ering Of the track record for both

full second to 2.02A in the first heat
of the 2.03 pace. Later on in the fourth
heat of the 214 trot, Hailworthy
dropped the track trotting record to
2G7A.
Gift Line ruled as favorite in the
2.O3 pace and won in two professions
that grew exciting only at the finish.
The Eel was a length behind at the
wire in the first heat. while Aileen
Wilson was only a neck behind at the
finish of the second heat.
The 22O trot for the Grand Rapids
Railway $4,000 purse furnished exciting
contests.
After Henry H. had won the first
heat rather easily, Hickey Rawson
took the next two and seemed to have
the fourth won when Henry H. came
from behind in the last 100 feet and
took the heat by nose. Henry H.
led all the way in the fifth. Turf his
tory was made when Willie won the
first heat OF the 2.14 trot, as it was the
first time chat a foreign bred trotter
had won heat in less than 2.10. Will
| lie made it in 2.0SM. In the second heat
Willie was nosed out at the wire by
Hailworthy, who took the fourth and
fifth heats as well. incidentally lower

of the 3-year -olds leading the others
around the track by a big margin and
winning each heat pulled up.

own way in the PIP pace. although she
