Of carriages on one side of the grand
stand, and a large number of people
chung to the fences on the other side,
and across the track, and even over
flowed on the track ITSELF so that it
was with some difficulty that the
crowds were kept back sufficiently to
give the horses a free passage in front
of the judges stand.
The races were very satisfactory, ex-
cept that five heats had TO be run off
in one race, and it took four heats to
decide the quarter mile dash, so that it
was 7.20 D. m. before the races were
over, and there were not many spec
tatOrs left to witness the last two heats
There was one pool box on the grounds
Tor the sale of mutuals, and the betting
vas quite brisk on some of the races.
There were four events on the card.
Pierce's Camper, driven by Mccoy,
won the three minute trOtting race,
BiscO's Bobby 3. won the 2:35 pacing
and trotting race, Jensen's Billie D.
won the 2:25 trotting race, and Moses
Nimbus won the quarter mile dash.
Those who officiated in the judges
stand were as follows: Presiding judge
and starter, Jacob Moritz; judges. J. w.
Cahoon and B. F. Redman; timers, L ].

four starters proved winners of heats
The starters were Birds Boy Bird,
driven by the owner, Haynes Lady An
gus, driven by Mccoy, Bisco's Bobby
B. driven by Scott, and Winder's Emma
D., driven by the owner. This was the
most interesting Of the harness races |
from the fact that the winner could
not be determined until after FIVE heats
had been trotted, when Bobby 3. won
with three heats to his credit, the best
time being 2:3412. Lady Angus got the |
second money. and Boy Bird third. The |
first heat was won by Boy Bird in |
2:36H. Bobby 3. led all the way, fol- /

with a great rush from the rear in the
last 200 yards, and was only beaten by |
a head by Boy Bird. In the second heat
Boy Bird led to the head Of the stretch,
closely followed by Bobby B., when the
Bird broke badly and Bobby B. won
by several lengths, in 2:35. Lady Angus
