The Frankfort roundabout. [volume] (Frankfort, Ky.) 1882-1908, 1891-10-10

ting a head in front of Andy Wilkes.
The third heat was the heat of the
race. All got of together but at the
first turn Pronto began to cut up.
The others, all neck and neck, got a
hundred or SO yards the advantage of
him before he settled down to BUSH
ness but when he did he did it sure
enough. The space between them
closed rapidly, and turning into the
stretch he had almost overhaulded
the field. Down the homestretch
they came, Pronto gaining every step,
but he could not quite pass Cherry,
who headed the bunch, and had to
take second honor, half a length be-
hind. None of the others were over
four lengths from the leader. The
fourth and deciding heat was repe-
tition of the third, except that Prom
to made good his loss, and won after
a hard finish, Cherry second.
The time was very good. Sum-

The third race was where the ex-
citment reach ed fever heat. 1t was a
2:25 class trotting, Kentucky Mid
land Stakes, $500, guaranteed, mile
heats, 3 in 5; but three could be
trotted before darkness set in and it
was carried over until Thursday.
All the heats were so close that it
was almost impossible to place the
horses at any stage of the mile, first
one and then another showing in
front, only to be oVerhauled again,
and when they turned in to the
stretch, all in bunch, the excitement
was something tremendous. The
second heat was claimed by many to
be a dead heat between Brignoli
Wilkes and Melissa but the judges
gave it to Wilkes. Donald NICK broke
in the first two heats, but succeeded
in winning the last in the fastest
time of three. 1t was truly a great
race as for trotted the second day.
