BUSY DAY FOR JUDGES.
Yesterday was busy day for the
judges. They listened TO how it hap

ward, when Drivers Reaves of Macon,
Ca, and Patterson of Cleveland got in
a mix-up in the fifth heat of the 2:1S
trot and were using whips on each
others horses and their own faces and
backs. The incident which happened
at the three-Quarters pole, was in fact
about the most interesting item of the
days going Besides this duel of whips,
which fell under the judges hands.
they also removed Driver Hall from
further driving of Get There Eli, a Co.
lumbus horse, owned by Eli Merrick,
who finished second in the two first
heats of the pacing race, and who had
given apparent signs of being able to
beat out Lemonade, the winner. Hall
is brother of J. A. Hall, driver of the
Welty entries. On his removal Fred
Burns, who has been training a string
at the fair ground all spring, was put
in Halls place. Sam Jones proved too
strong for Eli in the succeeding heats,
however.
