THE TRACK RECORD
REMAINS UNBROKEN
With the Exception Of Wednesday the
Races Were Little Short Of Medi-
ocre-Small Fields Were the
General Rule.

Lovers of strenuous harness racing
| found little TO excite them in Tuesday
track events. Each of the three classes
was won in straight heats and the fin.
ishes with one or two exceptions were
not the kind to cause thrills and heart
throbs. Only three horses came to the
wire in the pa pace and OF the trio To-
bin was so much the best that his victory
was discounted from the start. The first
two heats were so tame that the starter
felt called upon TO remind the drivers
what the fair association had hung up
500 for. The result of his reminder, how
ever, made no difference as far as com
petition was concerned, for the driver OF
Tobin simply let the animal out little
more on the stretch and brought the time
down to 2.l5a. winning by yards from
OFlanagan with Sir Alcanda poor
third.
There were only four starters in the
2 stake pace which went to Oradell in
one. two, three order. In the first heat
Floradora came up strong on the finish
and finished 4 good second but the effort
used her up for the rest of the day and
"Chck" could land nothing bigger than
fourth money Rex took his turn at
pressing Oradell in the second heat, max
ing things exciting for a few moments
near the wire In the third the Williams
town gelding won easily, Ned Cole beat
ing Rex for second place and money.
Seven steppers took the word in the
. 81 pace.230 trot Theodore X, South
Vernon horse, led to the half in the first
heat but his bolt was shot, three horses
passing him in the next lap: Hartford
Girl won easily with Billy Mack second
and Royal Trust third. The second heat
of this race furnished the best sport of
ha at cd n
the outset and seven scores were neces-
sary before the field got away to the sat,
of the Judges stand. Hartford
Girl managed to land it, but she was only
a lip ahead of Billy Mack and had Royal
Trust kept his feet under the wire he
might have been second. Theodore X.
and Pandoras were distanced, the latter
refusing to strike his gait and finishing
more than quarter of mile to the. bad
The third heat was repetition of the |
second with the exciting features left out,
Hartford Girl winning easily The sum
