postponements on account of rain the fall
meeting of the Kentucky Trotting Horse
Breeders meeting began at 1880 o'clock
this morning with six races on the
programme. The event of the day, the
$4,000 Futurity for three-year-old trotters
was quite a surprise for the talent, being
won in straight heats by Peter the Great,
Michigan colt which sold for SIS in pools
of 500. The favorite. Charley Herr, made
game fight for every heat, but vas out
footed. Peter the Great won each heat with
something to spare. A popularity of the
race was that second, third and fourth
moneys were divided between Charley Herr,
Limerick and Seraphina. The stake was
worth $500 to the winner, with $500 to his
nominator, d. d. Streater. Kalamazoo,
Mich. who still owns him.
In the 300 pace Searchlight, the wonder
of the year, was prohibitive favorite, SELL
ing at $50 to so for the field. The real con-
test in this was for second place, which
fell to Sherman Clay, Nicol B. third. The
third race on the card was a split heat af-
fair for trotters of the 2:15 class. Guy won.
The $1,000 Futurity for two-year-old trotters
was won by The Merchant Handspring
and Boralma divided second and third
moneys. The Merchant is owned by his
nominator, w. A. Paxton. of Omaha. Neb
Miss Logan was favorite in the Wilson
stake for PAGERS of the 2:2O class, but was
unable to land the money for her hackers
although she was the contending horse in
each heat, except the second, which she
laid up. The race was won by Lady of the
Manor in driving finishes in the first, second
and fourth heats. The race for trotters of
the 2:OS class brought out strong field.
The race was the only one of six that was
unfinished, 1t going over until Tomorrow
The classic Pennsylvania is on the card
for Tomorrow. The ante-post betting on
this race is the heaviest in the history of
the race, Bingen being the favorite To-
