Cartridge. @ black stallion, who won the
race at Chicago last week. had no trouble
in jogging away with the 2:25 trot. He
laid b8ck IN the first heat until close to the
wIre and then came I'D and poked his nose
under the wire first. Disappointing Diamond
JOe who had been leading down the
stretch. Litte had a good showing had che
not broken and acted badly at the end
of the back stretch. Gamer led for
@ moment at the three-quarters. Cart
ridge had TO 20 close TO the outer rail TO
win. After scoring six times lDythe second
heet, Cartridge got away hrst and won as he
pleased. the others trailing In string bean
fashion. Diamond Joe made a good race.
Gamer finished ahead of Litta. bnt the
ludges set him back on account OF nnmer-
ous breaks aud because his driver broke
the rules. The third and last heat was al
most a repetition of the second one Cart
ridge snowed his heels to his competitors.
Diamond Joe tried hard to take the heat
from him. but he never got close enough to
be threatening. kusselmont finished
third. The following is the Summary:

The last race on the card. for which there
were seven entries. narrowed down to
three when the flag fell. The youngsters
broke frequently. lt was thought that
George Wallace eon of Gam beta Wilkes
would have good chance on account of
hIs breeding. but the lilly Dawson
Lake showed that she was either
batter trained or had moro speed.
She easily won both of the heats
that were necessary to settle the
winner All broke soon after getting
OF III the first heat. and seesawed
for awhile, but Dawson Lake settled
down and paced well. Wallace came
within challenging distance at the begin
Ding of the last turn. but broke so badly
that he had TO be pulled up. He finished
