| Next on the card was the 2. SO trot and
it started with heat which at one
time and another seemed to belong to
| about half the field. The grey stallion
Donald franklin from the stable of G.
A. S. Hill at Cape Elizabeth, led for
awhile; then Clark Brothers Charles
A, with Ira Woodbury. driving, pushed
for the front and might have staid
there but for break. Finally Taylor's
grey mare Helen M. got out of the ruck
at the end of the first half and established
a lead which she kept all the way around,
trotting with movement as smooth as
that of well-oiled piece of machinery.
1t was cheering finish, the big crowd
in the grand stand making it tremble
with their applause.
'tSee that young marc trot," said an
enthusiast as Helena B. went by the field
in the second heat. She had broken at
| the start and it was losing break, send
ing her back to the rear of the process
sion, but when she got into shape en- the
second half, she took the outside and
passed the other horses as an express
1 train passes a freight, all except Milton
A. Wheelden sEfast horse who had made a
gain when Helena broke which the mare
could not overcome, although she made
a good second. Donald Franklin was
also unsteady in this heat and while he
finished in fifth place was RELOCATED to
the rear by the judges for gaining
break.
The next heat was the prettiest kind of
a horse race between Milton c., and
Helena M. Milton was not headed, but
just behind him and when the last turn
was reached made drive for the first
place. The two were on even terms for a
second, then the grey lost her feet and was
in second place when the mile ended.
Woodbury. with Charles A., had seized
upon third place early in the heat and
staid there throughout, the others trailing
along behind. Dexter R., added little
diversion by making heat in which
head and flank see-sawed up and down
like child's rocking horse.
IT Henlena B. could have trotted the
mile fiat, she might have won another
heat, but she couldn't do it despite all
the skill of John Haires, who was
driving. The two leaders came to the
wire neck and neck on the first trip
around and Helena broke. They swung
into the stretch for the finish close to-
gethor and Helena broke. Charles A.
was in the third place at the end of the
first half, but Dexter K, was there when
| the mile was ended. Dexter KS good
| luck in the first heat when he captured
| second place gave him the third money.

The 2. SO class for trotters brought out q
field of seven. There were the speedy
Bismarck, Jenette of the Nelson string
Emma Nelson, one Of the daughters of
the great stallion, Nat j., somewhat of
an unknown quantity, and several Others
At tho start, Bismarck took the lead and
held it to the close, but Daniel made
plucky fight in second place. Wheelden
with Dolly B., was third and the I'M
known quantity, Nat j., finished in
fourth place. The second heat was very
much like the first, except that Bismarck
broke at the start and had to made con-
siderable lost distance before he took his
old place at the head of the procession.
1t had looked up to this point like a
walkoyer for Bismarck. but he went lame
in the second heat and had to be with
drawn. Emma Nelson also gave out.
The third heat was taken handily by
Daniel, and then the race was postponed
until today. The summary:
