GRAND CIRCUITS FAST TRACK
A SUCCESSION OF STRAIGHT
HEATS AND SURPRISES.
Time of 2:O9 Made In the 2:1O Trot
-Favorites Won In Many of the
Days Events.

Readville, Mass, Aug. 22.-t was
practically straight heats in the grand
circuit races, an extra heat being re-
quired in only an unfinished race of
yesterday. The track was fast The
great stake of the day, the Blue Hill,
| for the 2:30 trotters, was easy for
Kingmond, the Portsmouth horse being
scarcely pushed in any of three heats.
Three events passed off smoothly, with
Letah taking the unfinished 2:20 trot
and Billy Andrews the 2:25 pace. 1t
took two heats to finish the 2:20 trot,
which came over from yesterday, the
faVorite, Letah S, breaking in the third
heat and coming in well behind. In
the forth and deciding heat, however,
she took the lead at the start and was
never headed, winning easily.
The 2:25 pace was soon over, for the
favorite, Billy Andrews, led in every
heat, his driver pulling him up in the
last one to give the other horses a
rating.
In both heats of the 2:15 trot Tessie
S pressed Rubber hard. In the first
she finished a neck behind. but in the
second she had broke just before the
finish and Rubber came in three
lengths ahead.
Halle Rocket Wed with Kingmond
for favorite place in the stake race
but the mare went off her feet soon
after the start and the Portsmouth
horse kept the lead to the finish. King
mond had q pretty fight with Wilask
in the second heat and with Valpa in
the third, but neither could catch him.
The 2:10 trot was a surprise, Bouncer
taking both heats and the race, while
the favorite, Battleton, did not seem
to have the speed. In the first heat
the bay mare kept the pole from the
start. and, although closely pressed at
the half by Captain Jack, managed to
hold the lead to the wire. The time
2:09-was the fastest of the day. The
second heat was almost a repetition of
the first, Bouncer never being headed,
although she showed signs of distress
in the stretch, and Belle J, coming
strong, almost caught her at the wire.
Again the favorite, Battleton, finished
behind. Results:
