8arell 8 99ailgg GRAND CIRCUIT TROTTING. Third Day at Hartferd-Nightinga Stake Race-The 2:25 Class Decided Long Program for To-Day-Four Races and Several Special Attrac. tfoAs-The Entries.
 There was another large audience at the grand circuit races at Charter Oak park yesterday afternoon. Many other specta- tors were on the quarter stretch and at the several pool stands. During the af ternoon, while rain caused short post ponement of the sport, the spectators were | entertained by the delightful airs of the | band. Many pretty ladies were in the grand stand.
 The first trotting of the day was the fourth heat of the 2:25 class. The heat and race was won by Fred s. Wilkes in the hands of the expert reinsman, E. T. Geers, who took first money, $1,O0O. J. H. Nay of Readville, Mass, took second money $500. with Lightning. James Golden with Pomona won third money $500. John Shillinglaw of Hartford won fourth money, saoo with Tom Carpenter. The deciding heat was made in 2:194.
 When the horses were called up for the finish of the $10, 900 race only two horses, Nightingale and Little Albert, responded. Abbie V., who was one of the three horses that had won two heats each, was not al- lowed to start by one of the excellent rules of the National association. There were at the races many persons not posted in rac- ing matters, who thought it was too bad that Abbie ", having won two heats, was not allowed to start again, but when the state of the race was explained to them they saw the justice of the rule. Nightin- gale had won two heats and had made dead heat. Little Albert had also won two heats and had made dead heat. In this case if the dead heat had been given to either horse that horse would have won the first money. Abbie V. was not allow ed to start and possibly win the first money from one of the two horses men toned.
 The heat was won by Nightingale, which subjected the $1O,O0 purse to the follow ing divisions: Nightingale S5,OO0, Little Albert $2, 800, Abbie V. $1.5OO, Bellman | $1 1000.
 The 2:17 class was the first race on the regular program of the day. Six heats were l required to decide the contest. The money | was divided as per SUMMARY BY -Trotting-Purse $a,Ooo.
