HAD TO TRAVEL
TO WIN OUT
So Fast We're the Leaders
Pushed Yesterday
2.l7 IA WAS REACHED
This Happened in the 2;27 Glass, With
Phoso Patehen the Mare to Make
Fastest Time Of Day--Great
Racing Expected Today.

The opening Of the second two days
racing meet at Granite City trotting
park under the auspices Of the Gentle
mems Driving club was held yesterday
afternon, and the meet bids fair to be
fully as successful as the one which was
held earlier in the season. There were
not 50 many people present yesterday as
at the first meet, but this was not to-
be expected and the management was
highly gratiied at the attendance. IT
is expected that crowd which will tax
the capacity Of the grand stand will be
present today.
Three races were pulled off yesterday,
all Of them were Of the best that can
be turned out ON any track, and held the
breathless interest Of the spectators from
start to finish.
The three minute class was the first
one started and was one of the most
remarkable races for the class ever seen
on the local course, the winning horse
making one mile In 2:24h There were
six starters. The Outlaw seemed to be
the favorite from the start and he
showed that the confidence was not mis-
placed by winning the race in three
straight; the only race which was won
in less than four heats during the day.
Red BriHo won second, Argot Lad third
and Belltime fourth.
A Spill in Three-M Minute Race.
Considerable, excitement was created
in the third and final heat of the race,
when Prince Archer and Red Brino came
together just as they turned into the
back stretch, throwing both drivers to
the ground. Fred Slayton, who was
driyinfi Red Brino, regained his seat and
finished the heat, being placed in fifth
position. Prince Archer's driver was not
SO lucky and was unable to catch bis
horse, but the horse seemed TO know ia
business and after running for few rods
resumed an even pace and finished the
race without a driver and with hardly
break.
Best Race of the Day.
The 2;27 class was the next race
called, and this proved TO be the most
interesting and fastest race Of the day,
going five heats before it was won By
the favorite, Phoso Patchen. There were
eight starters in this race
In the first heat Alexander Maid had
the pole, but broke almost at the start,
allowing Green Mountain Boy to pass
her and get the pole, enabling him to
win the heat but not without being
obliged TO clip full six seconds from his
previous record, as he made the mile
in 2;20A Phoso Patchen finished third
in this heat and was outside the money
in the second, owing to the fact that
she broke on the curves.
The winners of the first heat finished
in the same order In the next and It
looked easy for the Mountain Boy, but
the affair assumed different aspect in
the third. The third heat was the best
seen during the day and was a horse
race from the word. Green Mountain
Boy started off with his usual vigor, but
this time Phoso Pstchen did not break
and went like clock work from the start
to the wire, drawing by the Boy on the
back stretch with steadiness and preci.
sion which was good to see. This was
the fastest heat of the day, Patchen do
ing the mile in 2:17h.
patehen broke at the beginning of the
| fourth heat, but quickly resumed her
stride and finished first again. doubling
the oval in 2;1sK. The fifth and de.
Gliding heat was finished in the same or
der, with Phoso Patchen ahead and Green
Mountain Boy a good second. The mon.

when Com was successful in out racing
him in the first heat, but their shock

three, taking them in order, as Is his
custom. The money in this class was
awarded in the following orders Ned
Cole lst, Com I'd, Henry c. Sd, Rex 4th.
