John Taylor's victory over Wainscott in the fourth heat. after an accident in the third heat, in which Taylor collided with two horses, then kicked loose from the sulky and ran three quarters of a mile, was the surprise of the afternoon and one of the most exciting heats In the history of the stake. There was only the two horses in the fourth heat, the rules of the stake providing that only heat winners shall start after the third heat Seven thousand persons were pres- eht at the track.
 Wainscott led all the way in the third heat in which the collision occurred. The horses were just turning off the back stretch when John Taylor and Hieboy collided. Rabizola was close be- hind and ran into the other two. Tay- lor's sulky was wrecked and the horse kicked it off and ran the rest of the mile alone. Robzoa and Hieboy were caught immediately None of the driv- CTS or horses were injured to any ex- tent. After the accident every one sup posed that the fourth heat would be a mere formality. with Wainscott winning easily. Instead, John Taylor challenged faIIf fl <l ing the lead at the first turn. maintained 1t to the finish, where he was greeted with tremendous cheers. Summary
