decidedly exciting at the Empire track,
| Wednesday.
In the grand special between Lord
Derby. 2.05S4, and The Monk, with the
same record. the former was the choice
at 1G0 to so. The Monk had the pole
and G. X. G.. Billings lost no time in
sending him to the front. He led by
! two lengths up to the top of the stretch,
when Smathers sent Lord Derby for
one of those electric finishes for which
he has become famous. He was just
little too late, however, and though
The Monk was firing he just made to
win by nose
The Monk again led to within so yards
of the wire, when Lord Derby in a SUI
perb drive, won by a neck. In the
third the pair got perfect start, going
like a team to the back stretch, where
The Monk broke and Lord Derby came
on and won by five lengths.
This is the fastest race of three heats
to wagon ever trotted. the time in the
second and third heats being 206, and
the first heat 2.061a.
In the zoo pace Don Riley was fav-
orite. Lou Vaughn had the pole, but
soon lost it to Albert, who led all the
way to the wire. Albert was the ia
vorite in the second and led to the half,
with TIffie Powers on his wheel and
Don Riley Tapped. In the stretch Don
Riley came with a grand burst of
speed and won by half a length, Home
Circle getting the place by a head from
Effie Powers. In the third heat it was
two to one on Don Riley. Efiie Pow
aY- lad tn tho Distance INhap tbe fayOr-
lite in most exciting finish won on
the wire by a neck.
There was a big surprise in the PIG
trot for which Prince Selma was the
favorite. Invader had the pole and led
off with such spirit that he was never
headed. Prince Selma was a good sec
ond to the three-quarters pole when he
broke and fell back to last. Invader
was now the choice and won by half
length in a most exciting finish from
Prince Selma. Scott Hudson then re-
quested the judges to allow Geers to
drive Prince Selma. The change did
no good, as the horse broke in the back
stretch and ran all the way home.
For the 2.19 pace Miss Wilamont was
hot favorite and won in straight
heats with quite little in hand. The
