Some Good Racing and Several Ho, ses Get
Fresh Marks.

AT eight o'clock the judges of the premium
classes was commenced by Mr.. Goodrich
and continued until noon at Rigby
yesterday. for standard tlotting bred
stations over ten years of age, and the
same for those over five and under ten. In
the first Woodbrino and Nelson met, in the
second. Haley and Westland. The decision
in these Glasses, together with most of the
others will be announced Friday. Today
these stations accompanied by some of their
colts will be exhibited on the track between
the heats.
While the judging of the classes was going
on in the paddock the judges of the gentle-
mems driving horses under Is liz hands high
and the most stylish double hitch were busy
on the track. The awards for the gentle
mems drivers were Nelson's black mare
Bird, first; Dr.. George II. Bailey's Maine
Rolfe, second; Fair View Farm Mollie M,
third, and S. Porters Westlawn, fourth.
For the double hitch the superb pair of
bay mares entered by DR.. T. ". Hunting
ton, easily carried off the palrl. A hand
somer pair was never hooked up, while the
carriage, harness and other appointments
were fully in keeping. The pair are named
Starlight and Icy, the first a daughtr of
Judge Advoca ate, the second of Nelson.
Every train that arrived at the park after
twelve O'clock brought many people, and
at two o'clock the attendance was very
large.
Promptly at one o'clock Starter Pompilly
called the unfinished three year old trot, in
which Sylvia and Nancy Rice had each won
a heat on Tuesday. This race was conceded
to be between these two, and it took three
more heats to decide it. Sylvia took the
first heat of the day and third of the race
in 2.2S. Conley got the speedy Nancy
Strengthened out in the fourth and won in
the stretch in 2.25. In the fifth heat the
pair went like team all the way around to
the distance mark, where Sylvia lifted her
nose for about two strides and lost the
game then and there, Nancy Rice finishing
first in 2.25 IA.
In the 81! trot Starlight surprised the
knowing ones by takingsthe first two heats
in 2.l5 3-4 and ZIG Ia with apparent ease,
and the third in 2.l5 "a, making it three
straight over cooking good field.
The feature of the last heat was the drive
made by Sanborn with George H., for
second place, which would give him second
money.
Tomah, with his record of 2. ga was be-
Heved to far out class the others in the Jose
stake for 2.40 trotters and the confidence
shown in him was not misplaced. 'sJock''
Bowen landed linn an easy winner in the
first two heats in 2.a4 1-2 and 2.25 3-4 with
out turning hair. They served as good
warming mp miles, for in the third heat the
association waivad the distance and Tomah
was sent to beat his record. He did it with
just an even second to spare, finishing in
2.15 ga.
The Portland stake for three minute trot-
ters was very similar in character to the
previous race. 1t was the easiest of easy
money for Nelson with Col. Pitt, Ira Wood
bury's bay colt Arthur Cleveland, full
brother to Mahlon. being the only thing in
it capable of giving him a tussle at every
part of the mile. Col. Pitt won the two
heats in a jog, time 2.24 IT. and 1927. Nelson
wanted TO give the Colonel good mark, so
in the third heat the association waived
the distance and the son of Wilkes entered
the charmed circle with record of g. IA.
Last on the card for the day was the
Commercial stakesfor yearlings, one mile
dash. Mirth, bay FLY by Neponset. did
the trick in perfect form, winning out in
the stretch in 800.
