Good Racing at the Driving Park Yesterday.
 The match race for $10O a side be- tween M. B. Keeley's Dude and James Longworth's George l. was run yester- day at the driving park. Dude won m three straight heats. So much interest did the match create that long before the race started fully 800 people were present and the infield was black with teams. Pat Lunny was selling the pools, which started off lively with George l. | the favorite at to 4. Over $500 was passed into the bookmaker's hands. The | race was scheduled to start at 9 o'clock. but 1t was before the horses came on the track. The delay was oecasioned because of Dude throwing shoe on the | way to the track.
 At o'clock the time keeners Dr Bland, and Thomas Weary of Nauga- tuck, informed Judge ManvilIe that they were ready. He sent the horses to the start, George l. winning the pole. w. Place was behind Dude and Clark Nichols drove George L. Dude broke before reaching line first. George l. was length ahead on the second start. on the third start both went off nose and nose. George l. led at the three quarter but was pushed so hard that he broke and Dude took the pole four lengths ahead. In the stretch for the first half George l. came down at a tremendous pace and was even up with Dude when he broke again, leaving Dude winner of the first half by four lengths. Around the track both horses went again without a skip until the who was tapping Dudes wheel, broke again losing the first heat by a length, Dude winning without a skip. Time, 2:42.
 On the second heat they made four attempts to score and finally went off together. Dude had scarcely crossed the line when he went into the air, re- covering quick enough to not lose any distance. Half way around they both broke, Dude recovering himself again and forging ahead. George L. broke again at the three-quarter pole. In the stretch for the first half George l.. tried to gain what he lost by his breaks but went into the air again, Dude going under the wire several lengths. ahead. He was never passed on the second turn but made the pace in the stretch so fast that George l.. broke again, Dude win ming the second heat in 2:45.
 The third heat was repetition of the other two. George l.. broke three times, but after every break he would pull up again, but the steady even trotting of Dude would send him into the air. Down the home stretch the pace was a fast one, but Dudes honest trotting won him the heat and race by two lengths in 2:414. It was the opinion of many that George l. can be driven to beat Dude, and that yesterday was one of her off days.
 Over 2,OOO changed hands on the re- suit, the betting after the first and sec- ond heat being 10 to 3 in favor of Dude. M. B. Keeley, the owner of the Dude, ! In ont hIJxy fIn f<>I IOo7 sod as race horse, but for driving purposes only and he will not enter for any other event.
 The local race had four starters, George Browns Jersey Boy, James Sutton's Little Dan, Harry Fagan's Joe J. and ! Andy Ashburn's Kittie A. Joe J. was the favorite. Jersey Boy won the first beat Joe J. by five lengths. Klttie A. did not arrive under the wire until the other horse were almost in the stable. She was withdrawn after the first heat. The time was 2:57.
 The second heat was won handily by Joe J, who beat Jersey Boy by two lengths, he leading Little Dan one : the latter horse because Jersey Boy made four breaks. The time was 5:58.
 The third heat was won by Joe J easily in 2:56. The other two horses fought all the way down the stretch for second place. Little Dan was leading
 when he broke almost under the wire. The driver seeing he could not bring him down in time gave him the whip going over the line a half length ahead of Jersey boy, the latter, how ever, getting second money.
