; The next race was the great race of
the day, there were six starters but four
of them were not in it at all. 1t was a
fight between Frank Barnes Simmons
and X. H. Richardson's Robert o., u
green horse of Churchville, Md.
The first heat was won by Robert @.
in 2.19I with Simmons close on him.
The next heat had only four starters,
but the fight between the two horses in
the lead was an excellent sight to be-
hold. Simmons kept the lead for the
first half and Robert G. passed. He led
until nearly 10 the wire when he was
passed. The time was 2.154 the best
race time ever made on the track. Last
year William Penn reduced the track
record to 2.16 fiat.
The third and fourth heats were
very much like the second. The fifth
heat the judges and several horsemen
pronounced the finest race they had
ever witnessed The two were sent off
even. They continued around breast TO
breast and at the first quarter We're side
by side,,at the half they We're trotting
like double team, sometimes one would
be very short distance but not half
length. When they came down the
honestretch both drivers were laying
on the whip and urging them all their
might. Simmons finished about 10
inches in advance. Neither horse made
| II skip or break or did one one get a
| length in advance of the other during
| the entire mile Time 2, 154,
