Cleveland, July 1.-THE first Crane
Circuit meeting of this year came to {
close at North Randall track, today
with four trotting events that brought
out a fine quality of sport
AS was the case, yesterday, outsid
ers shared honors with the faNorites
The Tavern Steak" conceded to Dagc
r., because of his form in the prelimi.
naries, Monday, was won by Eulabel
an outsider. The 200 trot went tc
Jean Arion, who had found little
backing even for place, although Eve
Cord, driven by Geers, was expected
to win ii with ease.
1t was in the last two events of
the day that the favorites managed
TO break even. The championship
trotting sweepstakes went to Anvil, a
heavy favorite, because he trotted the
two fastest miles of the year. The
veteran driver, Ed Geers. pushed An
vii around the oval in the remarkably
fast time of 2.04A in the first heat
and came right back in the next and
concluding heat with mark of 2.o4A
In the last event the 2.19 trot. Star
Winter, the first choice in the bet
ting had little difficulty in perform
The first event was the 200 trot.
Eve Cord, the favorite, got away to a
poor start in the first heat. Derby
Boy and Jean Arion fought it out
from the first quarter, but, coming
into the stretch, Jean Arion took the
lead and won handily. She repeated
in the second heat. after Elizabeth
had pushed her hard to the half. In
this heat, Eve Cord showed her sup
porters enough speed to finish in sec
ond place and in the next she did
even better, finishing first, after Jean
Arion had pushed her to the limit
However. her fine finishing qualities
brought her nothing better than sec
ond money.
The finals in the Tavern STEAK
race for 2.f4 trotters, all drivers anna
tours. the preliminaries of which were
trotted. Monday. brought out some
fine sport. Dago F. lived up to ex-
pectations by taking the first heat
easily, but in the next heat Euiabel
surprised everybody by nosing out the
favorte in the stretch, after Tilding
had brought Dago under the wire
with the whip. Only the heat win
ners took part in the third and de-
Gliding heat Eulabel demonstrated
that her showing in the second heat
was not fiuke by taking the heat
and race in neck and neck combat
which tired Dago +. in the stretch.
Eulabel, owned by J. J. Mooney of
Toledo, is the first Ohio horse ever
to win the Tavern STEAK"
The withdrawal of King Brook from
the championship trotting sweepstakes
just before the horses were called TO
the pole, left but four entrants in this
event. Anvil went to the front at the
start of the first heat and held his
place to the wire. In the second heat,
Dude Archdale took the lead at the
pole. with Anvil second but Anvil
went to the front AT the three-quar-
ters and won with ease Dude Arch
dale dropped back. Dude Archdale
thus divided third and fourth money
with Grace.
The closing race of the meeting. the
2.19 trot, went to Star Winter in
straight heats Dublin Lady being the
only serious contender he had.
Tomorrow, the entrants in the To-
cal meeting will move over to Pitts
burg where the second week of Grand
