THE GRAND CIRCUIT
Opens at Columbus With Fine
Field of Horses.
Directum Sier Wins 2.3O Trot-- Miss
Leach the 2.l8 Pace.
Rain Stops zoe Pace-Fred S. Wedge
wood Favorite.

Columbus. Ohio, July 2S-The Grand
Circuit meeting opened here, today,
with all the conditions favorable for
a successful week of trotting and
pacing. The weather was warm and
delightful until hard storm blew up
and drenched the track so thoroughly
that the 2.09 pace, in which three heats
had been driven, had to be postponed
until tomorrow. Before the storm the
track was lightning fast and every
heat winner lowered his mark.
Directum Spier. Henry Schmulbach's
4-year-old stallion, was picked to win
the go trot, selling in the auctions
at SIS to SIC for the field of three.
The field price was reduced to 81 after
the first heat and many of the pools
were sold at that figure. The son of
Directum justified the confidence of
his hackers by leading from wire to
wire in both heats, reducing his record
from 2,15h, made in his first start at
Cleveland, last week, to 2.11A. Oar
win drove him out in each heat, but
was always a length behind at the
finish.
The 2.09 pace, the feature of the
opening day, was postponed after Fred
s. Wedgewood had taken the first two
heats and Captain Sphinx the third.
Dan r. and Daphne Dallas sold equal
favorites before the race, each bring
ing $50. in a pool of $125. Dan r.
could not catch Wedgewood in the first
heat and Daphne Dallas was unable
to land the second or third, for both
of which she was driven hard. The
postponement of the race will prob
ably make Wcdgewood the favorite,
ne was a beaten horse after
the third heat, today. Prince Direc-
was drawn after the third heat anc
will not start, tomorrow.
The 2.1S pace was a gift to Miss
Leac, the favorite at $40 to $25 for a
field of three. The summary:
