A GREAT MEET.

the trotting of the 80 and free-f all
classes. The first one went five hard
fought heats, Jim S. taking the first
two and then Joe Hedge coming to the
front and taking the next three in sue

ing in this and excitement from start
to finish.
The free-for-all did not pan out SO
well as it was expected to, although
it was pretty race made in good time.
Parker S. COO took it in straight
heats. 1t was the intention to have
both Commodore Dewey and Rex
Wilkes start in this and if they had,
with the three that did start, it would
have made a handsome field. But the
former went lame. Friday, and could
not race and the latter was attacked by

be kept out

The track was fine for fast work and

record would doubtless have been put

The first class started was the $50,
and eight horses came to the wire for
the word, there being good ones in the
bunch all right. Isle Dew was in this
class. and his work was watched with
great interest on account of his close
resemblance to the old horse, Nelson,
