Cincinnati O., September 2S.-The Grand Circuit meeting opened at Oakley Park this afternoon under favorable auspices. The weather was superb and the track moderately fast. The Attendance num- bered about 5000. The sport was opened with the Horse Reviews purse of $5,000 for three-year-old trotters. The choice was Dr. J. McCoy's Ethel's Pride, and she won in straight heats. The pooling shifted from 20 to ' for the field to 25 to II. as Ethel seemed "skmpy." but af- ter the first heat the betting was 25 to s in her favor. The 2.11 trot was much of a surprise. The choice was naturally the Michigan gelding, Mckinley, which at Columbus trotted the three fastest heats of the year. He sold for s25 against $1o for the field. The first heat he went away on the outside and trotted around his field in a manner which presaged a vic- tory, until the stretch was reached. The trip had pumped him out and he went into the air, Dr. Strong winning easily. In the second heat, pr. Strong led all the way, being forced out by Mary D and Ihdl HilAtS III AsV112g d nGW ICCOIQ U for him.
 The Queen City purse of $2, 000 for trot- ters of the 2.17 class went to the favorite. J. McGregor, in straight heats. The Georgia horse, Directum Miller, was the choice of the 2.25 pace, and won in straight heats.
 Dan Patch was out for work during the afternoon, and did a mile in 2.O6. Summary:
