Horse Dealers Sweepstake race for
$50 trotters in straight heats over

Narbeth yesterday afternoon. One OF
the largest crowds that has attended

event which, while we'll contested,
was handily won by Halls trotter.
The Belmont Stake was also a three
heat affair, and was won by Lucy
Van, b. m, by Anderson Wilkes, own
ed and driven by Henry Dutton, Of
Wilmington, Del.
From a racing standpoint the Bel
mont Stake furnished the most in
teresting event Of the two features,
for it resulted in one of the best
trotting races that has ever been
witnessed in this section of the coun-
try at this time of the year. Lucy

ting three heats in 2:13 IA. 2:16 and
2:14 and she led most Of the journey
in all three heats. In the first heat
she reeled off the first half in 1904
IA. and the first half of the third
mile was stepped in 1:05 1-2.
The Wilmington mare was easily
the best of the field OF eight starters,
and how well she could have gone is
a question. for it did not appear as
If Taylor was driving Sadie Baron to
win. The finish of the first heat was
very close. and to the majority of the
spectators who stood near the wire, it
looked as if Sadie Baron had won the
heat, but the judges gave the verdict
10 Lucy Van. Sadie Baron was close
enough TO the winner in the other
heats to prevent Miss Kushan or
Obese finishing second. but Taylor
seemed we'll satisfied to allow Lucy
Van TO stay in the 2:14 class. Craw-
ford tried hard with Miss Kushan in
the third heat. and the finish was
very close, with all three trotters
