for the Championship.
New York, Aug 2S.-The third day OF
the Grand Circuit meeting at Fleetwood
was the best days racing that the har-
ness devotees of New York have seen
In years. The weather was perfect
for racing, the track was in superb con
dition and the attendance quite good,
there being fully 100 people present.
The chief attraction, of course, was
The great free-for-all trot for a $50 90
purse in which the three cracks Of the
year met-Azote. the unbeaten, Ben
Zetta, who trotted fourth heat at
Buffalo in 2:O634, and the sterling cam
paigner, klamath. 2:0Sls.
AZote was very properly the favorite
and ne won, but only after trotting one
of the greatest races on record, Ben
zetta beating klamath for second mon
py. After little scoring they got away
to a perfect start, AZote Immediately
rushing to the front and quickly open
ing a gap of two lengths from klamath.
He passed the half in 1:03, trotting easi-
iy and came home jogging in 2:0932, ten
lengths in front OF Klamath.
In the second heat the pace was hot
from Inc START, hidlndlH Hdu lic bcoe
Of the send-off but BenZetta outtrotted
him o the quarer where she was hot
On the heel of the leader, AZote, who
passed the post in :30la, trotting true
and fast. AZote went by the half n
I:o11k. Breasting the hill on the rear
Of Point Oricks, AZote came with
rush, making the three quarters in :33a
and it was seen that the result was be-
yond doubt. On he came without waver
-, s,, n
ever trotted at Fleetwood and the fast
est trotted by gelding.
The hird heat was again AZotes all
the way. Penzetta broke after pass
Ing the first quarter. klamath chased
Azote. In turn klamath went off his
feet Just before making the swing Tor
the up grade and Benzetta, who had
been trotting fast after settling, TOOK
second place and in this order they
finished, Azote winning with the utmost
ease in 2:07, thus placing to his merit
race of SURPRISING merit. Had either
Renzetta or klamath been able to force
AZote out in each heat he could certain
lv have gone three faster heats than
were ever seen on eastern tracks.
After the second heat of this race.
the handsome mare BenZetta was sold
bv her owner. Z. W. Ayers, Of Duckers,

av offered s21 900 for the gret 3-year-old
colt LARA bic, but his owner, George
Nv. Levitt of Boston, would not enter
