in fraction Of second FAST as his average at Ceve
land last week. where he met Yolo Maid for the first

she dropped back to fourth place the third heat leav
ing Johnston and Dallas to fight for third money.
Johnston it by getting 10 second under the whip,
while Pointer was going within himself IN II.
Sprasue Golddust came out Iveer than ever for
the rs trot left from last night and the betting
was 3 70 on him. Leicester really distenced
in the third heat yesterday. but allowed 1t by the
cOmpaisance OF the judges in direct violation Of the
rules All the others that stood 70 win a part Of the
purse protested against his starting. and when he
finished third depriving Diamond Of fourth money,
that part Of the purse held till the question is
decided sprsgue Golddust trotted in 2;16 ~,
knocking half second from his improved record OF
yesterday
Ryland T.. with Mcdowell behind him, thought
good enough for the % class and the Montana party
played him at even money while anybody would buy
the field, and even gave to for him. A more I'M
steady lot seldom faces the starter than came out In
this race and J. T. was long in finding his legs
that Done Wilton got demoralzed, and splan asked
leave 10 draw him. Rylaud T. also began 10 come slow,
and was finally ten lengths back when the rest left
the wire lie got square away at the quarter and was
closing rapidly when the effort told on him. and
couple of standstills left him two distances out.
Mcdowell had nodded for the word, however and there
was nothing for 1t send the bay geldng to the
stable leaving a ton Of money to burn up with no
chance 10 hedge. Netue King got the first heat in
90 81 new mark for the four year-old, and she
was then the choice at 10 10 3. lathe second heat
Frank F. beat J. T. in 81. The latter had been well
backed and was said 10 be good for mile below 20
so the Judges put W. j. Andrews in TO see how good
the black trotter is. He found out easily, for J. T.
got weary a. the divided, and went 70 tie
stable after the fifth, with fourth money. Netue
King managed another heat, but was done for While
the gray geldlng Jerry L., from Minneapolis. proved
the stayer of the party. He pulled up in the sixth
mile to let NJ. Hamlns in after making double
break the half.
Another Of the Village Farm string, Nightingale
was the selection for the % class, and landed ~
first heat so c!cvcrly In IA that IL was 30 10
on her The next heat found her unsteady and Honest
George got home first IN 2:2l II: Nightingale
looked dangerous in he third heat; sl, she went 10
pieces again. and her fast finish did not make UP
enough 10 catch Honest George. IlOugh there wac
postponed, seemingly to favor the Hamlin mare, For
the wind up tomorrow there are the "a pace free
for all and IL trOt with the triple team OF AlmOnts
10 try to beat IA. summaries:
