track, but Notwithstanding the condi-
ton of the track four races were trot-
ted only one of which was unfinished
at dark. The races in the 2.21 and 2.29
classes were won in three straight
heats, Prince Louie winning in the 221
class, and Onward Grafton in the 2.29
pace. RubnOw won two of the four
heats in the colt race and the money
was divided according to the summary
in this class. The second division of
the 2.20 pace was unfinished at dark.

racing, Charles Burrill of Ashland,
who drove Constantine, Jr., in the 2.29
