PACED IN YESTERDAYS RACES.
Dan r., Hawthorne, Rhythmic and
mo and Hagerstown Results.

COLUMBUS. O., July SO.-Eighteen hard
fought heats were decided on the second
day of the Columbus Grand Circuit meet
ing, and the racing was the most sensa-
tional ever witnessed at the local track.
The 200 PAGERS made a worlds record for
a six-heat race. the average time for the
six miles being 2:O614. Three heats
of this race were paced on Monday, and
when the event was taken up to-day Fred
S. Wedgewood had two heats TO his credit
and Captain SphynX one. Wedgewood was
an even-money favorite over the field, but
he did not have his usual speed. and Dan
r. took three straight heats and the race
The race was the first on the card, and
the track was still heavy on the inside
owing to the hard rains of yesterday. The
horses were compelled TO go long miles.
and under the circumstances Dan RS first
| heat in 2:06A was equal to a mile in 2:OS
or better. He paced the last quarter of the
sixth heat in 80 1-2
The PIP trot went through seven heats,
each of which was bitterly fought. Leola
was the favorite at $50 10 $50 for the field
OF seven. She trotted an easy mile in the
! first heat, which was won by Border In
slow time. The next two went to Leola,
which trotted the third in 2:1OA reducing
her record a full second. The fast mile
was too much for her, and she could not
get up again. Dan L, always a CONTENDER
after the first heat won the fourth. Then
Hudson uncovered the roam four-year-old
mare Hawthorne, who had laid up the
first three heats, and won the next three
and the race, taking record OF 2:l2A. Lee
ola made a bid for first money in the final
heat. but was outtrotted by Hawthorne In
the stretch.
The blind stallion Rhythmic winner of the
NJ. q NJ. stake. outclassed his field in the
5000 stake for 2:32 trotters, and won as he
pleased. The General, from the Ketcham

went to Pearl Lester, after j. c. I. had
taken the first neat Junius, the eVen-money

heat, when he failed to catch the Lester

The 2:19 trot was postponed until to-mor-

Dan r., the little sorrel gelding, owned
| by M. u. Rudy, OF Yorktown, Ind, must
have amazed the talent by his work in du-
plicating the defeat of Fred S. Wedge
wood. which he accomplished in eight heats
| at Cleveland last week Dan r. has been
| a sensation ever since he started racing
| early last year, and he has shown that he
| has a capability for long, hard fights. OF
| course, in this case he had rest of forty
| eight hours, but no more than his field.
