Under the wire.

NEW YORK, Aug. ia big crowd witt
messed the last days races Of the Grand
Circuit meeting at Brighton Beach today.
The card did not promise much, yet II
furnished a highly sensational race, and a
new worlds record, the amateur wagon rec
ord being broken twice, first by @. 70. Bed
ford's York Boy. in 2:0S%. and a few min
ntes later by e. Z. Smathers' Lord Derby,
in 2:05% for his first heat and 2:06% for
his second heat, against Louise Jefferson.
The card opened with a novelty race for
the 2:12 PAGERS, for which Carl Wilkes, as
he had won a heat in a similar race on
the opening day of the meeting, was an even
money choice. Pauline G. had the pole.
but quickly lost It to Pinchem Wilkes, Carl
Wilkes was again the choice and this time
The Rosebud made a runaway race OF It
with Pauline @. second. In the third heat,
Carl Wilkes, still the choice. rewarded his
supporters by winning.
In the 2:07 trot the money fairly poured
in at 100 to rs on The Monk against the
field. In the first heat The Monk and An
sella went Tapped all the way to the top
stretch, where the mare broke and The
Monk took a good lead. Ansella settled
and came very fast, but was beaten half a
length. Pools now sold 100 to 25 on The
Monk. The Monk led with Ansella second,
and they got to the quarter in 0:31k, when.
Kingmond went to second place. They got
to the half in 1854, The Monk came
down the stretch for all he was worth, but
Ansella, with an extra burst of speed, got
on even terms and was only defeated by
a neck. The third heat was most exciting
from start to finish. The Monk and Chain
shot went neck-and-neck up the back
stretch, with Ansella Tapped. Around the
top turn The Monk got in front and led
to the distance pole, where Ansella, in a
brilliant dash came up and beat him out
by a neck. The market was 30 to IS on
Ansella in the next heat and she led all
the way around, but in the stretch Geers
tried one of his old-time drives. The Monk
responded gamely and looked like a winner,
but went to a break and the mare won.
The last heat was a repetition Of the fourth
heat, Ansella carrying of the prize.
Smash Amateur Record.
The wagon racers smashed the amateur
record twice and Lord Derby set a cham
pion mark which will likely stand for some
time. The record had previously been beaten
by York Boy in 2:0s%. In the latter event
foHr started and Alice Barnes led to the
half, with York Boy close up. Here Mr..
Bedford sent York Boy to the front and
won In 2:12. In the second heat York Boy
and Alice went like a team to the stretch,
when York Boy let out a line and came In
FIVE lengths to the good, in 2:08K, a record
for the wagon. The triumph was short
lived, however, as In the next race be-
tween Lord Derby and Louise Jefferson 1t
was cut to 2:05%. Lord Derby was driven
by his owner, e. e. Smather, while the
mare was driven by her owner, c.. X. @.
Billings.
AS soon as the word was given Lord
Derby went to the front and got the quar-
ter in 0:32A, which gave no promise Of a
record-breaking performance. but the sec
ond quarter was faster, and he shot by the
half in 1:03h and came nome like a steam
engine in 2:O5%, which beat his own prof
~fesional record of 2:06h. Lord Derby and
his owner were loudly cheered when they
returned to the judges stand.
