OPENING AT NASHVILLE.
NASHVILLE, TENN. October 1.-THE
attendance at the opening Of the fall
| trots was very discouraging.

| lion out for the stallion record. He made
a show of his field. but could not finish
| better than 205h. 1t is conceded, how
| ever. that IL he had been pushed he
| could have gone faster. Newcastle won
1
| contest with Simmons. The mare won
| the first two heats. but she weakened
| after this. and Newcastle had an easy
, time OF IT, except In the fourth heat,
when ne broke badly.
| Miss Nelson and KnightmOre were equal
| favOritps in the 2I3 trOt. Miss Nelson
won the first two heats quite handily.
| and had good lead in the third. but
! William Penn forced her Of her feet in
| a driving finish in the third. and she
| finished in the ruck. She took the last
| heat handiy.
The 2.l2 pace was the most exciting or
| the day. Pattie u. was the best-likei,
| with Venture the next in demand. Not
| q few pinned their faith 20 BrOoks.de, the
| record breaking Tcnnessee-bred colt. lie
| acted very badly. however. and was dis
| tanced the first heat. Aggie D., an OUT
sider took the first heat. Venture the
next two, and Pattie d. the fourth, when
darkness compelled 4 postponement until
