previous records of the season in races
were The Monk, trotting 2.07. and Dan
Patch, pacing 2.03A. The fastest time
of the season made against the watch
by Dan Patch, 2.00%, was duplicated.
1t was the gala day of the Grand
Circuit meeting and but for a rather
stiff breeze the pacing record might
have gone.

before the first heat Fereno sold al $50
to $50 for the field. Aggie Medium had
the pole. Louise Mac took the lead
with Ferno at her wheel and York Boy
within striking distance. The race
was close but Louise Mac was never
headed and she won by two lengths.
In this heat Susie j. finished seventh.

the second heat and with the word she
shot off to the quarter in 81 seconds
and to the half in 1.O11s, with York
Bov and Ferno fighting it out for
second place. The favorite came home
six lengths ahead. showing up in
2.06L. York Boy was a to choice
for the third heat and after All Right
had led to the half he went to the
front and the race was over though
F. II
and All Right finished heads apart.
The Brighton $4,000 purse for the 30
PAGERS had a big field, yet Twinkle sold
for $100 to $3.50 for the field. Don
Derby started out in the most sensa
tional style and led the field to the half
in 1.01A and came home in 2.06 with
Terrace Queen three lengths back. He
was now the choice at 2 to 1 and led
again to the half in 1.011a with Joe
Pointer and Twinkle Tapped. The trio
had the race between them, but at the
distance Twinkle shot to the front and
won by an open length.
1t was now 100 to so on Twinkle, yet
it was close call and she only won
the next heat by a neck from You Bet
with Joe Pointer close up. In the de-
Gliding heat Twinkle had it all her own
way.
The talent laid 10 to % on Prince
Alert against Anaconda, and though
the spectacle was pretty, the race was
hardly ever in doubt, as the favorite
led all the way in each heat.
For the special it was announced
that Dan Patch would go against his
own record of zoos and Star Pointers
record of 1.59A. He was accompanied
by two runners and placed a splendidy |
rated mile. He went to the quarter in |
30A and to the half in 1.00A. The three
quarters was passed in 1.31 and he
came home without pressure in 2.00ai, |
equalling his record. :. J

money for the first heat and he had an
easy time beating a poor field in 2.11ta. |
