Three Minute Glass.
The second days races Of the Burlington
| Driving club were trotted Wednesday after
noon. The truck was in fair condition, not
withstanding the heavy rain of the early
morning. The attendance was small. There
were some surprises ard some pulling"
done in the races, which made six-hent
race. 1t was in the third heat Of the pac-
ing class, which was subsequently declared
mo heat by the judges, that X. L. VOL
ler driver of Peter Cooper, and l.. ".
Train, driver of G. II. X, tried to see
who could stop their horse the
| quickest and as Train succeeded
in locking his sulky wheel on to Weler's,
Peter Cooper had to go under tue wiro first
but it was almost on a walk that be did it.
1t was probably tho intention of each driver
to force the other horse out OF the 2:35
class, and in order to do that it was neces-
sary for the horse to get record of 1854.
In this heat Peter Cooper and G. II. X.
went away side by side at terrific pace,
going TO the half in 10 and rounding into
the home stretch at the same clip. 1t was
evident to all that the heat was for blood
thus far, but when within 200 feet
Of the wire both OF the drivers be-
gan to pull the horses as hard as
their strength would allow, finishing as
above stated, in 2:30, but as the heat was
declared Off there no time. The judges
substituted new drivers behind the horses
in the next heat and the time made tells tho
story.
In the first two heats Of the pacing race
Peter Cooper won, with u. Ii. L. on his
wheel.
