after they came out On the track. the
numerous false starts made the specta-
tors restless. OF course this ia the one
great drawback in sulKy racing. Espe-
cially ii the entry list ia large it is u
hard matter to start them well punched
and every horse on his stride.

regular races won their respective heats
in magnificent form. Not break was
made by them and it seemed as il they
were too fast for the classes in which
they contested. Patsy X. owned by
William Austin OF this city. made
many friends by the beautiful form
shown and Mr. Austin had to bring
him down to walk when nearing tho
wire In order to save him from making
too fast record.

thriving business. They won heavily
on Patsy X, Othello and DR.. Syntax,
but lost quite roll on Rocky P.
The 30 class trotting brought out
field Of eight horses Othello and
Mack b., SGT the pacs and went neck
and neck for about three fourths of the
distance, when Othello was let out and
won as it pleased in every heat, Mack
d. taking second money, Sidney Boy
third, and Wyncode Maid, fourth.
The 9. 40 class brought nine entries.
