ON THE GRAND CIRCUIT
Racing in the Mud the Feature
at Columbus.
HEAVY THUNDER SHOWER
The Home Stretch Was a Sea of Mud
Very Fast Time Made, Consider
ing the Condition OF
the Track.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 3.---Racing in the
mud was the feature of the Grand Circuit
meeting to-day. After three heats had
beer run heavy thunder shower came
up and drenched the track. The home
stretch was a sea of mud for short time
but the big crowd waited patiently until
it had dried sufficiently to permit the
horses to go.
1t was o'clock before racing could be
resumed and two events We're finished be-
fore darkness interviewed. The last four
heats were long miles and, considering the
heavy track, the time was very fast.
Ananias won the 2:07 pace in straight
heats and apparently without effort. The
Cleveland horse was favorite in the bet
ting. but Miss Logan was heavily backed
on the strength of her winning at Cleve-
land last week. The first heat was paced
before the rain and there was not one of
the horses in the big field that could push
Ananias. Charlie B. followed Ananias
down the stretch ahead of the bunch and
finished second by two lengths. The
judges thought James had not driven
Charlie b. out and the gelding was set
back to 18th place after finishing second.
There were q starters in the ZIG pace,
two heats of which were paced before the
rain. Harry o. was the favorite in the
betting, but had formidable competitor
in Nerva Patchen. Harry o. finished 18th
in the first heat and then won in consecu-
tive heats. Nerva Patchen was driven out
in the first heat. but gave the favorte
a sharp brush at the finish in the next
two heats. In the last heat Violation took
to the good at the pole and in the
stretch powed around the bunch beating
Egosen out of second place.
The 2:07 trot was postponed until to-
morrow. when an effort will be made to
clear up the weeks programme.
