The crowd attic nding on Wednesday

Traction cars wereA early laden with
large crowds. comtng from points all

lines sent bleNdelegations. In
the event of favorable Aweather today
there will >be almost congestion or
traffic, although arrangem ents for the
running of special carst and trains
have been fully made in anticipation
of the heavy patronage.

Misslite.a fine and strong bay mare,
owned by J. Snyder, of Springfield,
was easily the favorite in the $3.50
trot. although she never had a frac-

the race never had chance to take
FIRST place, because Misslite showed
the best form. The field merely had to
vie with each otherd for place and
show. This afforded the real interest.
The time showed six seconds faster
than the class schedule, so the horse
enthusiasts got double interest out of
the contest. A summary follows:

the getaway in the first heat. when the
driver of John A. Kumler, owned by

didn't make the course. but was scor-
ed in fifth place. In the next two
heats John A. Kumuer placed and got
