Caspian and oIivewood Win,

NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Excellent
sport marked the closing day of the
Empire City grand circuit meeting. The
2:1S trot brought a field of eleven to
the wire, with Caspian, the choice, at 6
to 3. In a most exciting finish he won
from HE Boy by a neck, with Dillon
Boy d good third. The ~favorite had an
easier time in the second heat, winning
by a length. Strathlane was a hot
choice for the first pace, selling at 100
to As for the field. He won the first
heat in good style, but vas defeated by
Olivewood easily in slower time in the
next heat. The judges decided to
change drivers and put up John Curry
behind Strathlane. The result was a
superb finish, as the two heat winners
fought the battle all down the stretch,
and as they shot under the wire it
looked like a dead heat. The judges
caught Olivewood's nose in front, ana
the verdict was popular. Curry was
also applauded for his great drive.
