heat was repeated and everybody is SURF
that Mckinney will land the race.
The time by quarters was 0:35, :O9la
1 :43, 2:17.
FOURTH HEAT.
Before the fourth heat is called the
weather changes and it becomes so
foggy and chilly as to be uncomfortable,
Mckinney sells at 500 against the tielo
for So. Frank NJ. takes the lead IRON
the word. Mckinney is going lame
and slacks up a little on the
first turn. Silas Skinner leads at the
quarter, but his advantage is slight.
Mckinney goes up amongst them, and
Frank M. draws away and is leading at
the half, with Wanda at his sulky. Silas
Skinner is on theoutside, and Mckinney
is between him and the fence. Durfee
almost PULLS up and crosses the track,
then starts after the leaders. He is
coming very fast around the turn, and
it looks as though he will collar Frank
NJ, but the latter finishes half length
ahead of him, in 2:1916. The quarters
were made in 03519, l;l0, l 40, l91a.
Durfee goes up in the judges stand
Immediately upon getting down from
his suIky and protests the heat, stating
that be was fouled on the backstretch.
The claim is that Frank NJ. lead him
with Skinner and Wanda OH the outside
and that the two latter crowded him in
back of Frank NJ, making it impossible
to get a fair show. After some con-
sideration the Judges awarded the heat
and first money to Mckinney, Frank M.
getting second money. The announce
ment is received with cheers by the i'm
mense crowd which focks about the
stand and the great race is over.
In an interview with a HERALD re-
porter last evening Mr.. Heating, the
owner and driver of Frank M, stated
that he did not think he received fair
treatment by the decision of the judges
on the last heat of the free-for-all trot.
In speaking of the foul claimed by Mr..
Durfee after the last heat, Mr.. Keat-
ing said he was in the lead
with Wanda almost even and Silas
Skinner close up to the sulky. The
latter was on the outside of the track
when Mckinney came up with big
burst and tried to get between Frank M.
and Wanda, but the horses were not far
enough apart for him to do so. Nc
Kinney tried to get between Frank M.
and the pole, but there was not enough
room there, and he was compelled to cross
the track. Mr.. Keating stated that he
would not have objected to being beaten
but thought it rather hard to lose the
race by the decision.
He offers to back bis horse in a single
handed match with Mckinney for $1,000
to $500 a side, the race to take place
after Frank NJ. has concluded his en-
at Woodland and to be trotted
over any track in the state except that
in this city.
Mr.. Keating filed protest against the
de cision last evening.
SIXTH RACE.
The sixth race is trotting event for
Adelaide McGregor, Vera
and Native State score for the word and
are sent away head and head. Vera at
once takes the lead, but breaks on the
first turn, and Adelaide McGregor takes
the lead. McGregor leads by five lengths
at the quarter, Vera second. The Rose
flly breaks again on the backstretch
and is passed by Native State. AT the
half Adelaide McGregor still has five
lengths the best OF it and it looks as
though Vera will be distanced. Nc
Gregor is twelve lengths ahead at the
head OF the stretch and draws right
away as they come to the wire, winning
by at least twenty lengths, Native State
second, Vera last. Time, 2 :2934.
Second heat-The word is given to an
even start. Vera breaks on the first
turn and McGregor leads Native State
six lengths at the quarter pole, Vera be-
ing a long distance behind. Adelaide
McGregor breaks to a standstill on tie
backstretch and is passed by both the
others, Native State leading Vera. At
the half the order is the same. McGre-
gor breaks again and Vera passes Native
State and leads on the turn by an open
length. Adelaide McGregor is coming
very fast as they enter the stretch, but
can't catch Vera, who wins from Native
State by a length. Time, 2 35.
Third heat Adelaide McGregor goes
away in the lead, and at the quarter is
ten lengths ahead, Native State being
last by reason of nasty break on the
turn. They have procession along the
Adelaide McGregor going
