A cold breeze blew across the field
Yesterday when the races opened at the
driving park. Fully $500 people were

G. n. Payn, Findarn, N. j., second;
Kitty A, from the Early Bird stock

the second heat Don and Waikiki made a
pretty race all around the stretch, when

length; Waikiki second. Henrietta NJ,
owned by Fl. M. Hull of Bristol, third.
Time 1884. In the third heat Don won
at a canter in 1856, Kitty beating Wal

in the second heat.
In the first heat of the 2:32 class

until at the first pole on the second time
| around when Maud H. went off her
feet and ran one eighth of a
mile, coming down level just under the
wire. She was set back to sixth place
for running; Horace E, a bay gelding

forced Baldwin within a few lengths of
the wire off his feet. Baldwin went
under the wire on run and the heat
was given to Charley H, Baldwin
second, Maud FL third. Time 2:328. In
the fourth heat Charley proved himself
too strong for the others and won
easily. Lucky Baldwin second, Maud

only four starters. Hy Wilkes, owned
by A. j. Stone, Manchester, N. H.
Budd Doble, Elm City stock farm
New Haven; Elorina, II. M. Clark

odds in the pools. Lucille led but
Doble passed her on the first turn. a
fight then took place between Lucille
and Hy Wilkes for second place, the
latter winning. Budd Doble canterine
under the wire in the remarkable time
of 2:19t. Elorina was distanced. In
the second heat Budd Doble won easily
in 2:204, Lucille beating Wilkes, who
had broken badly out for second place
The third heat was repetition of the
second, Doble winning easily in 2:204

1t was the opinion of the judges tha
Doble could have beaten 2:15.
