BUFFALO IN. ". Aug. S-Search-
lights three heats in the 2:04 pace at
the Fort Erie grand circuit meeting
to-day were the fastest ever paced or
trotted in Canada. Bogash was not
able. however, to push the winner to
the limit Searchlight always sold a
heavy favorite in the pooling.
A big crowd turned out for the second
day of the meeting. Spear laid up
Royal Baron. the M. and M. winner,
for two heats in the 2:24 trot, the
Electricity stake. and then came on
and outfooted Owyhee at the wire for
two heats. With the pools selling $23
on the Baron to So on the field, they
came out for the fifth heat. Spear
took the Baron far back, and in the
stretch, although he was surely CATCH
ing the leader. 100 yards from the wire
it looked like fight. At that time, how
ever, Baron left his feet and galloped
under the wire second. 1t was big
upset, and Nick Hubinger dropped a
big lot of money.
After three good heats in the 2:2O
trot the sun was STILL at 40 o'clock
streaming over the track, but the
judges decided to postpone it until to-
with George Carney, who had two
heats, and was beating his party to
pieces. He protested to no avail, and
then, after the judges and spectators
he came out alone and did the mile in
2:3S, and CLAIMED the race on tho
ground that there was no occasion for
postponing the race. and that the rules
sustained him. The judges tonight
say that they will call Carney to-mor.
