with universal favor.
There wers seven horses entered In the
2.3S class, and nearly all of them had
participated in one OF the races Of Tues
day. There was any amount of scoring
before the first heat In this class was
bsguu. The drivers displayed an unusual
degree of activity in leading of and
finally Starter Morrill, after his patience
had been exhausted was obliged to threat
en- each one who should further disobey
instruCtions with tine of $40. This
caution had q most salutary effect for at
the next attempt the horsemen went un
der the wire In the prettiest possible style
and the word was given. Ohio broke
rather badly. while nearing the half, after
he had taken q commanding lead
Frank Onward was quick TO take advan :
tage of this mishap and landed winner.
In the second heat Frank Onward broke
at the start but soon recovered bis feet.
ELIZA NJ. Wilkes went up into the air at
the half and was distanced. Two Of the
drivers claimed that Mitchell ran into
Rootjaok: quite q heated controversy fol :
lowed but nothing resulted from 1t. The
third heat was replete with breaks in
which Bay ardsan, Jack Leo and Charlie
were the participants. Otho was able to
maintain HIS fast gait in the fourth and
