The third heat furnished the sensa-
ton of the day and was the finest
finish of the meeting thus far. Tinker
led all the way around to the half,
with Lucy ITeyer second and Rachel
third. Tinker kept II length ahead of
the field until the turn was made,
| when McChesney flashed into view at
the head of the stretch. The whistle
| of the whips was painfully apparent as
Hannis. Tinker's driver, saw he vas
being over hauled. Pure Gold was also
coming strong and the trio came down
to the finish line under full Roadway
and under severe punishment. Just at
the wire McChesney caught the leader
| aud pushed his nose In front, Il win
| ncr of the heat by q hair almost, while
Pure Gold vas also close up. Tinker
leading him across the line by a neck.

ker was shut out by Pure Gold swcrv-
ing over, but he had Gun a way out
of the pocket by the time the quarter

a run and went on the gallop for fifty
feet. while Pure Gold paced around

Third Race-2.2O Trot.
There were five starters out of seven
entries. Light Lunch drew the pole,
with Ray NJ. second. 1t was quite a
relief to the eye to see a field of horses
not one of whom wore a hopple. The
first trip down to the wire they were
SEM away to a good start. The first
time around Light Lunch led Dan by
a length, but "a caught up at the
lower turn and went by Light Lunch
(who, by the way, was the biggest
horse on the track, while the brown
gelding vas paving the air and Dan
came home first by a length. A pc
culiar feature Of this heat was that
ten seconds after the word was given
the entire quintette of trotters had
broken n were raising the dust
around the first bend. Light Lunch
seemed TO be unable to keep his feet
for a furlong at a time. Time-2.21
In the second heat the horses got off
the first time. Ray NJ. led all the way
to the half, when he broke. and the
field passed by, a taking the lead
and holding it to the end, finishing a
length ahead Of Maud s.. who was Il
half length in front of Light Lunch.
Time-2.241a.
The third heat proved to be Dams
all the way, and he picked up the heat
in good style. Ray NJ. kept closest to
him III the journey. and at the finish
was a half length behind the Altoona
sorrel and the same distance from
Maud S. Second and third money
was ordered to be equally divided be-
tween Ray Nj. and Light Lunch. Sum-
nary:
40 class, trotting: purse. 500.

After the races were disposed of an
exhibition mile was driven by DR..
Wicksell, a veterinary surgeon OF
Shamokin. to get a record for his row
gelding PaXinos, which had never be-
fore been driven on Il track. The trot-
ter was preceded by a spotted coach
dog, which kept about twenty feet in
front of him all the way around both
times. The gelding did the mile in
2.37la, which delighted his owner, who
did not expect better time than $40
for his young horse.
