New York, Aug. 15.--Perfect wealth. CT and a fast track again favored the grand circuit meeting at Brighton Beach to-day. The feature of the pro gramme was the John H. Shults $5,000 purse for trotting four-year-olds, for which the bay Ally Zephyr was the fa- | vorite. She won in straight heats. In | the first heat she went to the quarter | in :S1A, to the half in 1904 and came home as she pleased in 2:111s. The sec ond heat was repetition of the first, I but in the third the favoritee broke. Maxine took the lead, but Zephyr came again in the stretch and won by half a length. : | The 2:04 pace brought out high-class field and hopes were high that Audubon Boy would be able to force Dan Patch to go a fast mile, but the latter did not start. Audubon Boy was hot favor ite: With the word Shadow Chimes pushed to the front, Indiana was sec ond and the favorite close up. At the three-quarters pole Audubon Boy mov-s ed up and Shadow Chimes broke. Fan ny billiard then came fast from the rear. challenging the leader, and in close and exciting finish she was only beaten half length by the fayorite. In 1 the second heat the veteran Cennor rushed off with the lead and held 1t to | the three-ariarter pole, with Audubon Boy second and Fanny Dillard third. As they rounded for home the favorite and Dillard shot by Connor and were soon joined by Shadow Chimes, finish ing in that order.
 The 2:16 class, trotting, was on the novelty plan, the winners going to the barn after the first and second heats Walnut Hall was prohibitive favorite for the first heat. He broke badly at- ter passing the first turn and did it so well that he was fully ten lengths i'll front before he settled. He then trot- tted fair and square to the finish, Win- ming with Ivandorf second. The judges had a long consultation, but eventually gave Walnut Hall the heat Ivandorf was the choice for the second heat 3nd he won with lots to spare. In the last heat Debut was a prohibitive choice, but he failed to make good and the race was won by the black mare Be- may, a five-to-one snot, py three lengths.
 In the amateur race for pacers Hon. tas Crook won both heats easily from Frazier.
 In the trotting amateur race Little Helen had the pole and held 1t to the finish, though Joymaker made such a lightning rush that he was only beaten by a. short head. In the second heat Little Helen and Joymaker had it out from start to within hundred yards of the wire, when Joymaker went into the air and Imogene rushed in, and in a hot finish landed a winner by half length. In a driving finish Imogene won the third heat and the race. The summaries:
