The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1904-09-01

Hy far the largest crowd seen at any
event OF the Grand Circuit this year from
Detroit down to this city attended the
races yesterday and saw records go by
the board. II was day for sensational
racing, and several features caused tho
immense crowd to go wild at times with
the excitement occasioned.
The trotting race record OF the year
was lowered to 2osA; the race record
for two, three and for four heats for this
season lowered and. TO cap the climax.
the worlds record for four-heat race by
trotters was smashed into kindling wood.
II was a wonderful race. The EastView
farm mare Consuela 8. was the favorite.
De Ryder, as usual. was attending to
his knitting in the scoring FOR the nrst
heat of the race. Consuela s. was rank
and spoiled a number OF scores by coming
down on a break. When they got the
word Consuela S. was on her stride and
had none OF then worst of II. The
Directum mare went~away In the lead.
but Tivarton was also stepping fast ana
was Tapped I'm the mare when they went
around the first. IL was a pretty contest
between these two up the backstretch.
At the half Tiverton's nose showed IN
front OF the mares, and at the five-fur-
long post he passed her and took the pole.
Rounding the upper turn he was an open
length in front OF the marc. When they
rot into the stretch the mare drew up on
even terms with the gelding, but the
strain was too much for her and she went
10 a break but came on again and made
Tiyerton step In 2:07, new race record
for, the year.
The gelding finished good and strong In
this heat, and when he stepped the second
heat I'm 2:07il again showed his superiority
over the mare.
Before the third heat the Judges put
Alta Mcdonald up behind Sweet Marie.
with the result that she went on and won
the next three heats and the race. This
man Smith has the trotting find OF the
year and after yesterdays performance,
the horsemen are wondering where there
Is a trotter. outside OF Lou Dillon and
Major Delmar. that classes with her.
To many II seems strange that any man
who admits that he is as poor a teamster
rs Mr.. Smith showed himself TO be at
Readville. and IN the Roger Williams
stake yesterday afternoon should not
have secured McDonald's services even
II he had TO split the purse with him
This Is wherein lies the mystery In regard
10 Mr.. Smith and Sweet Marie.
In the third heat Mcdonald got the
word with the mare a half-length be-
hind the pole horse, but had no trouble
the selding at the turn. Billy Andrews
made a good try for the fourth heat with
Tiverton and the geding showed that
he is a good game race horse by making
the mare come back In 2:0sh.
= In the final heat old Consuela $. woke
up. DeRyder had her moving fast when
the word was given and both she and
Tiverton passed Sweet Marie at the turn.
The latter made a break on the back
ofr mn n
she is by out-trotting the Directum mare
through the stretch, winning the fastest
nvs-heat race ever trotted
The 2:14 pace developed into an old
fashioned three five split heat contest
and goes over with three horses credited
with two heats each. The Chamber OF
Commerce winner. Baron Grafton. was the
favorite. The Providence gelding. Don
Carr. was the one that was expected "a
make trouble for Geers' gelding Baron
Grafton had plenty of speed but was as
wild as hawk. and Don Carr did not
appear TO be as good a PAGER as he was
at Readville
Prince Alert started to break the record
for PAGERS. without wind shield or pace
maker in front, but the best he could dc
was mile In 2:00H. three-quarters OF
q second behind his Readville perform
ance. He tired badly In the last eighth
Of the mile.
Belle Star was the favorlte in the 2.la
pace. and had little trouble In boa atins
her field. After losing the first heat by
break, Tuna reeled or the 2:16 trot in
straight heats. The daughter Of James
- Madison outclassed her field and won In
moderate time.
