Each Have Two Heats.

READVILLE, Mass, Aug. S1.-The chief
event at the Grand Circuit races to-day
was the Massachusetts Stake. for trotters.
and. while six brisk heats were worked off
it went over until tomorrow, the Cleveland
mare Carocalla, the Macon (Ga) horse
Grattan Boy and the New Haven mare
Belle J. being left to settle it between
them, with two heats apiece. The favoritos
had no show in the event. Directum Kelly
did not start, as he was i'll, and Malcolm
Forbes's gelding Nico. the favorite was
drawn after two heats. Matte Patterson
who was considered dark horse met more
than her match After taking two heats
straight Carocalla broke in the first quar-
ter in the two succeeding heats and was ap-
parently laid up in the fifth, expecting the
race to so over. 1t looked as if finish
would come in the sixth. but Grattan Boy
was strongest and added another first to
his score. Battleton, with Geers up, being
dlstanced i'll the first heat, was much COM
mented on. The race next in interest was
the 2:20 class trot Chanty won, but the
finish, with Niger Jack and Cehbate, was
very close, noses counting. In the second
heat Niger Jack led, but got set back for
running, and the same fate happened to
Chanty in the next heat, after winning at
the wire. The pretty event was the pacing
stake for three-year-old in which Sylvan
Way won, after distancing in the second
McJoe, who had won in the first. The sec
ond heat was one of the fastest in the class
this season. The unfinished 2:17 trot from
yesterday went to Parnell, jr., two straight
heats, in easy shape. Tomorrow Star
Pointer is going against his own world
