BUFFALO. N. Y, Aug. 4.-This was
ladies' day at the grand circuit races, so
Mr.. Hamlin filed his grand stand if he
did not fill his cash box. The advertised
event. which attracted all attention, was
the match race between Azote and Fan
tasy. Most horsemen expected that Mr..
Hamlin would not let Fantasy race on &C.
count of her bad foot, due to the accident
at Cleveland. When she did come on the
track the odds were ali against her. Geers
drove Fantasy and Mcdowell drove Azote.
The track was in superb condition.
The start was bad, Fantasy tagging half
length behind Azote. Geers let the mare
out and at the quarter she was head and
head with Azote, but in the next quarter
of a mile she dropped back again, content
to stick at Azote's flank. Mcdowell was
driving in exhibition style. Geers drove
Fantasy out again, and put her beside
Azote at the three-quarter pole, but when
Azote began moving in the stretch the
mare could not keep the pace and finished
two lengths behind Azote, whose time was
2:09A.
The second heat was trotted in much
the same way. To please the grand stand
beside her. When he came into the stretch
he swung wide out into the track giving
Fantasy the pole and drove home length
and half ahead in 2:1211.
Ell Rami took three straight heats in the
2:2S class trot, with Valley Queen finish
ing second each time.
Geers did some mastery driving in the
2.20 trot, winning the $4,000 purse for the
Village farm with the black stallion
Alliance. Alliance was the favorite at
even money. Miss McGregor had the pole
in the first heat and carried the bunch to
the half in 1:0715. Here Geers brought
Alliance to the front and at the stretch he
was in front, with Lady Wilton and Miss
exciting, Alliance taking the heat from
Lady Wilton by head. Miss McGregor
finished third.
Lady Wilton pushed Alliance hard in
the second heat but failed by half
length, and the Hamlin colt got the third
heat in an exciting race with Miss Nc
Gregor.
OF the twelve entries in the 2:35 trot all
were drawn but four, of which Tommy
Britton was easily the best.

with his sparring partner on the track,
and on Saturday Bob Fitzsimmons will
box and punch the bag.
