RECORDS SMASHED
BY FAST HORSES ON
THE GRAND CIRCUIT

Grand Rapids, Mich, July 50.-The
largest audience ever assembled at a
race couse in this city today in
programme of Grand Circuit racing,
lasting until dark saw the worlds rec
ord for average speed for an afternoon
on any track shattered in a series of
performances marked by the reduction
of a variety of records.
OF the Is heats paced or trotted the
slowest was the one just at dusk,
2:091a, by Strathstorm. The speediest
was Stetbrino Lads 2;04A in the third
heat of the 2:o7 pace. The average time
for is heats was 2.o6 915.
Every race was featured by split
heats and torrid finishes. Warner Hall.
favorite in the 2:07 pace, never landed
better than second, Iowa Todd show
Ing the way in the first and Rodney's
Stetbrino Lad winning the three sub
sequent heats.
The Furniture Manufacturers $10,
600 stake for 2:12 trotters, feature
event of the meet, started with Tommy
Horn a strong favorite. The Indiana
horse. however won only the first heat.
In the second heat a rush by Tenara
landed the Madden entry a winner and
brought the time down to 2:05A !,
which constituted a race record for a
trotter at Comstock track. This rec
ord endured only until the next heat
in the 2:0S trot, when the Texas mare,
Cheney, clipped half a second from
the mark, pulling it at 2:04a. This last
figure also is the fastest mile trotted
by a mare on any track this season.
Tenara, despite her evident lame
ness, outstepped the field in the third
and fourth heats, gainging the long
end of the heavy purse.
Cheeny, favorite in the 2:0S trot, full
filled expectations after dropping the
first heat to Marigold.
The 2:17 pace offered the unusual
spectacle of horses in this slow divi-
sion stepping the course as speedily
as those in the division 10 seconds

won handily in 2:05%. He repeated in
the second in a full second faster time
In the bird heat, Strathstorm nosed
out Mack Thistle. Then just at dusk
