THE 2.2o CLASS.
for trotters was started at the conclusion
of the other races There were seven to
startEand they made a pretty race. Gene
Briggs had the pole. They were sent
away well together, Honeywood taking
the lead. Jack Wyman had been the first
choice and gave the leader q hard rub
during the first quarter. Then Jack went
to pieces, running through the back
stretch and not getting into his stride
again until his driver had pulled him to
walk. Honeywood ..maintained her
lead without, much difficulty after that
and won the heat in 2 IS 1-2. Jack bring
ing up the rear. Gallagher drove Honey
wood, Walker, Ernsie ;sO'Neil, Jack Wy
man; Turner, Brown Jim; Smart. Gobe-
lin; Demarest, Billy C.; and Briggs,
Gene Briggs.
The second heat was a repetition of the
first, SO far as Honeywood was concerned.
She was not headed during the heat.
Jack Wyman showed what he could do
and hung to the leader all the way
around, finishing a good second.
The third heat varied the monotony of
the afternoons sport Honeywood start
ed as if to win in three straight and held
her own well up to the half. Gene Briggs
tore down the back stretch at great rate
and once got into second place. Then on
the turn there was a bunch of flying
horses, with drivers shouting, andsout of
Ernsie side by side. 1t was as pretty a
finish as has been seen on the track this
summer, the three going under the wire
almost neck and neck, Jack Wyman hav-
ing fraction the best of it, with Ernsie
second and the winner of the two previ-
Gus heats close behind. Gene Briggs
made good fourth. The winners best
time was 2 16.
The next heat brought a new winner to
the fore, Ernsie finishing in the lead.
Honeywood apparently laid off in the
hope of better things next time for she
came in in sixth place. Jack Wyman
made gallant try for the first place
again, but was not quite able to fetch it.
The finish between Ernsie, Jack and
Gene Briggs was close and exciting.
Jack Wyman was again a winner in
the next heat. Ernsie broke at the start
and was not in it after that Honeywood
was good second and the finish was
again an exciting one. The time was
2 II IA.
The last heat of thu day was won by
Ernsie, Jack Wyman second, Honeywood
third. This left the race with two heats
won by Ernsie, Jack and 81 Honeywood
respectively. The contest was then post
poned until today.
