raising finish and the prettiest drive of
the day. Jane won the heat by half
length with India Silk second. The last
quarter was made in remarkably fast
time by Jane. The time for the race was
2141-
The fifth and deciding heat of the 2.54
pace was the most exciting of the day,
inasmuch as both India Silk and Jane
had two heats and both horses We're out
for the big slice of the purse. India Silk
started out several lengths in the lead
and held this position to the wire. Com
ing down the home stretch Jane who had
so nobly contested the race made a hero ic
effort to beat India Silk out, but the belt
she could do was to put her nose even
with India Silks throat latch and then
she hung until the wire was passed and
India Silk had won the race. The time
was 2.15.

THE a.15 TROT.
Louis Victor proved an easy winner OF
the 2.15 trot. Tom Breton was little
troublesome in the first heat but after
that showed no disposition to head the
favorite
The first heat of the 2. Is trot was race
from wire to wire. Tom Breton, the
wonderful horse who made worlds rec
ord as two-year old of 2.lS 3-4, was up
against Louis Victor and the pair soon
drew ahead of the field. Until the half
was reached Breton held his own against
Louis Victor who carried the greater part
of the money but beyond the half Victor
drew ahead and finished in a hot drive
for the wire at half a length to the good.
The half was made in 1903 IA, and the
mile was oil IA.
Louis Victor took the next two heats
easily. General, driven by Jack Bowen,
landed in second place in both heats and
won second money. The time in these
heats was 2.1s IA and al, which was
remarkably fast.
