NEW ENGLAND FIELD
DAY AT BUFFALO

New England stood out pre-eminently
where the outlaw grand circuit meeting IL
now going on, Nut Boy. a Boston owned
trotter. won the 216 stake, going a record
OF 2:o9A, Gay Blngen, bred in Massachu-
setts. captured the 3-year-old trot. The
Vermont pacing queen, Ecstatic, marched
into the exclusive 2:o5 list winning the
fast pace, and Brenda York, a grand
daughter OF New England's great sire,
Baron Wilkes, shut out her field In the s.
year, old pace.
The meeting here Is no longer a part
OF the grand circuit chain. as Albert
Moone, secretary OF the circuit. informed
the management yesterday that the stew
ards had expelled Buffalo from the cor
poration
Horsemen regard the action OF the stew
ards as a Joke. as one OF the stewards Is
racing his horses here, and two OF the
others are connected with-Aead tracks
Buffalo's sin consists OF not permitting
the circuits starter. Newton, TO officiate
at the meeting.
Fast time was made despite the fact
that the track was not at it's best on ac-
count OF yesterdays heavy rain. The foot
ing was very firing and will help leg the
horses UP.
Gay Bingen was given a thorough try
ing out. and there is no doubt as to his
being a real race horse. Ed. Custer the
big. mature-looking son OF Baronmore
got to his side in the third heat, forcing
Brady TO use the whip.
With ears and lips set. he raced the
western youngster into submission, fin
ishing with his legs under him. The race
was severe test for the New England
bred trotter, for never before has he been
asked TO beat 2:2O three times in one
day, and besides this he was sent off on
run the first heat and had 20 step the
last three-quarters In 1:S7I2. 2:10 clip, to
win.
John Crabtree's Nut Boy simply toyed
with the rest of the 2:16 trotters. and his
victory came with 50 little cost that he
will start In the $4,000 stake tomorrow.
Nut Boys mile In 2:09A gives the Boston
turfman his second 2.i0 trotter of the
week. as Roberta took the same record
on Monday.
DR.. Chase. the favorite. went a very dis
appointing race and looks to be well sold
at $500. the price for which he became
the property OF one OF Tommy Murphys
patrons yesterday.
The Bingen stallion. Captain Bacon.
was close second to Nut Boy in 2:lo.
and Is by far the best green trotter in
sight. Several men are trying to buy him,
as he is well-staked and acts like a trot-
ter OF quality as well as speed
Frank Lang surprised everyone when
he marched Eostatic to the front early in
the first heat of the fast pace. and kept
her there. Jogging home in Posi-. Baron
Grattans admirers still had faith in his
ability to win, but Geers' ree-for-allor
is the unlucSiest horse on the turf for
he is always getting up against some
thing frtghtfully hard.
Geers went after the Vermont mare GO
ing away the second heat and carried
her down to the three-quarters in l:3a.
The mare just played with him going at
this clip, and. as Geers said. she Jog
ged'' the third quarter in 30 seconds.
The mile was in 204l. a cut OF a full
second In the winners record
In the third heat she went away of her
gait and soon went TO a break. while
Baron Grattan was off a-1ying. with
first money safe, Lang did not hurry his
mare and wisely gave her an easy mile.
Ecstatic Is owned by Roaring Brooks
stables, Barton, VT, and Is a half-sister
to John Shepard's Transylvanla winner.
Ethers Pride.
Vance Nuckols made sure OF the entjra
purse in the three-year-old pace by dis
tancing Brenda York's competitors in the
first heat.
