THE HORSES
THE SCHEME WAS
 A BAD FAILURE
An Amateurisb Trick That Could Have Brought no Better
 Results.

and executed apparently in an anna teurish manner fell to the ground yes terday at the Grand Circuit meeting before 1t was really matched. On her showing last week Easter Lily sold favorite in the 2:15 pace at $50, the field about $40, and won the opening heat eased up in 2:07A.
 For the second heat rush was made on the pool box at two minute clip, the mare selling at $25 to the fields $40, showing that the men who put up the job were not only anna teurs, but mighty hungry for good feast.
 Driver Shell was called to the stand and cautioned after the first heat, but he finished the second heat absolutely in last position, two sec onds slower than the first heat. When he was called to the stand again a howl went up, the crowd asking the judges to fine him or take him out, while many yelled Put him of the turf" and tExpel him!"
 The judges declared all bets off in the second heat when Easter Lily was again made odds-on favorite with practically no players on the field end. Shell escaped severe punish ment because his mount could not win.
 The feature event of the day was the $10,000 B. and B. stake, which was won handily by Spanish Queen in straight heats. The California trot- ter Carlokin, who has not been seen in races during the past few weeks, and was saved for this rich stake, was the pacemaker throughout. In the first heat Carlokin led all the way, but lost all chances by making break near the wire. In the second heat he set fast clip to the winner, who accepted the challenge and step ped in 2:o7A, with the weather still unfavorable for fast clip. The final heat was also hard task for Spanish Queen, but she was in a trot- ting mood, without break, and land ed winner.
 With Sterling Mckinney and Mar garet O. scratched for the 2:07 trot the Pittsburg mare, Lillian R., went begging at $50 and the field $1o. She won the race as if 1t was merely breeze for her.
 The gray gelding, Fred D., driven by Tommy Murphy, was played heavily for the 2:07 pace, having plenty of followers at s100, the field averaging about $s5. Some fancied the chances of the New York pacer, Judex. Driven by James Farley, Ju- dex won the opening heat handily in 2:06. He led the field fast clip for the second, but while making the upper turn he stopped suddenly and Farley had to walk him in. It was found that the horse had sprained a tendon and will perhaps, be laid up for the balance of the season.
 Murphy tried his best in each heat, but could not bring the favorite home in front, the race going to Harry L., a rank outsider, much to the delight of short players.
 Three heats were done in the slow trot, but the race had to go over on account of the late hour. The Grand Circuit will close to-day with three races, and to celebrate the oc- casion the Columbus association will give a free gate to the public. Cir cult performers, which are through with their engagements here. are being shipped to Lexington, where the last meeting of the year opens next Tuesday.
