NEW YORK. Aug. ia big crowd wit
messed the last days sport Of the Grand
Circuit meeting at Brighton Beach to-day
The card did not promise much, yet II pro-
vided an exceedingly sensational race, and
a new worlds record, the amateur wagon
race record being broken twice, first by
c. Z. Bedford's York Boy, which went the
distance in 2:O8% and a few minutes later
by r. 4. Smather's Lord Derby. which
made the mile in 2.O5A in his first heat and
2.Os4 in his second heat against Louise
Jefferson.
The card opened with a novelty race for
the PIP PAGERS. for which Carl Wilkes. as
he had won a heat in a race on the opening
day Of the meeting. was an even-money
choice. Pauline G.. had the pole. but soon
lost #. as Pincheu Wilkes quickly went TO
the front and led the party home by a
couple of lengths. with the favOrite second.
Carl Wilkes was again the choice and this
time Rosebud made a runaway race Of it,
with Pauline G.. second. In the third heat
Carl Wilkes. still the choice. rewarded his
supporters by winning.
In the 2O7 trot the money fairly poured
in at 100 TO IS on The Monk against the
field In the first heat The Monk and An
celia went Tapped all the way around 10 the
top of the stretch. where the mare broke
and The Monk took a good lead. Amelia
settled and came very fast, but was beaten
half a length. Pools now sold 100 to 25 on
The Monk. The Monk led, with Amelia
second. and they got TO the quarter in :S1A
seconds. when Kingmond went TO second
place. They got to the half in 1904. The
Monk came down the stretch for all he was

speed, got almost 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 Amelia Tapped. Around the top turn
The Monk got in front and led to the dis
lance, where Amelia, In a brilliant dash,
came up and beat him out BY a neck. The
market was 80 10 80 on Amelia in the next
heat, and she led all the way around, but
in the stretch Geers tried one OF his old
tire drives. The Monk responded gameiy
and looked like a winner, but went to a
break. and the mare won. The last heat
was a repetition for the fourth heat, An
celia carrying off the race.
The wagon racers smashed the amateur
race record twice, and Lord Derby, by trot-
ting in 2:05h, set a champion mark which
will take a lot Of beating. The record had
previously been beaten by York Boy in
2:0SA. In the latter event four 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 PIP. In the
second neat 1OFk boy ana Alice barnes
went like a team to the half in los. when
York Boy let out a link and came home
five lengths to the good in 2:OS%, a
worlds record for trotting to wagon
in a race. His triumph was short
lived. however, as in the next race
between Lord Derby and Louise Jefferson.

while the mare was driven by her owner.

no promise of a record-breaking perform
snce, but the next quarter was rather
faster, and he shot by the half in 1882,
and came home like a steam engine in
2:5A, which beats his own regular profess
