READVILLE, Mass. Sept. 3.-In one
race track, Simon Kenton, a brown
horse, with a handicap of 315 feet, won
the pacing division of the American
Derby here Yesterday in 8 minutes ~
seconds. While great credit is due the
animal for his win, still more credit Is
due the Canadian PAGER, The Eel, who
started from scratch and finished third.
Had there been another 100 yards to
go the gray would have won. Simon
Kenton Is owned by J. Simpson, of At
tleboro, Mass. Second money went to
another Massachusetts horse, Bard AL
lerton, owned by Harry Litchtield, of
Somerville.
The Weather was ideal for horse
racing, but the track was three or four
seconds slow, owing to a recent rain
storm. The racing, however, was ex-
%cellent, and upwards of 1900 people
turned out.
The way hat The Eel moved down
the field in the handicap was simply
marvellous and he is the most talked
about horse In the city tonight. In 60
ing away at the word the bay gelding
Simon fell, six horses going over him,
but none were seriously injured. Baron
Whips, the Newark horse, just missed
going into the heap, but was in a posi-
ton where he could not go on, M his
driver, Tommy Murphy, sent him right
to the Darn
Lon Mcdonald won his fourth $40, 900
race with the o mare Margin, al
though Inner Guard, we'll driven by
Tommy Murphy, gave the o mare
the race of her life for the entire mile
in the second heat, finishing second by
only inches. Carol wen the 2:09 trot
in straight heats handily, although
Beatrice Bellini set the pace most of
the distance in the second heat.
READVILLE, Mass, Sept. Stand
ing out prominently on the program for
getaway day of the grand circuit meet
ing at the Readville track, the second
of the two out of three matches for the
trotting championship of the world
etwee the Kentucky mare, Hamburg
Belle, holder of the worlds title, and
Uhlan, the Massachusetts, bred horse,
owned by Charles Sanders, of Salem,
was easily the feature of the attrac-
tive card. Up to the time Hamburg
Belle defeated Uhlan in the first match
at Cleveland, breaking the worlds rec
ord, she was owned by John E. Mad
den, who then sold the mare for $4,000
to n of the well-known Hanna fam
lily of Cleveland.
Both of the trotters had a practise
jaunt before the large crow yesterday
and gave every evidence of being in
the best possible condition. In pick
ing a winner there was very little to
choose between them, but the experts
leaned slightly towards the Kentucky
the race at the North Randall track
two weeks ago.
The other events scheduled for the day
were the trotting and pacing division
of the horse breeder futurity; the 2.0S
pace; FL trot; the Blue Hill handicap
for trotters, and the Neponset handicap
