Ger was poorly driven or she would have won
the race. Eloree made u discoureging showing.

the heat to within twenty wards OF the finish.
After winning two heats OF the 2:20 class trot
Geers, behind The Monk, lost tho third heat by

finishing first. The Monk won the fourth heat

lowed close by Bright Light, WITH Jtvslin third,
