 The way the trotters and pacers turn ed out at Middletown avenue and came down to the trotting sign at Bailey street on the Clinton avenue speedway yesterday afternoon on even terms gave pleasure to each and every driver. All seemed anxious to get an even start and the manner they came down the speedway together was an interesting spectacle for the hundreds of spectat- ors that lined the sidewalks. The f1n- ishes were close, so much so that many of the lookerson and even the drivers ot the leading horses did not know which horse finished ahead. Walter Clarks fayorite horse, Domino, showed up m fine form, hitched to a two wheeled cart. Duskamont was also fitched to two-wheeled cart. The crowd and the other drivers who drove horses in four wheeled wagons tried to have Duskamont and Domino come down the track together, but thsy did not do SO but were anxious to mix in the with the driving of the heavier four wheeled wagons and finish in the lead, because the other horses were heavily handicap ped by the weight they were drawing Mr. Ferguson and George Cripps came down in a close brush, the former driv- ing the celebrated New York speedway horse, Daniel which beat out the Cripps horse by a length. Then Daniel and B. s. Bradley's Blue Light came along together, and the latter was beaten by a length. Dr. Daden with his new horse and Elizur E. Riggs driving Clifford Hubbard's horse, and two other horses good steppers-tried conclusions. MT Riggs finished about a length in ad- vance. Blue Light had three close heats with George Pfaff's Barmenot It was a beautiful sight to see these horses coming down the stretch. Spec tators could not tell which horse led, they trotted so evenly. Blue Light fin ished ahead in the first two heats. In the third heat George Pfaff, jr., rode his fine saddle pony in the lead as pace- maker for Barmenot, and the finish was so close that MT, Bradley and MT. Pfaff had to call it a dead heat, and that was the opinion of the spectators. There were several other good races, but the names could not be obtained. There were also good horses from Walling- fond and Brandford, which showed up with the best of them.
