THE TROT UNFINISHED.
The 2:2S trot proved to be one of the
best races of the day, and has not yet
been finished The heat or heats to be
trotted this afternoon will be watched
with considerable interest. There were
several bad actors in the first heat, and
the inability of their drivers to hold
them down, permitted Heinrindao 10
come under the wire first, in the slow
est heat of the race
In the second heat Ferris w. took the
pole from Henrinda on the back
stretch, and led by two lengths at the
half, while Neva passed Heinrinda, and
fought gamely with Ferris in the back
stretch, but went off his feet, and when
he settled down was compelled to &C
| cept second place, Ferris w. first.
Ferris w. took the third heat also by
steady work over the entire distaonce.
In the fourth the. pole horse was sent
around at a fast clip, and on the last
haolf Improve showed a nice burst OF
speed. and made magnificent finish,
going under the wire aaength ahead OF
Ferris. w. Summary:

THE FREE-FOR-ALL.
The stellar event on the card for the
afternoon was the free-for-all pace, in
which there were four stearters. Eff1e
Powers sold a big favorite at the book
| makers stalls, at 20 to 10 against the
field When the word was given in the
first heat, Moonstone got away nicely
and was in the lead at the quarter, hard
pushed by Effie, who had spurted
ahead of Frank Rysdyk. The lead was
| decreased to a half length at the half,
and the positions were unchanged up
on entering the home stretch, when
Moonstone pulled away and finished
| four lengths ahead of Effie.
In the second hyat Effie tried to take
| the pole from Moons tone at the second
turn but failed. On the front stretch it
| was pretty race and going around the
| lower turn Effie and MoonStone were
neck and neck, the former gradually
showing her head in front until a
length separated them at the three
quarter pole, which was doubled at the
wire
There was nothing to it after this
heat, Effie winning as he pleased.
Moonstone put up a game fight, but
was clearly out-stepped by the Marietta
mare Summary:
