and fast track favored the Grand
Circuit races at Oakley The unfinished
211 pace, in which Don Riley and Fra
zier had two each and Salem one of the
five heats decided Wednesday, was
carded first. Frazier made a break at
the half mile ground and Don Riley
beat him out a head, closing the event.
1t took five hard heats by a field Of
fourteen TO decide the 2.15 trot. The
first heat went to Ga1beter, the second
to Eddie H. and the next three to the
favorite, Nobel, from the Walnut Hall
farm in Kentucky. There were six
teen starters in the 2:1S pace. but after
Benedict held back Cousin Madge, in
the first heat, and let Mirah take it,
there was nothing in it with the In
dianapOlis mare and she won the next
two in fast time. The second heat re-
suited in a dead heat between Cousin
Madge and Joan for the place. The 2.10
trOt had but three starters. Dolly Bid

ness and all bets declared off. Be
cause of the trotting in the first heat,
the judges We're of the opinion that Nc
Graw did not drive r. b. p. for the
heat. and after assessing him $50 they
declared off all bets and put Hudson
in for the second heat. Sister Alice
had no trouble in taking this. as she
had the first, and B. b p. barely saved
his distance. The next heat went TO
Miss Sligo by a length, with b. b. p.
again struggling to get inside of the
flag. It was now too dark to trot, and
