continue to be smashed at the Grand
Circuit races at Narragansett park.
The free-for-all pace, the fastest har-
ness class in the world, was today's
special feature and the second heat in
2.O2 fiat was the fastest mile in race
this year. The last half was in one
minute. Anaconda, 2.01A, beat Prince
Alert. 2.00a4. in two straight heats. both
in wonderfully fast time, 2O2a and
2.02. This is the first free-for-all of the
year and its presence on the card was
responsible for very large attend
ance, approximating 1900 people.
Dan Patch, 2.oOA was paraded be-
fore the immense throng and cheered
to the echo. He will start, tomorrow
afternoon. to beat the worlds record.
The track is the fastest in the country
and Myron McHenry thinks he can
drive the fastest mile ever made in
harness.
Shadow Chimes. 2.05, made his first
appearance in the select company of
the free-for-allers, this afternoon, and
Conner. 2.03A, was the fourth starter.
Shadow Chimes drew the pole, with
Prince Alert second, Anaconda third.
and Conner on the outside. George
Spear nodded when Prince Alert was a
length ahead. They got the word and
the hoppled PAGER shot out in front
with Anaconda chasing him. Common
fell into third position and Shadow
Chimes tralled. 1t was a remarkably
even mile in this order to the turn,
where Anaconda overhauled Prince
Alert and they made grand rush down
down the stretch. 1t looked like a dead
neat. but. Anaconda was first at the
wire. The quarters were each in 3oa
seconds, except the second in .3O15. The
first half was in 1.01A.
Prince Alert was three-quarters of
a length back at the start of the second
heat and the four strung out with
Shadow Chimes last. They touched
the quarter in 311a seconds. Prince
Alert was forcing Anaconda and the
TWO opened a gap from Conner and
Shadow Chimes. The second quarter
was in 301s and they were at the half
in 1O2 fiat. Then Mark Demarest
made his drive after the snake horse
and the third quarter was the fastest
of the race. Prince Albert coIlared
Anaconda at the turn and that quarter
was covered in 291s seconds. 1t was
beautiful match and Prince Alert was
making those hopples fly while the two
great PAGERS raced neck and neck.
The son of Crown Prince was firing
while that terrific. clip seemed scarcely
to tell on Anaconda. He came home
the last quarter in 3O1a seconds, maxi
ing the last half in a minute fiat and
the mile in 2.02, the harness record of
the year.
The Roger Williams $4,000 stake
postponed from yesterday made eight
heats. Scott Hudson's blind horse
Rhythmic, the early favorite was dis
tanced in the seventh heat and Nut
bearer won the race.
The 2.14 pacing stake was q hot race
that required six heats to decide.
Anadrosis, 207, the fastest horse bred
in Maine, was liked by quite a fol-
lowing, especially when Myron Nc
Henry drove. Carl Wilkes won the
first heat with a new record of 2.05%
and then the third after Androsis took
the second, but neither could land the
race. Locanda, 2.07A, the Boston
horse owned and driven by James w.
Brodbine, won the last three heats.
The 2.22 trot was won by William
Tell in three straight heats, the fastest
in 2.11la. Major Delmar got the 2.10
trot just as easily.
Prince Alert, 2.00a4, and Anaconda,
2.01A, have been matched for a special
race at the Grand Circuit meeting at
Charter Oak park, Hartford, next
Wednesday.
