SoN0MA GIRL WITHDRAWN
Highball Takes Roger Williams Stake at Narragan-
 sett Park.

Providence, R. T., Aug. 2S.-The third days racing at Narragansett Park brought at least one interesting event, the third race, 2:O4 class for pacers, required four heats, as all the starters were pretty well matched. The event of the day, the Roger Williams stake of $5,0OO for 2:12 trotters, brought out a larger crowd than either of the first two days, about 1000 being present. In this race Highball and sonoma Girl of the latter was great disappoint- ment to the spectators. Just before the race it was announced that the Girl was in no condition to do any racing As was then expected High ball ran away from the field, getting both heats with very little trouble, though Geers' gelding travelled very lame. The feature of this race was the first for second money between Athasham, Wilkes Heart and Berico each of whom succeeded in nosing out the place badly wanted by the others
 The first race, 2:2O pace, with eight starters, was won by Laura Bellini in straight heats handily. Both heats were hotly contested by the mare and Moy. Laura winning by narrow mar gins. The third race, 2:04 class for pscers, was a puzzle. Ardelle Argot Boy and Kruger all looked like first money Four heats were necessary to decide this event. Ardelle led all the . way in the first heat with Kruger and Argot Boy fighting 1t out neck and neck for second place. On the stretch Kruger drew away, and finished about two lengths ahead of the Boy and about length behind Ardelle In the second heat, Ardelle and Argot Boy travelled neck and neck with Kruger and Kip two lengths behind. IA phe- nomenal burst of speed put the geld ing and Little Brown on an equal foot ing with the leaders when about one hundred feet from the wire. Another length would have seen Kip capture first place, but Kruger took the heat with Kip second, and Argot Boy third. Geers and Ardelle finished a fair fourth. In this heat Argot Boy wore hopples and showed better form.
 In the next heat Kruger took the lead, but broke at the three-quarter mark, giving way to Argot Boy, who finished first. Geers, who had been keeping Ardelle in the rear of the field, spurted on the stretch, but was too far behind to catch up to the leader, but succeeded in getting sec ond place. At this point the brown mare seemed to go lame-a fact which was more noticeable in the final heat. The heat winners only started in this heat Argot Boy at once took the lead and was never headed, though Kruger put up a game fight, racing neck and neck with the Boy to the last quarter. The starters finished in a procession, Argot Boy first two lengths ahead of Kruger, who in turn was two lengths ahead of Ardelle.
 The last race on the card went to Thornfield, the conceded favorite, aft CT game fight in which Zaza and Wild Bell figured, In both heats Thornf1eld was headed first by Wild Bell, then by zaza, but was not to be denied, finishing first after driving around the rest of the bunch. Sum mary:
