length behind. Vermont won, Edge
wood second and Armstrong close
third, Russell fourth. Mutuals paid

THIRD HEAT-Russell sold IS, field
$40. There was a good deal OF bad
scoring. Just as the horses reached the
lower tnrn in an attempt to crowd Rus-
sell, Australia thrust his left fore leg
through Russells sulky. Both rigs
went over in pile, and Vermont pitched
into the wreck, his driver, Jim Carr, be-
ing thrown and q small bone in his left
ankle broken. When they came TO I'M
tangle the wreck, Australians leg
couldn't be gotten out Of the wheel, and
the latter was wrecked. The horses
leg was pretty badly cut, but the horse
stood stock still while the wheel was
taken off. Carr was carried off to the
stables, and DR.. McMasters sent for.
while the police cleared the track.
Later Carr : rode in three heats.

strong, Zoda and Plympton
were compelled to stop, but Wilkes,
Edgewood and McMillen went on, for
quite distance on dog trot, and

of excitement for time. Mutuals paid
