to the first heat. Battle Sign cut tendon
Of his fore leg during the second heat and
may not start again this season. Sagwa,
another leading. candidate was not
started. The elimination of the fast ones
made it any ones race, but after three
of the six heats had been gone the two
leaders had developed. The time was not
proportionately fast the track being heavy
after the rains. The day was clear and
cool.
Twelve thousand people saw today's
events and approximately $4,000 is esti-
mated to have gone into the betti ng ring.
Until yesterday Lady Geraldine was
owned by Col. Isaac Goff of Providence,
r. I. Today it was announced that he
had sold but the buyer and consideration
We're not diyulged. The new owner
placed the bay mare in the hands of Ed
Geers until after today's race and Geer's
drove her to the winning thereby getting
both first and third moneys amounting to
upwards of $60OO
In the first heat Battle Sign led for the
last halt mile.
Geers tried to drive out of the bunch in
the stretch but Geraldine broke at the
critical point and Battle Sign finished
two lengths ahead of Axtello. Lady Ger
aldine made a sensational winning of the
second heat, rushing past Axtello who
was second. After Battle Signs accident
Annie Burns got her nose in front for the
first time during the third heat, after a.
brush with Red Arthur. Geers tried an
other of his spurts in.the stretch but Geral-
dine broke just as she was passing Red
Arthur ana Annie Burns and the latter
won the heat, finishing just ahead of
Red Arthur. Annie Burns also captured
the fourth heat, closely chased by Geral-
dine. The Gray mare cut up badly during
the fifth and Geers drove Geraldine in
slow, evidently to prevent a shut ting out
of Burns who narrowly escaped it the
judges finally deciding that Burns was
not distanced, which decision the crowd
uproariously approved. The gray mare
broke badly in the stretch IN the last heat
and the Lady Geraldine won easily in
slow time. Lady Pipes, the favorite won
the 2.13 pace, and James r., an outsider,
the 2 20 pace.

2.14 Pace.
Maxim Carries OFF HOnors of
2.OS Pace.

Old Orchard, July 1S.-The fastest six
heats Witnessed in a single afternoon at
the Old Orchard kite track in many sea-
sons were paced today IN the 2.08 and
z. II classes. The fastest heat was 2.0714,
by the Philadelphia mare Maxine. The
average time OF the six heats was 2.OS1z.
The three horses that yesterday won two
heats apiece in the 2. Il pace came out for
the final mile and fought from wire to
wire. Pilot Medium, Jr., which had
practically no rating in the preliminary
guessing, and created sensation by
twice winning heats in 2 09A, hitched to
a road cart, won the race.
The two fast races on the regular card
went off in straight heats, but every heat
was fiercely contested, as is evident by
the time hung out. The mare Mazette,
which forced Island Wilkes, Jr., to a
mark of 2.O9A at Dover last week was
picked rs the favorite among the starters
in the 2 Il pace. Ambulator was second
choice. The Boston gelding, WIN Ley
burn, which was behind the money in the
Dover race, had his racing edge on and
be headed the field home three times
in succession, but lowered his mark to
2 0s1z IN the first heat and clipped of an
other quarter second IN the final struggle.
! MaxineE of Philadelphia, the favorite in
the 0s pace, carried off the honors of
the race, likewise Of the afternoon, by
winning off the reel He had to earn the
glory, however, for the positions were
continually changing and in the OPEN
ing heat he was forced to a duplication
of his Dover performance, when he broke
the New Hampshire race track record.
The 19 trot was the only split up
event of the day, Enoch of Wilkesbarre.
Pa, taking two heats before the favorite,
Bow Gun, rounded the field. Bow Gun
is owned in New Hartford, CT, and has
been doing most Of his racing this year
on half mile rings. Both he and Enoch
went to the stables with new marks.
The meeting viii close tomorrow with
a 2.20 pace and a 2 q pace.
