number OF spectators gathered around the
pool-seling stands, and a goodly sprink-
ling of the fair sex in the grand stand.
The track and weather were favorable TO
good racing and the sport was much en-
joyed by all present.
The 2:13 pace resulted in a walkover for
the stAlky Anaconda, the balance of the
entries not caring TO put on the gloves
with him. Every body looked forward TO
see a stubbornly fought contest when the
2:13 trot was decided, and every body was
disappointed. Andy Mcdowell took the
purse in hollow fashion with the gray
horse Carlyle Carne.
The first event called was a special, ar
ranged 10 allow Beau Brummel, black
pacing stallion, an opportunity of taking
a mark off 2:19H. Blue Bells was his
travelling mate.
The hackers of the short-ender, Fitz

ton of the 2:20 pace. In the first pools
