terdaY - Morris County Driving
Associations First Meeting a
Success-Neil AIcyoner's Exhibi-
tiOns.
The three days racing at the Driv-
ing Park under the auspices of the
Morris County Driving Association
was brought to successful, conclusion
yesterday afternoon. While the at
tendance was only fairly good, there
was an excellent list of entries, fast
time and some very pretty events.
The most remarkable feature of the
meeting was the performance of
Prince Alert in the last event yester-
day. 1t was the Free for All Trot or
Pace and there was only a field of
fve Prince Alert won three straight
heats in nice style. In the second he
ran away from the bunch and finished
good sixteenth ahead of Lizzie
Wilkes and L. L. D., the latter two
horses passing the wire almost neck
and neck Prince Alert did the mile
in 2. 09, which is new state record.
Neil Alcyoner, the guideless Won
der, paced an exhibition mile each
day. The time for this exhibition
was on the three days, respectively
O.. 90, 2. 10 and 2. IA.
Owing to darkness the 2. .16 trotting
class was not finished Wednesday but
two more heats were necessary to de-
eide the event yesterday. st. George
won handily, with Tattler good
second.
Col. E. G. Edwards, who was
official starter, said he had never
known of meeting where arrange
ments had been better or where fewer
disputes had occurred between drivers.
1t is believed that the races at the
Driving Park here will serve to create
an interest in such events that has
not been felt in Morris County in a
long time.
The timers were: w. r. Cook, W.
L. Tompkins and John Hess. Music
was furnished daily by the Citizen s
Band of Madison.
