To-day, Friday, the programme
was mixed again, two of the races
being for runners and two for trot-
tiers. The running was very tame,
bnt there was quite a race in the
$40 class trot, which had in it Ede-
mia, the Endymion mare that made
a record of 2:25 at Oakland, and
who was purchased by Andy Nc
Dowell from Lee Rose the other day
for $4,000; Lucille, the black Dexter
Prince marc who also got a mark
of 2:26 last week; Riconado, the
gelding brother to Wanda, who trot-
ted in 2:23 at Oakland, and None
Better, green mare by Allandorf,
out of Bashaw Belle, by Green's
Bashaw, belonging to the lakewood
Park Stock Farm. None Better
has been going great miles in her
work and she was q substantial fa-
yorite over the whole field. In the
race neither Edenia nor Lucille was
ever driven at her, they leaving all
the fight to Rihconado. He trot-
ted close second to her in two
heats in 2:24a and 2:23a, and then,
finding that he could not head her
at all, the driver of Riconado let go,
and None Better had a jog to win
the concluding heat In 2:2S. 1t is
said that she could have gone mile
in 2:1s had it been necessary.
