about half mile. Lewis delayed the
game in this heat also, but after the
fine was imposed there was no more
trouble. Barnard was also much dis
satisfied with the driving of George
Bent, who guided Lady G in this race,
Bent was removed for incompetency.
Hudson was installed in his place,
and the mare did better work during
the remainder of the race, though she
was unable to land better than third
money.
There was one heat to go when Hud-
son took charge, and he went after the
field and hustled them so that the
heat was run in 2:16A, while none of

Raul W., n 3-year-old colt which was
broken to harness only last spring, won
the race and won it easily. and the way
the horse was driven showed that he
can easily make a mile many seconds
faster than It was necessary for him
| to go Wednesday. His winning was a
surprise to all except those who knew
just what the colt could do, but al
though the bookmakers offered good
inducements for spectators, but lit
tie money was placed on the horse un-
til he had won heat, and then the
bookies quickly changed their offers.
Barring the death of DR.. Rabe's
horse, the days sport passed off with
out accident, and the prospects are
that Thursdays races will be seen by a
record breaking crowd.
The officials of the Akron Trotting
association, who feared that the rain
would spoil the sport, were accord.
