Race.
Two Out of Three Favorites Sue

Trotting.

The attendance at the track yesterday
was good, If not large, and the racing
Of high class, albeit two out of three
favorites won.
Majella was the choice at prohibitory
figures in the two-yearold trot, but
Flare Up, fllly bred by the late George
w. Hancock of this city, won after be-
ing practically shut out in the first
heat She was driven with such a
short check-rein that she could not
travel, but the distance had been
waived and she was allowed to start
In the next heat. This time she was
given more freedom of head and won
handily, as she did in the third heat, in
2 % and 2:2411a, respectively.
Gazelle sustained the confidence Of
her hackers in the 2:17 pace by winning
in straight heats in 2:14, 2:16 and
2:14b. and Our Boy did the same thing
in the 2:17 trot, which he won in PIG,
2:15 and 2:15h.
In the latter race, in the second heat.
Ed. Lafferty, the driver Of Frank
Burke's Promise Me, met with an acci-
dent, but for which the result might
have been different and which will pre-
vent him from occupying the sulky for
some time, probably. Promise Me was
third at the first quarter and rapidly
gaining on Our Boy and Sophia, when
one of the lines parted and he started
to run Lafferty got out on the shafts
and seized the bride, but missed his
footing and slipped to the ground. He
hung to the horse for an eighth of a
mile or more, when he was forced to
let go and fell. He received bad Shak-

no bones were broken.
