WORK or THE DGES.
Tame and Easy In the Morning.. but In.
tricate and Interesting Later.

The morning session opened an hour
later than usual ard with an exhibit that
was not calculated 10 evoke any enthusiasm.
1t was Class 10. open TO all trotting stations
having a record OF 22O or better There
was but one entry the bay horse The
Charmer. 2:l5I., Is 8 hands, bred by Robert
Steele Of Philadelphia ard shown by Wood
Lane Farm His sire. Epaulet, 2ls. was
good racehorse, but he has been only
fairly successful AS a producer of speed
The Charmer made a very ordinary ap-
pearance in the ring ana did not fairly
represent the highest type of the trotter
Glass for the cha mpioIship in the trot-
ting stallion classes was tame affair, as
compared with the grand exhibits that
appeared on Thursday in the hackney
champion class. Only two previous vim
ners appeared. and neither made an i'm
pressive appearance in the ring. Astral,
brother to the noted sire, BOreal. 2ls1
! was a winner in Class "a on Thursday, and
| his only competitor In Class was Hail
| fellow. the winner In Class on WedJ csday
Austral is a well-fsshioned brown horse
Of more than average finish but he Its not
a horse Of commanding presence. He
showed only fair amount Of speed and
was far from good-mannsred. or else he
was entirely lacking in the necessary edu-
cation, for he bolted at the gate and per-
sisted in cutting his corners, sometimes TO
the danger OF the attendants in the ring
| Hailfellow, the only competitor. was a
plain bay horse, 10 hands, by Prodigal,
2l8, and ne had only speed to recommend
him. His stride was too long for the small
ring, and he could not show 10 advantage
Austral received the championship badge
and Hailfellow the reserve.
