Gray Bayard Beats the Track
Record.
The $3.50 Pace The Event of
Wednesdays Races.
j. Van Marter Captures the Three
Minute Trots
q
Don Payne Wins the 2:3O Pace Alter
Lively Race.

The races yesterday were certainly sue
cessful and every man who attended was
pleased with the days sport. The attend
ance was good, the horses fleet and the
track fast. The entries for to-day and to.
morrow indicate that even better races
than those Of yesterday may be expected.
Yesterday the track record OF 2:25 was
beaten by Gray Bayard, who paced it in
2:24A. This is a remarkable feat. The
track record was made by Sleepy George,
and has never been lowered, although sew
oral attempts have been made. Rally
Wilkes by Allie Wilkes entered by
DR.. j. V. Newton of Toledo, came under
the wire second in the heat won by Gray
Bayard in 2:24A. He paced the mile in
2:26% without a skip. This is a wonderful
feat, considering the fact that he is only
fou1 years old. 2:2i44 on the Canton track
is equal to 2 lis on the Cleveland course.
Nothing occurred yesterday to in any
way mar the pleasure OF the occasion.
There were no serious accidents, in fact
only one minor mishap, In the second
neat OF the 2:3O pace, in making the first
turn the sulky drawn by Gray Bayard and
the one OF Rally Wilkes came together.
A spoke was taken Out Of Wilkes sulky
but no further damage was done. On the
next turn Maud Z. and Gray Bayard came
together. The gulEy drawn by Gray Bay.
ard was badly demolished and the fright
ened horse went twice around the track,
with only one wheel on the sulky. The
driver was thrown, but was not hurt. The
horse was not seriously injured and came
in and took the next heat.
The gentlemen who have the races in
charge have provided excellent sport for
the horse lovers Of Canton and vicinity,
and should be literally patTOnizad. The
races to-day and tomorrow will be ex.
cellent.
James Ackerson acted as starter, and
gave general satisfaction. The other
judges were T. J. Parker and Samuel
SHARP. The timers were A, L. Goldberg,
y. E. Goldberg and George Saxton.

Tlme-l;bSH, 1864,
The races closed this morning, and
were without doubt the most successful
ever held in Canton. The attendance was
good, the track fast, the field of horses
large and the sport exciting. No serious
accident occurred during the meeting TO
mar the pleasure of the occasion. Twice
during the meeting was the track record
lowered. On Wednesday Gray Bayard in
the 2:30 pace lowered the record from
2:25 to 2:24N. Yesterday in the third heat
of the 2:24 trot Thalia went the mile in
2:24I without a skip. This was as pretty
a race as any one could ask o'see. Kins-
man pushed Thalia hard, and II was inn
possible TO tell which would win until
Thalia came under the wire a'neck ahead.
The management is certainly 10 be con.
graduated on the success Of the meeting.
Financially the meeting was success,
and certainly from race standpoint no
one will deny that II was magnificent
event. All of the races were closely con.
tested excepting colt trots, and split heats
was the result in all the other classes ex-
cept the 2:29 trot which was won in
straight heats by Frantic. Strange to say
the weather was fine, and the field of
horses as good as any ever seen In this
section. The result of the meeting will
do much 10 encourage the building Of a
mile track.

Phillipsp yesterday afternoon upon writ OF ne
exeat obtained by Cassius II. Read, one
OF the propr4ctors Of the Hoffman House.
who asserts that Peshall owes him 100000
Mr. Read says that about four years Pesha bought
at sherifs sale a strip Of land containing seventy
eight lots in Cedar-st, jersey City, He went to Read,
with whom he had been friendly, and borrowed be-
tween 100 and 81 200 to make first payment on
the property to the sheriff. He soon aterward went
to Augustus Kountze, the banker and borrowed more
money, and gave mortgage on the property and also
on his wife's homestead. With this money he made
q final payment.
PeshaI then conceived a plan of running a railroad
from Droyers Point on Newark Bay to Cavan Point,
