The races of the third and last Cay Of the
meeting of the Burlington Driving club at
Howard Park Wednesday were holly con
tested and furnished grand sport. The at
tendance was good, the track in fair condi
| ton and the weather all that could be asked
| for
| The unfinished three year old class was
called at | 80 o'clock. The colts got away
splendidly. Nancy Hathaway going to the
the front. She gradually drew away from
the others showing great speed, going the
| first half in lis and the mile in 1884. This
| is the fastest time ever made by three
year-od colt in the State and was great
surprise. Annacander held the record up
to yesterday, which was 2:354 made over
the kite track at White River Junction.
| Nancy Harkaway was driven by Mr.. D. A.
| Happen of Panton, who also owns half in
terest in her. She is by Harkaway, by
Strathmore. The little marc will
not be campaigned any more until
this fall. 1t was remarkable
| performance, and especially so when it is
considered that it was her first real race.
| Three Of the eight entered in the 2:27 class,
purse 500, started. Prince drew the pole,
!
given. Prince set a fast pace, and was IL OF
headed during the heat, Gov. Hill being a
! length behind at the wire after a sharp fin
ish In the second heat it was nip and
tuck race till the homestretch was reached
when Prince broke, Gov. Hill taking the
| heat easily. The third heat was repetition
of the first, except that Gov. Hill was the
winner. Winooski Maid pushed up consid
erably this heat and gave the others fiery
race. The fastest time of the meeting was
made in this heat. In the fourth heat Gov.
| Hill and Prince made bad breaks. 1t was
as close as ever however, with Winooski
Maid, who was good third under the
wire but who was given first money, Prince
and Hill being set back for running. Gov
ernor Hill went on then and took the next
heat and race, though not without hard
