+ A big crowd witnessed the last days
sport of the grand circuit meeting at
Brighton Beach Saturday. The card did
not promise much, yet 1T provided an
exceedingly sensational race and new
worlds record, the amateur wagon race
record being broken twice first by c. E.
Gedford's York Boy, who went the dis
tance in 2:0SA and few minutes later
by E. E. Smather's Lord Derby, who made
the mile in 2:06A in his first heat and
2:O6N in the second heat against Louisa
Jefferson. '.''
In the 2:O7 trot the money fairly poured
in at 100 to Is on The Monk against the
field. In the first heat The Monk and
Amelia went Tapped all the way around
to the top Of the stretch, where the mare
broke and The Monk took a good lead.
Amelia settled and came very fast but
was beaten half length. Pools now sold
100 to Is on The Monk: The Monk led
with Amelia second and they got to the
quarter in 31A seconds, when Mingmon
wetn to second place. They got to the
half in 1:03A. The Monk came down the
stretch for all he was worth, but Amelia,
with an extra burst of speed, got almost
on even terms and was only defeated by
q neck. n>
The third heat was3 most exciting from
start to finish. The Monk and Chain
Shot went neck and neck up the back
stretch with Amelia Tapped. Around the
turn The Monk got in front and led to
the distance, where Amelia, In brilliant
dash, came up and beat him out by neck.
The mark was so to 80 on Amelia in the
next heat, but in the stretch Geers tried
| one of his old time drives. The Monk re-
sponded gamely, but went to a break and
the mare won.
The last heat was repetition Of the
| fourth heat, Amelia carrying off the
prize.
| The wagon racers mashed the amateur
race record twice, and Lord Derby, by
| trotting in 2:05A, set a champion mark
which will take lot of beating. The rec
ord had previously been beaten by York
Boy in 2:0SA.
Lord Derby and his owner were cheered
when they returned to the judges stand.
