still winning Laura f. Brunhild and
Peerless Ben so near one another that
the difference could hardly be detected,
were at Vollery's' sulky wheels. while
Eunice, Dan Berry and Currier followed
in short and compact order.
The second heat was as pretty spec
tacle as the first, although tedious scor
ing at the beginning tired the audience
somewhat. The twelve horses finally
got away, Laura F., driven by the veter-
an Golden, having the pole. But before
the first quarter was reached the Cor
nish horse, Dan Berry, by splendid
burst, dashed ahead of Golden and took
the pole. Then came Golden's struggle
for recovery. At the half his horses
head was at the neck of Dan Berry; at
the three-quarters the horses were nose
and nose; Dan Berry couldn't stand it,
and broke. Golden's horse then took
the lead, and the field swept down the
home stretch well together. Vollery,
driven by the veteran Marsh, had man
aged to get toward the front in this heat,
as in the last, aud was close onto Golden
as they passed under the wire. Then
came Galen C. Moses's Brunhild, follow
ed by Dan Berry, Black Nathan. Curri-
Ell, Donald, etc. Brunhild was set back,
Peerless Ben being given third place.
Time, 2.20
The third was also very pretty dis
play of trotting. The scoring was not
so tedious, fine of $40 each imposed on
Frank Fox and Ira Woodbury. having
SOLDERING effect on the drivers. Golden
did not intend to allow Laura I. to be
headed at all this heat, but Black Nathan
gave him hard brush on the back
stretch, where there was some earnest
trotting. Here Fox pushed Dan Berry
from second to third place, Vollery frus-
trauing, by frequent breaks, all OF
Marshs endeavors to put him in his ac-
customed second place. There were
cheers for Fox when Dan Berry came
down the home stretch, pressing the
winner closely. The time, 2.22 IA.

The second heat stirred the blood of
every spectator. 1t had been generally
known that Edith III. and Thetis were
old contestants, who had tried each
others mettle recently at Boston and
Providence, and there was great excite
ment as the contest between them pro-
crossed. But in this heat Thetis disap-
pointed her admirers. Edith III. took the
pole in the first half. leaving her rival to
tight for second place with nearly the
whole field. The evenness with which
the contestants were matched was the
surprising characteristic OF this class.
Bird gave Thetis particularly close
brush on the back stretch, although it
