RACING AT READvILLE.
First Day OF Grand Circuit Races saw
Some Fast Heats.


Readyille. Mass, August 2i.-The
grand circuit fixture for the Readville
mile track began this afternoon with
splendid prospects for the week OF light
harness racing. The track was never In
better shape and several horses were
obliged to make new figures for them
selves. The attendance was very large,
and with plenty of money in sight the
interest in the card was at all times very
keen. Two stake races and two class
events one Of which went over until
tomorrow ON account Of darkness, made
up the programme. Only one favorite
reached winning money and he did so
without giving:the others chance. can
other sfavorite had such poor. luck that 1t
left big field to pick from and good
chance for betters to beat the talent.
The futurity event for thlee-year-olds,
won by Idolita (2.21 1-4,) was faster than
the favorite Extasy could go, although
the latter was booked to win even after
two heats.
The Neponset stake had Hal b.,
(2.04 1-2), for the favorite, and as the
mark was so much better than the class,
ii is not surprising that he showed the
way all round.
The 2.12 class, pacing. was won by
bairyiew. an outsider, afser Free Bond,
the great favorite, had miserably failed
70 get insids the distance flag in the first
heat.
The $50 class, trotting, which went
over, brought out a strong male IN
Letah S, e II 1-4). which, after getting
a start way in the rear In the second,
made the wire with greatest ease. In
the first heat, DIR. Pltzens position at the
pole had helped him TO win by a length
over Letah S. Summary:
New England Futurity, $4,000; Foals of
1886; Trotting; Three in Five.
