$50 Pacing Glass,
for the purse of 5000. 1t was a well
contested race.
Twelve horses appeared, Waveland,
owned by John Barrett of Deering,
drawing the pole, with Ferndale second.
Fortuna third. After considerable scor-
ing and delay on account of a broken
sulky, the field got away, Ferndale max
ing an early bid for the lead, which she
took before the half was reached. But
Waveland made a gallant strife, and did
not yield second place to G. O. Taylor
until at the three-quarters, where the
Deering horse went to pieces. Ferndale
held her short lead in spite of the best
efforts of G., o. Taylor and Merrill. The
race of the last two down the home
Alcyone and Fortuna were close on the
heels of the leaders. Time, 2.20.
The second heat was started after con-
siderable delay, Prince Aleyone casting
shoe during the scoring. This heat
disturbed all the calculations made on
the first. Ferndale went off her feet
near the first, and at the half was strug-
Cling for sixth place. Prince Alcyone
took the Epole and held it throughout,
but the Damariscotta stallion Merrill
made a determined contest, and came
down the home stretch on Prince Aicy-
ones wheel all the way. Glendale came
in third, with the remainder of the field
quite well strung out. Waveland, in this
heat did not get the word with the rest.
Time, PIT IA.
The scoring for the third heat was so
long and tedious that the spectators
grew very clamorous, calling for fines,
for Pompilly, and finally demanding that
Coates, driver of Prince Alcyone, be TAX
en- from his sulky. By a collision, Rich
ards, the driver of Glendale, was thrown
from his sulky, but pluokily recovered
himself and started again. In the start.
Ferndale took the pole from Prince AL
cyone, but by steady, persistent work the
latter managed to win back the lost
ground and half a length more, which
made the Connecticut horse winner at
the wire in 2.15 IL, the fastest heat of
the race so far.
The fourth heat decided this race for
Prince Alcyone. The white neck scarf
of Deavey, his driver, was in the first
place without cessation and hardly with
out dispute, although G. 0. Taylor was
a good second, and ON the home stretch
Crit, Fortuna, Ferndale and Merrill
closed up we'll towards the van. Time,
2.18 1-2.
First money went to Prince Alcyone,
second to Ferndale, third to G. 0. Tay-
lor, fourth to Merrill.
