NEW YOT3K. Aug. %. The third da,
OF the grandcirouit meeting at Fleetwood
was the best days racing that the har-
ness horse depotees of New York have
seen in years. The weather was perfect
for racing, theltrack was in superb condi-
ton and attendance was good, there be-
ling fully 7d0OSpeople present.
The chief attraction, of course, was the
great freesforial trot for q $1,000 purse, in
which the three cracks of the year M ct,
Azote, the unbeaten; Benezetta, who
trotteti,a fourth heat in Buffalo in . :06s4
and the sterling campaigner, klamath, +,
2:0s1s.
Azote was very properly the favorite
anu he won. but only after trotting one
tof the sreatest.races, ION record. Benezetta
beating lamath forisecond money. After
"a little scoring they got away TO q per-
feet start, Azote Immediately rushing to
the front and quickly making q gap Of
two lengths from Klamath. He passed
the shalf in 03, trottng easily and came
home Jogging in 2:Q9l2, ten lengths in
front OF Klamath.
In the second heat the pace was hot
from tie start. klamath had the best OF
the. send off but Benezetta out-trotted
the heels OF the leader, Azote, who passed
the, ,firstspost in ~ seconds, trotting true
and fast. AzoSJ went by the nalf in
.l:0f15 Breastin- the hill on the rear of
Point ofSRocks, Azote came with rush,
making the three-quarters in :33 and it
was seen that the result was beyond
y6oubt. On he came without wavering,
}finshfng gin 2;0512, the fastest heat ever
trotted at Fleetwood and the fastest ever
frettedf fby gelding.
, 'IheAtlfird heat was again Azote's all
thevway. BeneZetta broke after passing
theifirsU quarter. In the turn Klam ath
lwent,eff bistfeet just before making the
Spintfor the up grade and Benezetta, who
9ad been trosting fast after settling, took
Second place, and in this order they fin
dsned, Azote winning with the utmost
ease in 2:07. thus placing to his credit a
1ace OF surprising merit. Had either
Benezetta or Klamath been able to iorce
s zote out i'll each heat he could certainly
nave gone three faster heats than ever
were seen on an eastern track.
After the second heat of this race the
handsome mare Benezetta was bought
from her owner E. W. Ayers of Duckers,
Ky, for $4,000 by Peter Duryea of New
York, but for whom it was not an
nsunced. The same broker subsequently,
offered SCI 900 for the great 3-year-old
colt Larrapie. but his owner, George W.
Levitt of Boston, would not entertain
the offer. This colt is entered in the rich
Kentucky futurity. and on present form
seems to have 1t at his mercy.
Azote, the winner of the free-for ALL
was bred by the late Senator Leland Stan
ford at his Palo Alto farm. He is by
Wipps 2:2734, son of Eectioneer, and
iis oam is Josie, 4 daughter OF the sue
cessful horse WhIpples mbletonian.
Azote was cam paigned with indifferent
success by Orin Hickok for the Palo Alto
stables, and was purchased in the spring
OF 1894 by Monroe Salisbury, III whose
hands he has proved to be o trotting
horse OF strictly the first class.
The 2:40 trotting class for 2-year-olds
had six starters but proved the hollowest
kind OF victory for the California colt,
Fred s. Moody, brother OF the noted
mare Muta Wilkes, 2:11. He won each
heat as he pleased in 2:23l2, 2:21. He
was bred by William Corbett, proprietor
of the San Mateo stock farm, San Mateo
CAL, and is by his great stallion Guy
Wilkes, 2:I514.
The programme for Thursday is good
one, the great feature being the free-for-
all pace in which will start John r.
Gentry, Joe Patchen and Robert j. Joe
tatchen has beaten Robert J. twice and
has been beaten by him. John r. Gen
try has beaten Joe PPtchen and been
beaten by LHm, has paced q uead heat
with Robert J. and has been beaten by
the latter
The question of cham pionsh.p will be
settled at Fleetwood.
Besides the great pace, there will be
tine 2:25 and . ;2l trols with a good field
of starters.
