DILL ON AXWORTHY
CAPTURES TROT
Colt Makes Show of Field
in MatrOn Stake at
Detroit.
MARGOT HAL WINS STAKE

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 12.-Tame
racing marked the opening of the
Grand Circuit meet here yesterday.
The only real contest was in the
Board of Commerce stake for ZIG
PAGERS, which went five heats before
Margot Hal was returned a winner.
Dillon AXworthy won the trotting di-
vision of the Matron stakes; Tillie
Upton the pacing division and Lord
Dewey the 2:15 trot, all in straight
heats.
Dillon Axworthy was by far the best
among the ten starters in the Matron
trotting section. In the first heat Ser
rell held the colt back in the field UNI
til the far turn was reached and then
easily took the lead from 1maJay.
At the finish he was a couple of
lengths to the good.
In the second heat the Axworthy
colt was never headed. He seemed to
have plenty in reserve and could have
lowered his time considerably had he
been driven out.
The pacing section, with only three
starters, was merely a procession from
start to finish in both heats, the colts
never changing their relative positions
after the word was given.
It took Margot Hal some time to get
a-going in the Board of Commerce
stake but when she finally found her
stride she made a show of her oppo-
nents. Del Rey, making his first start
since the Buffalo meeting, made a fine
bid in the first heat of this event. He
was we'll in front until inside the dis
tance post, when he went into the air
and finished fourth.
Holly Brand and Margot Hal raced
like a team a dozen lengths ahead of
the field in the fourth heat until the
top of the stretch was reached. Here
Hal forged ahead and was jogging
four lengths in front at the wire. In
the final round Margot Hal was a
block ahead all the way and was
slowed down to walk at the end.
Lord Dewey had everything in the
2:15 trot, taking three heats as he
pleased. Today's program includes
the classic Chamber of Commerce
IS, 900 stake for 2:13 PAGERS; a $1,000
purse for 2:16 class trotters and tha
