RACING
BIG RACES ON
 AT READVILLE
Biggest Attendance Ever Recorded on the Boston Track-Other
 Racing Events.

Boston, Aug 25.-With card of four races, including two futurity events, the Grand Circuit meeting opened at Readville yesterday after noon under the auspices of the New England Trotting Horse Breeders association The attendance was the biggest ever recorded at this famous track for an opening day, the fact being due to the presence of thou sands who are in the city to witness the $50,000 handicap race to-day.
 To a large number of prominent breeders who are here from all parts of the country the two divisions of the American Horse Breeders fu- turity were, of course, the feature events of the day. In the ? year old division five as good youngsters as ever faced a starter appeared for the word, and it was most gratifying to the New York city contingent to see colt bred and owned by New Yorker, D. Comyn Moran, win the race in a handy manner.
 The result of the race was inter- esting, too, from the fact that the sire of the youngster is owned by a New Yorker, w. E. D. Stokes, while four of the other starters were either sons or grandsons of Bingen, a stallion also owned by New Yorker, William Bradley.
 The winning Ally. Czarevna, was handled, in the opinion of horsemen and drivers, in a most masterly man. ner by Tom Nolan, who trailed along most of the distance and pulled on the outside down the stretch, win ming in easy style. The second mile, in 2:15 x lowered the stake record from 2:17. and the way Czarvena finished showed plainly that she is q coming champion in the youngster classes.
 There were only three starters in the year old pacing division of the same futurity, yet the race was of in terest from the fact that the winner, Master McKerron, was the first son of that famous stallion, John A. Me- Kerron, 2:04A, to win a race in d Grand Circuit meeting. This colt is owned by E. s. Burke, Jr, of Cleve- land, and showed extreme speed, ir- respective of the fact that he won in slow time for lack of form shown by his competitors. How fast Master McKerron really is will not be known until he gets into faster company.
 It was a great day for Alonzo Me- Donald, the we'll known trainer and driver, as he won three of the four races yesterday afternoon and cap tured $2,0S0 of the $S,400 worth of purses he contested for. With Leslie Waterman he won the '2:10 pace in straight heats, but he missed the last heat of the 2:21 trot with Ward, surely a promising trotter.
 AS usual the days racing was snap py, and each heat was finished in fast time considering the classes. Start CT A. H. Merrill did satisfactory work in a manner which assured patrons that they will not have to suffer be- cause of incompetent starting. The summaries: -.
