on all the roads leading into Gray betok-
ened that the people were coming 1lom all
thetowns around; and when the races were

probably be replaced by a new one next
yeal-was crowed and unable to contain all
who wished to see the trotting. The day,

probably be a large attendance again, as
some of the best races arc today.

The
TROTTING RACES
were well attended and enjoyed.
The first heat of the three minute class
was made interesting by the close trotting
between Doctor Il. and Nelmah. The lat
ter until about Il year ago was in business
as thoroughbred runner and jumper. He
hung close to Doctor r., through the whole
race, and came in on the winners wheel.
Col. Dyer was good third all the way
around. Walker drew the pole in this heat.
In the second heat Doctor r. had it all
his own way, although on the last quarter
Nelmah made dash and came in close
second. The judges were dissatisfied with
Phinney's driving in this heat and replaced
him with Prince Jordan.
The third heat was great race between
Doctor R. and Nelmah, the latter appar-

The two were close together for the whole
couse, and. they came under 1.-The wire, Mel

came to his wheel,and.fell back. In the
last half. as the field neared the wire, Lewis
