DETROIT. Mich, July 2S.-Records
Tell thick and fast at the state fair
grounds track today in connection with
the $4,000 Merchants and Manufac-
turers' purse for 2:24 trotters, the
event for year old trotters and the
2:O7 pace.
Margin won the big race in
straight heats, the time of her miles
2:o61s, 2:O7&, :O71a-constituting the
1astest three consecutive heats ever
trolted In the event. Then Hal Raven
put up the fastest two heats of the
year In pacing race-2:04%. 2:03%
and In the stake for year old trot-
ters Nancy McKerron, daughter of the
one time champion trotter, Nancy
RANKS, 2:04, stepped the best consecu-
tive. meats to the credit of trotter of
2:1OA.
The NJ. & NJ eventuated as good
many people believed it would when
Margin, from the Mcdonald stables.
trotted three heats better than 2:10 in
ner work last week, one of the miles
pelhg IN 2:O7 u. The mare had been
lame OF and on for more than a year
and today when she came out to warm
UP there was the suspicion of a limp,
put 1t soon disappeared and so far as
the winning of the rich purse was con-
cerned the ailment cut no figure.
The Geers trotter Marie n, which
already had raced better than 2:10, was
the favorite. and a sample pool in the
early selling was: Marie N 5000, Mar
gin 5000, Bisa $235, JACK Mckerron $50,
Denver SIS, and the field, which con-
sisted of Henry Setter and the An
gelus. s25
When the first big bettors were
through and the small change of the
general public took effect Marie N was
a greater favorite, selling even with
the field when the horses were called
But when the word was given to an
extra good sendoff it was discovered
how the horse stood.
The colt race was spectacular. Many
Clevelanders who had come over in
the hope of seeing Jack McKerron
make good showing in the NJ. & M.
have been Sorely disappointed in the
stallion and were ready to cheer Harry
Devereux, another son of the sire of
McKerron, in case Geers could make
him win The betting was all in favor
of the Wolverine, which had performed
we'll as year old last fall, and he
sold in the pools for $50, while Harry
Devereux brought $35, Soprano $40 and
Nancy McKerron, Sister Frances and
Winifreda went for beggarly So
apiece. But it was the trim little
daughter of Nancy Hanks. with odds
of % to / against her, that won in
straight heats and of the high priced
ones Soprano was the only one to make
any showing at all, the Wolverine be-
ing unsteady and finally distanced.
