22S GLASS. TROTTING.
Eight horses appeared for the start. Ira
Woodbury. was driving Arthur Cleveland
and had the pole. The roam stallion
Mickey, a Portsmouth horse, was driven
by Proctor; Brady was. up behind the
chestnut mare Sylvia; Thomas drove the
Auburn mare Leola, Walker guided
Ramee, Feek sent Brown Lace ahead
Demarest was behind Belle Butler and
Bowen drove Dick Brown. Lace came
out'of the crowd at the start and lead all
the way round, the rest being in a bunch
just behind, except Leola and Belle
Butler, which brought up the rear
brown Lace was again at the front in
the second heat, and was never headed
Dick and Mickey made good fight for
the second place, Dick poking his nose
under the wire first.
1t was a pretty finish in the third heat,
Dick, Brown Lace, Mickey and Rance
coming down the stretch in a row,
Brown Lace having a shade the best of it
until about under the wire when she
broke. The roam stallion Mickey passed
the line first, with Dick only neck be-
hind. AT the start Brown Lace had
taken the lead as if to finish the race in
three straight heats. but Mickey and the
others soon closed up the gap and the
four leaders were punched. Mickey ran
twice in his efforts to get to first place,
and for this the judges set him back to
third position.
Dick held onto his advantage in the
next heat and was again a winner.
Brown Lace came almost to the wire in
second place, but could not keep it from
Mickey, although the whip was used
Sylvia, which has never been in it to any
great extent was shut out by the distance
flag.
The fifth and last heat was taken by
Dick, Mickey close second and Brown
Lace, the winner of the first two heats,
again in third place. The money was
awarded, first to Dick, second to Brown
Lace; third to Mickey, and fourth to
| Rance
| THE 220 PACING.
Next on the card was the 2.20 pacing
race, with seven to start. 1t took several
attempts to get them off, Howell having
the pole. Dan Robinson pushed to the
front at the turn and was not headed
after that They came in procession
around the last turn and went under the
wire one after another but close together.
The second heat was made interesting
by the way in which that game big
fellow, W. S. Bond, walked through the
field. Twice he did it and each time went
off his feet just as he was getting into
position to give Dan Robinson hard rub
for the first place. When the financier
did condescend to pace, he went by the
other horses as if they were in tread
mill.
The fnancier, A. S. Bond, was again
a disturbing clement in this heat,
running to the head of the procession on
the back stretch, but falling back among
the crowd before he could regain his
strike. 1t was Oh the back stretch too
that Dan Robinson took his old place at
the head of the column being sent flying
by B. II. D., which then had the lead.
Dan won with D. III. d. second. Downe
got second money, D. H. D., third and
Howell fourth,
THE 2. IA TROTTERS
The interest of the crowds in and
around the grand stand visibly quickened
when the 2. IA trot was called. The field
was a hard one to send off, Nutshell and
some of the others evidently having an
off day. but finally they were sent away.
Lynne Bel, the pole horse, took the lead
and kept it, but it was nobodys race all
the way around, for Nutshell and Vega
were close behind her. Vega was un-
steady or he might, perhaps, have given
the leader good deal more trouble
Lynne Bel also took the second heat.
The tail enders of the first trial came to
the fore this trip. Turner moved J. M.
D. up from ninth to second place and
Caprice finished third Nosegay at one
tims tried to travel with the leaders but
the pace was too hot for her. The time
was 2 10 fat.
| Ihe third neat was very much like the
second. Lynne Bel took first money,
Caprice second j. NJ D. third and Nut
shell fourth.
