COLUMBUS. Ohio. Aug. THE two fast. pacing
classes on to-day's card drew out the first fair
sized audience Of the week. The interest would
undoubtedly have been greater but for the
presence In each race Of a top-heavy favorite.
Patrons, however. seem to delight In seeing fast
mles. and In that respect the afternoons card
was unusually prolific.
For the 2i0 pace the starters were rated in
the betting as follows: Hetty O.. $3.50: Sidney
Pointer. $50: the field. consisting OF Riley B.

seemed to be generally expected that hetty q.
would be able 10 take the measure OF the son Of
Star Pointer. 1884, but 1t was not thought that
the latter would drop out of the contest as
easily and early as he did.
The feature of the race was in the first quar-
ter OF the opening heat, when Hetty G..
Sidney Pointer and Lottie Smart stepped away
to the eighth pole in II seconds and Lotte Smart

rife brush. Before they reached the quarter in
0.So4 the Denver mare had clear sailing. for
both the others had made break. Hetty G..

Pointer horse. did not fare so well. The horse
did not seem inclined to strike pace again and
continued Jumping until hopelessly behind the
nag Hetty q. and Lotte Smart finished almost
head and head under hard drive in 2:0S4.
The Denver mare was not legged UP for such
brushing contest and Dropped out Of the hunt
In the other two heats. which Hetty q. won In
2:Oo and 2O6H. In the second round the winner
was forced along by Clinton B.. who sho we'd
