out. In the second heat the Canadian
raced to the front. with John NJ. close to
him. AT the head of the stretch. John
NJ. took the outside and commenced a
desperate drive for the heat The leader
at almost the same instant was pushed
ahead hard Slowly. the New York geld
ing crept up on his opponent until at the
100 yards distance pole. both were on even
terms. AT the wire. only the nose of
John NJ was in front. John NJ. won both
of the following heats by good lengths.
The first heat made new record for tha
event, lowering the one made by Direct
Hal In 1902 by one-quarter of a second.
Another record went down for the year
1894 in the 2W trot. OZanam lowered the
trotting race heat record of the season
from 2:07 81. previously held by Stanley
Dillon Consuela s. and George G.. t.
2:oi Ia. In the opening heat Mckinley
got the word on a break, Judge Green
leading to within 30 yards of the wire,
when Benyou brought Ozansm out from
INC puilCn at tremendous speed, captur-
ing the heat by Il neck with Caspian sec
ond. The second heat the Caspian won
| BY close margin but in the final heat
| Kenyon swung wide at the head of the
/ home stretch and came to the front 40
yards from home.
Stanley D!llin was an almost prohibi-
tive favorite in the 2;a5 trot, and won in
straight heats.
| In the pos pace Darius won the first
neat handily. Pauline G. made break
at the head OF the stretch and swerving
INTO the track caused Johnny Wiseman
