Lexington, Ky, Oct. 12.-Last nights rain caused the track to be heavy and fall in the mercury made the day very disagreeable for racing. In consequence the attendance was the lightest of the meeting.

Pel- crime earned second money, Celerima third and Silena r. fourth.
 Twenty trotters lined up for the word in the 21S class, with Lee Simmons se- lected as the most likely winner He did not figure in the fray, while Bad Actor proved quite a race horse and won in straights.
 Avana proved disappointment to her packers in the 2:26 trot. Price did not have the move for the first heat with her and Geers won in close finish with Corillo by making brilliant drive beat ing out Forester and Earle Baltic by @ slender margin. In the next heat Corillo and Avana, the original choice, made the fight, but the New York horse was best quite handily in the last two. Summa- ries:
