all championships at the Grand Circuit
meeting here to-day and did 1t easily
after the chestnut king had won the
FIRST heat in the fastest time Of the
year.
The remarkable thing about II was
the time. Rain at night and In the morn
ing made the racing outlook slim. but
II was decided to tackle 1t IN spite Of
mud. Three races were staged before
the feature was reached, and by that
time the track vas getting dry, although
soft.

against $50 and drew the pole. william
led at the quarter and three lengths at
the half. Murphy did not start 10 drive
until approaching the stretch. and then
he came outside Of William. ovorhauling
him nj the distance and winning by a
nose in . .OOI,, the last quarter In O:2si..
Directum /. made the pace the next
Zine. with William second. They raced
like a team and when In the stretch
William scoutcd 10y Directum l. without
trouble. and won by a length, the last
half this time being 0.jS&.. and tine quar-
ter 30.
Anna Bradford made the pace slow In
the final heat. with Flower Direct sec
ond. to the half In ! :o5, and william
third. William began to dig In on the
turn and paced away from them. his
own last half being about .os on a track
fully three seconds slow.
Five races were on the getaway cara
and the . :o3 pace proved TO be a stellar
contest. Earl. Jr.. was even against
the field. but after winning the first
heat from Peter stevens he bumped up
against, a big surprise. Earl. Jr.. had
the rest beaten half way down the
stretch i'll the second heat. when up
came Braden Direct. winning by a neck.
Braden Direct raced behind In the next
own last half being In about 0:5s on a
track fully three seconds slow.
The 2:l2 stake trot vas hard fought
and Mirthful. the favorite. was beaten,
Lettie Lee winning the first two heats.
McCloskey the thru and fourth and
Mirthful the fifth. giving Lettie Lee the
race.
