Early Bird was not started in the 2.15 trot
for the reason that the entry lists for an
important race at Rochester, N. Y, do not
close until next Monday, and it was feared
that he would be forced to go clip that
would make him ineligible to start in that
race. The chances are that if he had started
it would have been matter of three
straight heats.
Two top heavy favorites, Allegro in-the
S24 pace and Charley G. in the 2.l5 trot,
were picked by the talent to dispose of their
opponents. Allegro did the trick, but

for second, this time Jed winning.
