Busy week for Horsemen-Outlook for State
and Circuit Meets-
As Is usual after a race meet Fleetwood WA
in a restful mood yesterday, and there was moth
ing doing on tho track to interest the slim at
tendance.
The experimental midsummer meeting was
generally voted q success, aside from q few
judicial shortcomings, which arc Inevitable
accessories of all Fleetwood meetings., and but
for the almost continuous run Of bad weather,
1t would have been a good money-maker Asit
is, the association will probably como out whole,
which is all that was desired.
The charity matinee at Fleetwood to-mor-
row and the Parkway meeting on Wednesday,
Thursday. and Friday. will DO the features of
the present week In local trotting horse circles.
II as successful in the matter Of entries as
the Fleetwood meeting, the Brooklyn asso-
citation will furnish three days Of good racing.
An effort is being made to arrange fer q
novel feature, intended to increase tho attrac-
tiveness of to-morrow's charity matinee. This
is no less than q practical test of the relative
difference in speed between tho old high wheel
and the bicycle sulky. The idea is to offer q
CUP for both trotters and PAGERS eligible to tho
2:l5 and 2:20 classes. or some relative divis-
ions, the former to be handicapped by the old
fashioned wheels. while the slower class will
have the speed-improving advantage afforded

won his race In such easy fashion that &c can

of Star Pointer, IL ready to back him against
the Baron Wilkes geiding for any amount.

2:15, and then put her to breeding. She was
brought out again last season and took n mark
Of 2:11x.
The Circuit battles will be renewed this
week at the popular Cleveland track.
Thus far the metropolitan representatives in
the Grand Circuit have not performed In q man
ner to encourage local pride. However, tho
,eason Is still a long one, and with the high class
horses which are carrying the New York cOlors
on the big rings" 1t win not be long before
more gratifying reports may be looked for,
cago Saturday last In 2:03. 2:03N, and 2:O44,
Star Pointer can fairly lay claim 10 tho pacins
championship Of the world, barring the actual
record.
From the form thus far shown he alone, of
the "ndg five" seems capable Of comprising the
lonR-anticipatod two-minute mile, and that no
can do this whenever called upon seems to DO
the opinion Of all who have seen his performance
this season.
Ex-Alderman Hughes. who purchased Ed
Lock, 2:lSk. on Saturday, has turned tho horse
ovor to George Mcbride, who will look after bis
training for The balance Of the season.
