FAST TINE MADE
AT DETROIT

Detroit. Mich. Aug. 1.--Splendid
sacing and fast time characterized all
four of the events on the programme OF
the Grand Circuit meeting, which be-
gan yesterday at the state fair grounds.
The Bis race OF the day, the Chamber
OF Commerce $4,000 stake for 2:lS
PAGERS, developed into two-horse con-
test after the first heat, Vernon Me-
Kinney and Branham Baughman rae
ing out in front Of the field in each OF
the last three heats.
Peter the Second. driven by young
ID HI. Valentine, had an easy time win
ming the heat, but thereafter he was
not q strong contender. After finish
ing the fifth in the initial heat, YER
non Mckinney came to the front and
took the next three, closely pressed all
the way by Branham Baughman, who.
i'm view of his stake winning perform
ances In his last two starts, was the
pick Of the field.
Akar, the Geers entry, was disap-
pointment. The handsome stallion was
slightly lame and after finishing well
up in the first round was forced to take
the nag in the second. The fourth heat
was a magnificent race all the way be-
tween the two leaders and for great
part Of the distance they paced like a
team. Coming into the stretch, how
ever, Vernon Mckinney took slight
lead, held 1t to the wire and won by
a length.
After dropping the first heat Of the
2:1e trot to Lady Mckinney, Geers
gave a great exhibition of driving when
he landed Gordon Todd a winner of
the second. Going down the back
stretch, Gordon Todd broke badly and
before the veteran driver could bring
him to his feet he was more than
dozen lengths behind the field. Then
he settled down 20 drive, caught the
leaders at the far turn. drove around
them at the head OF the stretch, and
led by half length at the wire. Geers
had no trouble in winning the next two
heats.
Soprano and Dude Archdale hook
ed up for a hard race In the G:07 trot
but the Bellini mare was just little
bit the better and won, driven out, In
straight heats. Summaries:
