begun, and Jim Kyle, the eventual
winner, after following The Colonel
all the way around pulled out on the
stretch and won by length. In the
second heat Kyle acted badly and was
passed by the entire bunch in the
third quarter Carrie j. had a hot
fight with Henry n. but managed to
nose under the wire ahead The Kyle
horse was never headed in the third
heat although Carrie j. made game
attempt to do the trick when near the
finish. The veteran Lavelard, thought
by many to be entirely out of his
class finished a good third. The fourth
and final heat was real horse race
from wire to wire. Carrie j. followed
Jim Kyle closely until the stretch
where she was beaten out by the Col
onel. the latter making a game at
tempt to take the heat.
Four straight gated ones appeared
in the 2:20 trot. Little Jack nearly
lost the first heat to Indian Jim after
passing the North Adams horse at the
beginning of the stretch. 1t was a
blanket finish and pleased the grand
stand immensely. Little Jack also fin
ished first in the second heat with In
dian Jim second but the latter was
placed fourth on account of alleged in
reference by Driver WEIGH. Those
who expected straight heats were
fooled when in the third Dorena came
in winner with Indian Jim second,
Little Jack broke several times in the
first half and was a poor third. He
righted matters in the fourth however,
when in a grand squirt he passed Do
rena and took first money with COM
parative ease.
If Mr.. Chickering had not been un-
willing in the first place to mark his
horse Jumps, the 2:29 class would
have been settled quickly. AS it was,
five heats were necessary. The first
went to Canterbury Girl, the mare ap-
pearing to beat Lumps with ease. In
the second heat Regal Lassie reached
the wire first, passing Lumps and
Canterbury Girl on the stretch,
This savored of holding in the judges
minds and in the third heat Driver
Brussie was in Lumps's sulky in place
of the owner. The change was highly
beneficial The Westmoreland gelding
showed his heels TO the others all
the way and finished in 2:27A with
out moving a hair. In the fourth heat
Mr.. Chickering asked to be allowed
to drive Lumps again, saying that
now that he had won one heat and
been marked he intended to take first
money. And he did so easily the
fourth heat going to him in a walk
and the fifth nearly as easily, although
Canterbury Girl was scrappy in the
last 100 yards.
A feature of the afternoon program
was an exhibition half mile by two
year-old Electmont colt in 1:10A.
This promising youngster is the pro-
perty of NJ. Z. Wilcox of Westfie4d,
Mass.
