The 2,12 Trot.
The 2:12 trot was rather disappoint-
ing from a speed standpoint. the time
being very slow on account of the
heavy track. Edna Cook was a strong
first choice in the betting ring, and
after taking the first heat the odds
upon the little mare were almost pro-
hibitive. Edna Cook took three straight
heats, completely outclassing the other
horses in the race Her ariver held
her back in each heat, and she was
not pushed at any stage. The race was
between Wanken and Blanche X. for
second place.

The ESQ Pace.
There was a big field of starters and
good Gods were placed against all Of
them, with Harry the favorite in the
first heat. After considerable scoring,
a rather bad start was made and at
the first turn they were stretched out
in long procession with Banner Girl
in the lead. Banner Girl increased the
gap by several lengths on the three
quarters and finished the easiest win
ner of the day. Col. Breckenridge
second. Time, 2:23&.
Banner Girl was sold the favorite.
AS in the first heat, the horses were
stretched out in procession, with Ban
ner Girl leading Ben Williams three
lengths at the half, the rest several
lengths behind. On the back stretch
Annie made a magnificent squirt and
went into second place, but could not
close up the gap, Banner Girl taking
the heat as she pleased. Time, 2:20A.
Banner Girl went right to the front
at the start, but behaved badly on the
lower turn and dropped back into
sixth place, key Boy going to the
front, but surrendering the lead to Col.
Breckenridge at the half. Meanwhile
Banner Girl came up into fourth place.
The finish was the most exciting of the
day. Four horses came into the
stretch going almost neck and neck,
and within few feet of the wire An
ME N passed Ben Croker and won by
half a length. Col. Breckenridge was
third head behind Croker. Time,
2:26A.
There was beautiful start in the
fourth heat and Annie N. went direct
ly to the front, while Banner Girl
nroke lady on the first turn. At the
half Banner Girl had closed the gap
and passed Annie NJ, increasing the
lead to a length on the back stretch.
Annie NJ, with apparent ease, then
passed Banner Girl and came in an
easy winner, Banner Girl being driven
under the whip. Ben Croker took
