead and
won the heat and race. The summary.
