SLATED TO WIN.
But Marjorie Had Off Day
and Horsemen
Lost.

Readville, July 13.-Every condition
of track and weather which is con-
duciye to perfect racing favored the
third days events on the Readville
track this afternoon, Every event was
good, clean horse racing. The new
two-in-three style continues to give
general satisfaction. The 210 pacing
was far and away the finest event of
the meeting, because it brought to-
gether some of the best ones in the
Eastern circuit, and Moth Miller was
forced to make a new record for him
self of 2.071a. The event comes very
near being the fastest thus far this sea-
son, and, although Flirt and Wood
shed are still in the class, they showed
great speed from the word to the WIRE
The ZIG class trotting brought to-
gether horses that finished in strong
shape, and it took four heats to pick
the money takers In the third heat
an accident, which fortunately did not
result seriously, occurred at the three
quarters post Suzette was in the lead
slightly, with the horses well punched.
when Gilbert, her driver it appeared,
attempted to take the pole. The dis
lance was not sufficient to allow it,
and Gilbert's sulky was brought under
TimbrePs nose. Timbrel struck the
ssulky and was thrown headlong, fore
ing Suzette partly to the ground and
Con Withers ran into the mix-up and
got bad fall The horses were un-
injured, as they went another heat, a
little later.
The 2.20 trotting event had II start
ers. Lecco was favorite on good odds,
and led them all twice after fine
brushes in the stretch.
The I'll pace was somewhat out of
the ordinary, for Marjorie, the favorite,
was working badly and could do no bet
ter than second. Kervick, her driver.
was removed, and liter in his place
only saved her from the flag by the
decision of the judges, who waived the
distance mark and put her in fourth
place. Journeyman and Mercury Wilkes
contested every inch of the ground.
and the gap closed by Rama in two in
stances showed her great finisher.
The Worcester mare was evidently
slated to win, and her defeat fell heavi-
~ on a number of prominent Worcester
horsemen who were at the track to
play the mare to wiz. 1t was not her
day. Marjorie money was in evidence
long before the race was called, and she
betting. The summary:
