given a good days sport. The same
judges were in the stand as the day be-
fore and they were ably assisted by Fl.
II. Golf, SECRETARY OF the Gentlemen's
Driving club OF Hartford. There were
but two races. Billy = owned by
George Lilley winning three straight
heats IN , the ESQ class ana sylvester K:
bay geidlng owned by N: >. Stone OF
Manchester, N. H., winning the 2:27
class. The racing done was wonderful
from the fact that the track was heavy
and the rain came down during some of
the heats. In the 300 class a record of
2:33f was made which will debar Billy
= hereafter from entering that class; In
the 2:27 great surprise was given both
the judges and spectators. Heretofore
