 Some fine racing was exhibited at the Elm City Driving park yesterday after noon bv the New Haven Driving club. The day was an excellent one and a large attendance was present The rac- ing began at PAS o'clock.
 Class A, trotting one mile heats, was not raced because Sally Mate, be- longing to pr. Morris Slattery,, and George R, belonging to pr. George Lawton were not in condition. George R had his leg caught in piece of rope last week while he was being driven in West Haven, and fell down badly hurt ing his leg. One of the principal feat ures of the afternoon was the mule half mile dash in which there were four starters. While the racing was not go- ing on Nichols City band played differ ent selections The playing was of fine quality and much to the peoples satis- faction.
 Class B, pacing one mile heats, was raced first. Red Sovereign, who was driven by H. L. Dickerman, won the first two heats easily and thus won the series. Kittie Lalah, who came in third in both heats broke in both heats and was third all the way round. The sum- maries:
 Red Sovereign (H. L. Dickermam 1 1 Prince Elect q. G. Richey). )........ 2 Kitty Lalah Clayton Redfeld).. 3 8

 Class c, pacing one-half mile heats, was next pulled off, and Patronia Prin- cess won. Royal Huntress and Ajax at the termination of the second heat were tied for second place and as it was only matinee race the judges used their own rules and both raced to pull off the tie. In this heat Waterhouse's s Royal Huntress broke at the start and lost a good deal of ground, but she gained continually all the way around on Moran's horse, and came in first. The summaries:

 Class D, trotting one-half mile heats, was mixed up affair, as Kit Nekon was scratched and Bonnie Rex, owned by D. c. Molloy was out of town. Bon- nie Belle was the only horse left in the class, but through the generosity of Dr.. William H. Grove, the race was fixed up.
