THE RACES

At Elm City Park-Two Races Won by Favorites-Local Horses to Trot this Afternoon-The Races to Close To-Day.
 The announcement that Elm City park would be free to the public yesterday caused large attendance at the races dur ing the afternoon. Within the grand stand enclosure were several hundred spectators and large number of them were from out of the city. According to estimate nearly half of these spectators were not residents of New Haven.
 Among those present were: T. D. Palm CT of Stonington, owner of the trotters Ethel and Happy Go-Lucky; Stephen Lowe of Waterbury, w. B. Lockwood and E. A. Woodward, president and secretary of the Norwalk association; George Lindley of the Derby association, J. Goldhurst of New York, w. R. Keeler of Belle Ridge farm, Ridgefeld, Conn.,; John Hard of Stratford.
 The horses whose names appear in the summary were announced to start in the 2:33 class for the purse of $250. The bay trotter Roland sold in the pools at about $25 against about an equal amount for the field.
 In the first heat Roland was not steady, but he was first under the wire on a run at the finish trife ahead of Lady Thomp- son. As the latter had not made break during the mile, and as the pool favorite had made two breaks, the judges gave the heat to Lady Thompson. Roland won the next three heats easily.
 In the third heat the winner was so closely crowded by Archie B. that he was IL l. las. mark was 2:324, but he is now eligible to the 2:31 class, as he trotted the heat re- ferred to in 2:30A The money was won as follows: $125 to Roland, $62.50 to Lady Thompson, $37.5O to Archie B., $25 to Gerold.
