was acting badly and failed to get into
the forefront. However, when the real
driving commenced the animal travel
ed a fast and pretty rate and made
good showing. After crossing the wire
at the close of the heat, the numerous
drivers in an attempt to draw rein,
crowded each other about so yards to
the east Of the judges stand. Here
Imperial Dotte was damned close to
the fence, the wheel of Mr.. Bakers
sulky running up on the earthen cop
ing near the east end of the course.
He was slid off his seat and the horse
got away. Although numerous efforts
were made to catch the animal, there
were unavailing, the horse going at a
furious gallop until he became almost
winded. After the third round, and at
the quarter-post on the back stretch,
Charles MCGEE, of Harveysburg, War
rem county, Ohio, tagged the horse by
tossing a blanket over his head. Nc

Although touted as sure winner of
the 2:11 pace. the first event, Mans
field, a bright and active bay horse
owned by H. Hannah, of Oxford, fail
ed to get the leadership, and John D,
a bay gelding owned by J. Tate, of
Connersville, Ind, after considerable
urging took the front and kept stead
lily in that place, getting first coin in
the division of the $500 purse. Consid-
cradle money changed hands at the
ringside by those who had faith in
the Hoosier gelding. Mansfield's chan
ces would have been considerable to
the good had the track been in a con-
dition such as was noted Tuesday and
Wednesday. There was hard driving
all the way round, and when the vari-
GUS drivers dismounted the mud, fig
uratively, had to be scraped off of
them. A summary of the event is as
