FINISHED TODAY.
The 2:21 Trot Stands Over Un-
completed Owing to Rain.
The interest of the day centered in
the 2:21 trot. Phoebe Wilkes and Cy-
clone gelding were drawn, leaving seven
starters, and it was hard matter to
pick winner. Senator OswaId's big
gated gelding, Greenleaf, was the
favOrite in betting circles. and the spec
ulatlve people based their judgment on
the horses past performances. While
he had legitimate right to start in this
class, he has shown speed this year that
would win many seconds faster. But
he did not win, although he was right
up with the van when race was taken
in 2:15. That was enough to make him
esteemed a good thing. Pedro l. was
second choice as rule, although Hart
ford had his friends. Then came Cad
Wade, the Milwaukee millionaire brew
er's pride, and Joslyn IL Schutte's First
Call. 1t was desperate battle, all in
all, and the race was postponed when
wind storm, accompanied by rain, drove
the spectators into shelter. First Call
took the word first, with Pedro l.
scarcely nose worse Off. and Hartford
was not neck away. SpurgeOn went
Off his feet and gave a bad exhibition.
So they trOtted around the turn. Spur
geOn and Greenleaf fell back and con-
tented themselves with trailing. At
the first quarter First Cal, had pushed
ahead some three lengths away from
Joslyn. who led Cad Wade, and Hart
ford was trotting fourth and Greenleaf
away in the rear. But Spurgeon was a
little further back and breaking with
Pedro l.. First Call entered the stretch
first, with JoSlyn coming up fast, and
Hartford was doing very nicely in third
place. Greenleaf had worked his way
up little closer. The leaders stood in
the same order at the half and Green
leaf was almost on level terms with Cad
Wade. Spurgeon was running. In this
way they went around the turn to the
three-quarters, where First Call had
length to the good over Joslyn. Cad
Wade came third and Greenleaf fourth.
They finished at Jog, First Call first,
Joslyn second, Cad Wade third. Green
leaf fourth. Pedro l. fifth, Hartford sixth
and Spurgeon last. Time, 2:22.
First Call took neck the lead at the
start in the next heat, Cad Wade com
ing second, Joslyn third, and Pedro l.
fourth out on the outside. First Call
broke on the turn, but lost not an inch

Spurgeon with burst came up from
the bunch and took third place, with
Pedro fourth. Into the stretch First
Call had saddle better than Cad Wade,
who was leading Pedro l. by nearly a
length. Pedro shot past to second
place on the straight, and Cad Wade
passed First Call at the half. First
Call went to pieces, and could not re-
cover himself All the way around the
turn he broke, and he gained every
time he broke, until he was well up
with the leader, and then he showed
first into the stretch, with Pedro L
scarcely neck behind and First Call
trOtting third. 1t was an inspiriting
race to the wire. Cad Wade and Pedro
l. came neck and neck the entire dis
tance. The judges gave the heat to the
former, First Call third, Joslyn fourth,
Spurgeon fifth, Greenleaf sixth, and
Hartford last. Time, 2:2lM.
Pedro L started out fast in the third
heat, leading Cad Wade and First Call
in order by neck each. Pedro swung
around the turn first with the other two
close up, and JOslyn fourth and Green
leaf fifth. In this order they went at
rattling clip down the back stretch, but
seemed to slow up on the upper turn.
Pedro was carrying Cad Wade on his
wheel and First Call was close Pedro
showed an open space when he trotted
into the home stretch, but Cad Wade
was quickly up almost level.
First Call and JOslyn had an interest
ing trOt for a few minutes, when Green
leaf came past them with a tremendous
rush. Pedro l. won the heat, Cad
Wade second- Joslyn third, Greenleaf
fourth, First Call fifth, Spurgeon fifth,
and Hartford last. Time, 2:23

heat, and Greenleaf came second, bul
quickly fell back. Joslyn was third,
but he broke and a collision occurred at
the turn with First Call, and Garrity,
driving Joslyp, claimed that First Cali
was culpabie. Pedro LIS nose showed
the turn with Joslyn swinging around
on his neck, and First Call third and
Cad Wade fourth. Greenleaf loafed
along with Charley Niles at will. 1t
was a beautiful battle down the straight.
Pedro l. had neck to the good over
.Joslyn, with First Call well Tapped and
Cad Wade was on the others wheel,
but Cad lost his feet and retired
length before the half was reached. At
this station Pedro l. had the advantage
by saddle. Joslyn was second, First
Call third, Cad Wade fourth and Green
leaf ten lengths behind. Pedro l. and
Joslyn swept around the turn head and
head. and a cheer went up from the
crowd as Pedro's gray nose showed first
into the stretch. Cad Wade came up
fast ana was soon III the swim, followed
by First Call. Then it was a driving
finish. Pedro L and Joslyn came un-
der the whip for the wire, and from the
| reporters stand it looked as though
Pedro had it by nose, but the Judges
thought differently and declared it
dead heat. Cad Wade third, First Call
fourth and Greenleaf last. Time, 2:23.
A furious gale came up during the
wait for the next heat, and the rain
soon drove the audience under shelter.
and Starter Grattan postponed the race
until this afternoon at l O'Clock. The
