DRIVING PARK MEETING.
2;1O TrOt Won by Sister AIice-Har-
vest Renped by on
the Defeat Of ShadOw Chimes.

CLEVELAND, o., July 22.-Ideal racing
weather, a large crowd and a track as
smooth as the top of a billiard table char
acterized the opening day of the Grand
Circuit meeting at the Cleveland Driving
Park this afternoon. Heretofore it has been
the policy Of the Cleveland Driving Park
Company to charge no admission on the
opening day of the Grand Circuit races,
but to-day the full admission price was
charged. This. however. did not keep away
the crowds. and about five thousand persons
were on hand TO see Starter Abe Barnard
give the word Co.. to the 2:10 t~rotters.
The finishes of the two heats of the first
race were close and exciting. but Sister
Alice succeeded in sticking her nose under
the wire a winner in both heats. In fact,
so close was the first heat the judges de-
liberated fully five minutes before giving
their decision. Nonomie was a hot favorite
in the second race, but Martha Marshall
was too fleet for the Helm entry and won
in straight heats. Metallas, in the third
race, trotted away from the bunch in each
heat, keeping a safe gap OF daylight be-
tween himself and his fast flying competi-
tors. Ed Geer's Shadow Chimes was slated
to win the fourth event, bets of 100 to 80
being freely made on him. Audubon Boy
made the pace in both heats and came out
victorious in the closest and most exciting
race OL the udy. SDdQOW CnlfneS lea In
the stretch in the first heat, but broke Just
before the wire was reached, thus killing
all chances of crossing a winner. Thou
sands of dollars were placed on the Geers
entry, and the bookies reaped d rich har-
vest. Summaries:
