The first class called was the 2. 30 class,
with six starters. Kingstreet drew the
pole. Geo. ", second: Leola, third; j. o.
c., fourth; Tommy L., fifth, and Nicho-
| las, sixth.
| There was some doubt as to the eligibil-
| lett Of Springyale. to start in this class.
He bought the horse this spring, but
there was a suspicion that he got fast
mark at Haverhill two years ago, and he
voluntarily withdrew him.
After tedious scoring they got a good
start At the first turn Leola took the
pole and held it throughout. o. C.
were out of the race for positions. Leola
had no trouble with anybody. Knight
street drove the mare in at good clipp
Nichols and Tommy fought it out for the
next two places and by reason of breaks
Tommy went back to fifth. j. O. G..
was third Nichols fourth, Tommy L.
ii fth and George V, PAGER, sixth. Time
a 3d.
Second Heat-The fight in this heat
was beween Leola and Nichols. Nichols
passed Leoa at the first turn, and held it
till about thirty feet from the WIRE when
he was passed by Leola. Kingstreet held
| third till the last turn, when he was
passed by Tommy L. Time-2.a7 IA.
Third heat-George v. was drawn. 1t
| hols. Leola lost the pole to Nichols at the
| first quarter and then logged the black
stallion all the way. Both horses finishe d
| under the whip, Nichols winning. They
were going too fast for rest of the crowd
and had race all to themselves. The
| finish was hot one in 2. % 1-2, breaking
the track record of 227, IA Tommy L..
was third, j. 0. G. fourth and King
street fifth
Fourth Heat-Nichols kept the lead and
rushed very far ahead from the field, so
much so that he was pulled in the entire
length of the home stretch. Leola fell
ba ok to fourth position, which she kept,
followed by j. 0. c., who finished ahead,
by running Kingstreet and Tommy L.
had it nip and tuck for second place, but
7 ommy L. had too much speed for him,
finishing second. Time-2. So.
Fifth Heat-The.l last heat was hot one
from the start. Nichols made slight
break at the first turn, but didn't lose the
lie ad. Leola dropped hack four lengths
and 1t looked like Nichols as winner
at the three quarters pole But Wood :
bury made a magnificent drive for first
place from there. He closed up the gap
the stallion by nose amid great APP
plause from those who appreciated the
handicap he had overcome. The grey
gelding J. O. @. held third place and
some distance behind Kingstreet and
Tommy L. fighting for fourth place,
Tommy L. beating him in on the stretch.
Time 1877.
In this class there were six starters also.
Bismarck was the lucky one, Norland
Wilkes second, Gen. Robinson third, Joe
Falcon fourth, Choralist fifth and Donald
Franklin sixth
There was theImost tedious scoring yet,
due to Bismark's driver largely. They
got fine start, Bismark falling back
Gen. Robinson took the lead, hard
pushed by Joe Falcon. Donald Franklin,
Norland Wilkes and Choralist were not
in it, The finish was under the whip and
grand one too. .E
Joe Falcon just put his nose in first,
Bismark having made grand squirt to
second and Gen. Robinson but nose be-
hind Bismark. Time $3.50 a.
Second Heat-Choralist was drawn
Bismark was neck and neck with Joe
Faecon first for the one-mile, but did no t
pass him at any time Gen. Robinson
passed Bismark on the back stretch and
finished second, but was set back to third
place for breaks. Donald Franklin was
throughout some distance in the rear, fol-
lowed by Norland Wilkes. Time-2. 80 IA.
Third Heat-Norland Wilkes was
drawn. Joe Falcon held the lead easily
throughout and the fight was between
