| third, breaking Jusb uhaer The wire.
That was the only break of the heat. No
other heat of the meet had equalled it in
the closeness of the contest between all
the starters They were punched all the
way round. There was every prospect of
a long close fight. The quarters were SO,
1.0515, 1. 3819, 2. IL.
Ellen S., who was selling for only So in
the pool. while Nellie McCary sold for
$50 was the winner in the second heat
also. She kept the pole all the time and
Prairie Lilly kept second place, just as
perfectly, without q skip or loss of
position at Ellen S. IS side. Bessie B.,
came up into third place IL the back
strecth and was in the bunch of leaders
at the last turn. So was Nellie McCary,
who had come around on the outside,
steadily gaining all the time, and made a
strong bid for first place on the stretch.
Prairie Lily was also pushing Ellen s.
very hard. The three horses came under
the wire almost neck and neck Ellen
S. was Just a nose ahead of Prairie Lily
and the latter was just nose ahead of
Nellie McCary, whose driver, Demarest,
made splendid and desperate drive. 1t
was the closest and prettiest finish of the
meet, up to date. The time was 80,
/. o514, 1889 and 2, liz.
The third heat was something of a sur
prise. Ellen S. and Prairie Lily were
leaders as before but at the last quarter.
Abeto and Bessie B., put themselves SO
much in evidence that Abeto' captured
first place from Ellen S. and Bessie B.
captured third place from Prairie Lily.
This complicated matters and caused the
postponement of the finish Of the race till
today, because after the first heat of the
2. 10 trot, 1t was so dark that after the
2. 10 pace was called and Nellie McCary
threw shoe in scoring. 1t was too dark
to trot the heat and the race was post
pone till 10 O'Clock today. After the third
heat, Mary J. was drawn.
Boyce the driver of Prairie Lily, yester-
day, is also the owner of her. He is a
Wisconsin farmer and has been driving
his fast mare all the summer. She always
gets part of the purse
