Louisville, KY, September 12.-Not
only the grand stand but the standing
room capacity of the Louisville Driv-
ing and Fair Association was taxed
this afternoon. A fast track and a
bright sunshine favored the great pac-
ing race in which Robert j., John R.
Gentry and Joe Patchen were to bat
tie for supremacy. AS early as 10
o'clock this morning the street car
line leading to the track had an abund-
ance of cars literally filled to overflow
ing. At 2:90 o'clock when the three
horses scored for the opening heat, it
is estimated that nearly 10000 people
were on the grounds. Robert j., the
great son Of Hartford, came off victo-
rious, but for the fact that Joe Patch
en- went into the air when within forty
yords OF the wire, in the fourth heat,
there might possibly have been
another nding. Robert j., how
ever, was as steady as clock
and not once during the four
heats did he get off his feet The
fourth heat, which was paced in 2:0412,
established new record, being the
fastest fourth heat ever paced or trot-
ted by any horse. There were seven
races on the programme, but it was
necessary to carry both the 2:11 and
2:16 trots over until tomorrow, while
the 2:24 trot was not reached.
Narvardine died last night as the re-
suit of yesterdays seven heats in the
217 trot, which was not decided.
