FLEETWOOD PARK, August 81
About two hundred horsemen witnessed
to-day the finish OF the 2:ZI trottng race
that was carried over on account OF dark
ness last night at tho Fleetwood Grand
Circuit meeting.
When the horses were called out for
the fifth round this morning, Edward
Gers. the driver Of Robert j.. was be-
hind the black horse, Captain White, in
place Of Ira Harris. who handled him
yesterday. 1t was rumored that the
Judges had made the substitution. but
this was denied, Harris claiming that he
had secured Gers voluntarily. because
Captain White was a bad actor, who
needed a master hand to keep him in his
stroke. The black horse was favorite
to-day. with Gers UP. and the Tennes-
see man guided him TO victory in two
heats, giving him the race. Neither Lake
Erie nor Belle Truxton, the heat win
ners OF yesterday, could compare with
him in point OF speed, and, as Gers kept
him from breaking. the 5-year-old won
with great ease. Belle TruXton appar-
entity made no move to win 60 long as
Lake Erie had the lead. but when Gers
brought Captain White up fast in the
home-stretch, heading Lake Erie, Tyson
went on with the Truxton mare.
The race had all of the ear-marks OF an
attempted job, but the best horse won
after the change Of drivers was made.
The Driving club. OF New York cleared
about $1,000 on the hye-days meeting.
