TRACK and WEATHER PERFECT.

new OrA sept. 4.-Ihe inaugural
grand circuit meeting of the Empire
City Trotting Club began under the
! happiest auspices. The weather was
| perfect, but the new track was faster
than ever any track was known to be
before. For the 2.15 pace, Billy Andrews
was a hot favorite at about to 1, and
he won in straight heats. In the sec
ond heat there was a magnificent race
for second place. Johnny Agan, Dare
! Devil and Free Bond came down the
stretch like team, and it was only
| just at the wire that Agan won the
! place by an eyelash.
! The fret-for-all stallion purse, $4,000,
brought together eight of the best cam
| paigners Of the season, and Bingen sold
at 10 l over the field, though the best
| judges backed Cresceus.
Cresceus landed both heats with The
greatest ease. Charlie Herr was the
contending horse, Bingen broke badly
in each heat, getting the flag in the sec
ond heat.
In the 21S pace the talent plunged on
Edward s., at 20 to so for the field. He
made a sorry show in the first heat
Oscar L. won cleverly. In the second
heat the favorite led all the way to the
finish, with Oscar L. second. In the
third heat Edward S. led to the distance
stand, with Belle Cannon, when Oscar
L. came with rush, the two leaders
going into the air, Oscar L. winning the
heat and race.
In the 220 trotting class. the bay stall
lion Owyhee was the favorite at 100 to
so on. Hc won as he pleased. During
the afternoon Edward Strauss drove mis-
80 Oh, 49, i
