CLEVELAND CIRCUIT RACES,
"a Big Programme and Fine Rae
Ing.

Ing.
Cleveland July 26.-There was more
fine sport at the grand circuit races to-
day, the track being very fas tafter It's
thorough soaking on Wednesday. The
programme was a big one, Including
the two races postponed from Iuesday
The first event on the card was the 2:2S
trot. Helen Simmons was the favorite
at 500 to $50 for the field, In the first
heat Dickerson made no effort to push
the mare and George H. Ray led to the
stretch, where Bay Star challenged
him, but Annie Burns came up very
fast on the outside and beat Ray out
after close finish. In the second heat
Annie Burns led to the quarter, where
she broke, and before Dick Wilson, her
driver, could get her on her feet she
had been shut out by the distance flag
Helen Simmons took the heat with ease
and won the race by capturing the
third and fourth heats. Mr.. Middle
may appeared to have more speed than
he was permitted to show, but the
judges made no protest, and in the last
heat Bay Star was permitted to beat
him out for second money. In the 2:2l
trot Onward Silver, from the Village
Farm, was a prohibitive favorite and
he won as he pleased.
The 2:09 pace was the sensational race
of the day. Hettie G. was the favori e,
selling for 500 to $50 for the field. In
the first heat Conner and Riley b.
fought it out to the draw gate, where
the latter forged to the front and was
under the wire first by half length.
In the second heat Conner led all the
way, Riley B. being unable to catch
him. AT the beginning of the third
heat Hettie G. sold favorite at $50, with
$40 for the field, though she had not
won a heat She justified the conf
dence OF her hackers, however, by TAX
ing the last three heats and the race,
covering one mile in 2:061s.
In the 2:17 pace the betting was live
ly owing to the fact that Tom Nolan a
Cleveland horse was to start. lrax
fooled the talent by taking the first
heat after a hot finish with Alcatraz.
In the next two heats Dumont w. and
Nolan fought it out, but the former had
the speed and won.
The deciding heats in the unfinished
races were not especially interesting.
