BLIND TROTTER
GETS BIG PURSE
Etawah Captures Senior Fu'
turity in Straight Heats,
With Geers Up.

KALAMAZOO. Mich. Aug. 6.-The
second days racing of the Grand Cir
cult here brought forth a new record
for two-year-old stations, in the trot,
and also the fastest race among three
year-olds for this time of the season.
Peter Volo, in the horseman futur-
ity. was clocked in 200, breaking the
old record held by Justice Brooke, of
2:091a. Several watches made Volo's
time 2:0Sh.
Murphy also made a record for him
self as he has driven both the two
year-old colt and flly to their marks.
Before the race Murphy remarked
that he regards Peter Volo as being
faster than was Native Belle, holder
of the championship for the age.
Etawah, the blind three-year-
trotter owned by Frank G. Jones. won
the senior division of the horse
futurity without much trouble. He
made the pace at all times and won
the greatest amount that has gone
with a single victory this season. AS
Geers did not win a heat last week,
this helped some.
Dillon Axworthy, the best two-year-
old last season, was the contender, but
he could not step up to Etawah, whose
time is the best made in a race by a
three-yea at this season of the
year. Barbara Overton raced well,
and Hollywood Kate finished strong in
the third heat.
The 2:10 trot proved a corking good
race, Tommy Horn finally beating the
favorite, MariGold. The three-year-
old pace was devoid of feature, Tillie
linton winning q ehe D1aGad
Seven responded in the three-year-
old trotting division of the horseman
futurity Etawah being favorite at $50,
Dillon Axworthy, $50, and the field $40.
Mcdonald had the mount on the De-
troit colt, Blackburn Watts, which
had the pole, and Dodge drove his own
filly, Hollywood Kate. Etawah won
$500 in money Dillon Axworthy $500.
Barbara Overton $500 and Hollywood
Kate $400. In addition Frank G. Jones
received TIE handsome cup and the
nominator of the dam gets 5000.
Only two came out in the pacing di-
vision of the horseman futurity. Tile
Upton had the pole and Homer
Baughman was Tapped on her, but in
the stretch the filly drew away and
won easily in six seconds slower time
than she raced last week. Tillie Tip
ton won the second and third heats as
easily and received $1,500 for the vic
tory. Homer Baughman got $3.50.
