NEW YORK, Sept. I. - The unexpected
defeat of c. ]. Hamlin's crack PAGER, Mock
ing Boy, in the Blue-ribbon stakes for
PAGERS of the 2:15 class was the feature of
the second days sport at the Grand Circuit
meeting. Berkshire Courier, who sold for
IS in the pools of 500, surprised the talent
by winning the race in straight heats.
Mocking Boy acted sore and he was never
prominent. Berkshire Courier. in the third
heat, made a long running break in the
second quarter, and looked like a beaten
horse when he settled ten lengths of
more behind the leaders. He closed the
gap. however, and Won by a head in a
driving finish with Kentucky Star and Roy
al Victor. Belle G. possessed the speed of
the party in the Speedway stakes for 2:24
%trotters. and started a warm favorite. Aft
er winning two heats the fast black mare
became unsteady and tired. and Valence
beat her in the race in rather slow time.
The race Tor three-y ear-old %trotters was
virtually a walkover for the Kentucky filly
Margaret. Planet was an easy winner of
the postponed pacing race. Monopole broke
repeatedly and was unable to head his rival
in the single heat required to determine the
contest.
