open betting was permitted az the Grand
Circuit meeting to-day. the opening day
was d success In every particular. Inc
attendance was the largest ever seen AT

Oak. Iowa, last June the crowd was
larger than any that has attended any

stances the track was II 10 seconds
slow. Handbook, instead Of open bet

and for the first two heats they fought
shy OF the game. But later on, conil-
dsuco was gained. and betting became
very brisk. To-day's card was that
which was scheduled TO be run yesterday
and only one Of he races vas finished.
Warren Z. ruled fayorite in the 2.25 tr0t,
and he captured the first heat rather
easily. In the second, he broke IN inc
home stretch. ana was outfooted by Ella
Beaumont. After that however the game
son Of William IL. Allen put two more
heats 20 his credit. and finished the
contest.
The 2ls trot whlpsawed the talent 10
the Queens taste. Hamlin's great three
vear-old colt was the favorite, ana was
not out 10 win the first heat. and finish
cd NTH. Gretchen wan easily, but IN the
second was clevciy out-trotted by the
favorite. Athno was I'm trouble In the
third. and finished next TO last, Nellie,
the Kentucky mare. reaching the wire

then made the faVor.te. She broke in
the fifth. and the Western mare Sdbina
