Two Races That We're Cinshes and
One Split Up.
Dombey, Jr., Kingmond
and Mazette Winners.
Hair-Raising Fini.hes in the
2.17 Pacing Race.

There were more people ut Rigby yes
terhay than ever before attended an at
traction there, aside from New England
fair week. Mr.. Reed didn't honor the
grandstand again with his presence, but
there was distinguished company in
President BurnhAm's box, including
Hon. Frank jones. Senator Daniel Of
New Hampshire and ex-senator Grout
Of Vermont.
Mr.. Jones came down to see his great
racing gelding Kingmond lead the 2.25
trotters around the course. The race was
only workout for Kingmond. he win
ming the three heats without the least bit
Of an argument.
Kingmond is just back from the big
rings, and he brought with him new
mark of $40 1-2, made In the fifth heat
Of the NJ. and NJ. stake ut Detroit. There
was nothing else in the fold within five
or six seconds Of his marx, and he was
considered so sure a winner that he was
tarred in the pools. Lucrative was sec
ond choice In the preliminary guessing.
and next to her the Portland horse Ar
thur Cleveland was rated good. Under
ordinary circumstances Lucrative would
have had an easy time of 1t In such a
field, but she wentIa hard race at Rigby
on the first day OF the nesting, and two
races In single week are a little too
much for even a good campaigner.
Arthur Cleveland was well backed. and
he did get place In the second heat
which entitled him to third money, Miss
Pratt trotting of with the second largest
slive Of the stake.
The 2.13 pace WAS another s'off the
reel" gilt to a big favorite. Dombey,
Jr., with record of 2. "a, had "the
talent with him, and he landed the heats
quite handily, but clipped half second
Oh his record. 1t was great mix-up
Queen vitello being hot after 1t in every
heat.
The All pace was the only spit IN race
OF the afternoon. O'Neil Ilrothers' good
stallion Journeyman, with Billy O'Neil
up behind him, looked as II he could
take 10 In straight heats, and the backing
was with him. He started In this season
as Eli la PAGER, and landed here this
week In the 2.1l class. The second
choice In that race was the much stouted
Mazette, mare owned aud driven by
Mr.. Il. ). Bailey, Brockton business
man. who makes horse racing his fad.
He had been saving her for several weeks
in anticipation of yesterdays effort, and
he succeeded in carrying off first money
with her, but not till Journeyman an 4
DIR. il. had each taken heat The speed
she showed at the finish of every mile
ought to have insured. a straight-heat
winning. hut the mare took things too
easily in the opening neat, and in the
fourth made IA bad break which forced
her to lay MP the heat DR. L q roam
Relding from Lebanon, N. H., showed
lots OF speed In spots. and was a good
finisher In all but the preliminary mile.
Mazette's mark dropped to 2.i0 "a, and
DIR. L. y TO 2.12 1-2.
The summary:
225 Glass, Trotting: Stake $1,000.
