POOL SELLING BRISK.
After the first heat of the race had
been run pools we're selling at great
rate, 1t being generally considered that
the race would develop into something
sensational before it was over The
bunch got started practically the same
as in the first heat, Legal Hal again
taking the lead at the quarter pole.
At the half mile wire Sandy. Hal took
the lead, with Legal Hal second and
the winner of the first heat in third
position. Uncle Jim was once more
in last place. At this point Legal
Hal broke and was ieft behind. The
horses were well punched at the three
quarter pole. It looked as though
Sandy Hal had captured the second
heat, but Geo. r. Peck had great fin
ishing qualities and nosed the favorite
out by neck. Uncle Jim beat Gen
eral Gentry out, while Legal Hal
barely got inside the distance flag.
Geo. r. Peck was an easy winner
in the third heat, again beating out
Sandy Hal on the homestretch. Uncle
Jim and General Gentry finished in
the same positions as in the second heat

EASY FOR COL OSBORNE.
There was nothing to the 2:21 trot
but Col. Osborne, Vance Nuckols'
Grand Circuit horse The bunch got
started in good shape in the first heat.
Col. Osborne and Mabel R. Wilkes
soon took the lead, while Wood Girl,
owned by John c. Welty, of Canton,
dropped to the rear. At the half mile
the runners were well punched, Col.
Osborne running along easily in the
lead. Seemingly without exerting
himself the Cleveland horse kept his
position throughout. Just as the half
mile post was reached, squarely in
front Of the grand stand, ALA Actell,
driven by II. B. Kaercher, of Youngs-
town, broke and swerved into Yed B.,
driven by j. c. Burns, of Steuben-
vile The wheels of the two bikes
caught and Burns was overturned,
throwing him out. Actell kept on
without injury, while Ted B. galloped
around the track without a driver.
Col. Osborne won with ease, being
several lengths ahead of Mabel II.
Wilkes and Wood Girl, who had been
fighting it out for second place from
the three quarter pole. Ted B. kept
galloping on, going around the track
again before he was stopped 1t was
announced that on account of the un-
avoidable accident the judges would
waive the distancing of Ted B. and
allow both he and ALA Actell to start
in the second heat. Later Owner
Burns asked that his horse be drawn
as he was unable to obtain a bike and
mile and one-half' run.
The second heat of the closing event
was a pretty race. Col Osborne led
throughout with Mabel r.. Wilkes and
Wood Girl fighting it out for second
place. The favorite logged along cas-
lily never seeming to exert himself to
keep his position. At the half mile
wire Wood Girl broke but held her
position. Wood Girl and Mabel r.
Wilkes crawled up on Col. Osborne
near the homestretch, but the Cleve-
land horse won by a length, while
Wood Girl beat Mabel Wilkes out for
second place, the latter two having a
hard race down the last quarter

pass the favorite no matter how hard
she tried. Wood Girl broke twice dur
ing the heat but retained her position.
After the second break she put on
speed and left Mabel Wilkes behind.
