The free-for-all pace was the feature
of the day. Robert J. and Frank Agsn
were admitted to be fairly well matched,
although Robert j. was the favorite by
long odds. Sphinxetta, however, was
considered to be outt lassed at every
point, and it. was stated by her owner
in order to prevent the withdrawal of
the event from the card. AS II was, she
made q great showing, and while she
could not compete with the cracker
jacks, she reduced her own record from
2:osa4 to 2:O7 rs.
Robert j. took the first two heats
without much trouble, but in the third
heat Frank Agan walked away from the
dethroDed king and finished the winner
by half length.
The fourth and fifth heats were repiti-
tions of the third. Agan leo the PAGES
and was sure winner each heat, taking
the lead at the start and holding it to the
finish. Each heat of the big event was
watched with the greatest interest,
especially as the track record was reduced
from 2:053l, which was made by Hal
Pointer, to 2:03la. The summary:

although Azmon was at the head of the
procession In each heat. In the second
heat the little mare was sent back to
second place for running, which necessi-
tated the running OF another heat, but
Powers was not to be defeated by any
such set back, and won out easily in the
fourth heat. Her only competitor in the
race was Yankee Luck, who kept well at
her heels IN each OF the heats, but never
passed her. The summary;

the most closely contested events on the
card. The five mile race was ran in re-
markably short me, but the contest
was entirely between the carriages OF the

the Ouryea Company of Springfield.

last halt OF he last mile, when the Phil

OF speed and passed the New York car
