CLEVELAND RACES

Cleveland O., August 9.-Ideal condi- tions graced todays meeting of the grand circuit at the North Randall track, and the result showed in the various races. Two new individual records were set up. the fastest trotting heat of the year was stepped and the events generally brought out more than ordinary speed.
 MT. Billings announced this afternoon that Uhlan would attempt to break his record to sulky in the open on Friday. At the same time he will try to break the record of 1:581a made by Lou Dillon with a dirt shield at Memphis on October "A, 1903.
 Soprano, new star of the grand circuit, added to her previous laurels today, cap- turing the Fasig stake race in handy style. Joan, her greatest rival, proved a disappointment.
 Soprano stepped the fastest trotting heat of the year in the first heat of the Fasig stake race, which she completed in 203a Incidentally she lowered her best pre- vious mark, which was 2:o5h, made at Detroit last week.
 Zulu Hal, recent graduate from the half-mile track, made new record for herself in the first heat of the 2;10 pace. stepping the mile in 203A when hard pushed by Ernest.
 The free-for-al trotting championship sweepstakes. with 5000 added money, brought out a small but select field.
 Joan, the favorite. lost the first heat to Dudie Archdale. but in the next she showed her class by outbrushing Dudie Archdale in the stretch and completing the mile in 2:04h, half second better than her previous mark. The third quar- ter of this heat was the most sensational of the meeting, Joan and Dudie Archdale stepping it in @1a seconds.
 Until this time the race appearedSto be between Joan and Dudie Archdae, but in the next heat Brace Girdle surprised the onlookers by winning handily after the entire field had raced neck and neck to the three-quarter pole. Dudie Archdae Joan and Brace Girdle, the heat winners fought the fourth heat alone, Dudie Arch dale winning the heat and race.
 The 2:14 pace brought out the biggest field of the day. Hal Akin took the lead in the final quarter of the first heat, and stepping the quarter in 30 seconds flat held it to the finish. Eddie Dillard the favorite, however, took the others.
