NEW MARK FOR THE MONK.
Geers Drives Him in 2.O5sz at the
Readvi1le Track.

Readville Mass, Aug. 22.-The one
great surprise at the Readville track to-
day was the appearance of Lord Derby
in the 2:07 trot. The surprise was not
carried out to the extent OF his winning
the race, for Ed. Geers drove The Monk
under the wire ahead of him in two
straight heats and in the first heat, es-
tablishing new record for himself of
2:o5 S-4 and a new race record for the
track. Although $500 was offered in this
trot, only four horses were entered. Ed.
Geers sent The Monk away first with the
bunch behind. Down to the quarter they
went with Lord Derby dropping back at
every stride until he was last. The half
was passed and Lord Derby began to
show speed. At the three quarters he
tried TO overhaul The Monk. but it was
too late.
= In the second Lord --erby made no mis-
take in laying back too far at the start,
for he followed The Monk like a shadow
to the three-quarters Then began a
drive by both Geers and Speer but to
no avail, as they went under the wire
with The Monk safely m the lead.
The 2:16 trot had twelve starters and
five heats were needed to find a winner.
216 trot: purse. $1,000.
