$1,000 at Providence.

Stake in Three Straight.
Gov. BatcheIdor and Staff Witnesses
Races at Concord, N. n.

Providence, r. l., Sept. "A record
breaking crowd of $4,000 people, at
tracted by the supreme contest of the
Grand Circuit meeting here-the $10.-
600 stake for I'll class pacersAgather-
ed, today, at Narragansett Park and
saw Star Hal, brown horse, owned
by w. L. Snow of Hornellsville N. Y.
capture the race and the purse in three
straight heats. Seven horses faced the
starter, King Direct being the favorite
with Elastic Pointer second choice.
Before the horses had reached the first
quarter, Star Hal took the pole and led
a procession to the head of the stretch
where he was over-haued by Miss
Willamont and King Direct, the latter
driven by Geers. The finish saw the
three horses so nearly abreast that the
judges decision was necessary to con-
vince the crowd that Star Hal was the
winner. King Direct fought for SUI
premacy through the entire second
heat but he was obliged to take second
place to Star Hal, who won by a mar
row margin in 2.o6A, the fastest time
made during the day.
The card of the day consisted of four
races and the unfinished 219 trot of
Tuesday in which Navidad and Cole
Direct each had two heats to their
credit. Navidad took the deciding heat
and the race in mastery fashion.
Caspion, the favorite in the 225 trot.
captured the first two heats without
difficulty, and the third, after strug-
gle with Texas who forced him to cover
the mile in 2,11A
The 2.1O trot with 10 starters and the
2.13 pace with II, furnished the sur
prises of the day, outsiders, winning
both. In the latter race, Frank VIII
son, the favorite was drawn after he
had gone two poor miles, because of
illness. Johnny Wiseman, a Wilkes
horse owned in Concord, N. H., after
coming sixth in the first heat, took the
next two and the race in driving fin
ishes with Rockport and Knox's Gel
atine Lad. The summary:
