cryEiAHp, ohio. July 1e.-Three ia
ror.,es went over. one outsider threw a
n,n.r among the talent. the fastest OPEN
,ng heat in the history OF the Grand Cir
,u., vas trotted. the greatest race in the
history Of the Edwards Pacing Stake
was recorded, and last but not least a
,vo.year-old trotting record of 2:l3L
was established to-day at North Randall
IN the first Grand Circuit clash OF the
1915 campaign.
The biggest sensation came In the
Eiwards stake. for . 10 PAGERS. the bat
lie being by far the hardest In the his
tory OF tn STAKE and one which required
q fourth heat to decide. The winner
was a rank outsider. Although Russell
Boy has been a good campaigner on the
twice arounds. few thought that the son
OF Rustic Patenter could take the meas
ure OF the great field that started in the
Edwards pace. but he turned the trick
and Incidentally psced the second fastest
mile IN the history of the stake when
h went the second heat in :03A. In
the first heat he had jumped and just
escaped being tagged. As a result not
a single ticket on him was sold. This 3
probably the first time in the history of
u Grand Circuit stake that a heat win
Ter was not played TO win by at least
"ne supporter. Halboy. the favorite.
drew place position.
Outside of the Edwards Stake the
greatest interest centred in the actlon
~ the two Psstime %trotters. Lee AK
worthy and Nolga, who were favorites
respectively in the :0s trot and two
year-old trotuing sweepstakes. 1t
proved a great day for the Pastime Sta
hle. both Nolga and Lee Axworthy prov
ing straight heat winners.
When the horses were called for the
o:0s trot Lee AXworthy appeared moro
than a little lame in his of hind ankle.
hut the Pastime owners decided to be
game and start him anyway. and Leo
Axworthy rewarded their confidence by
trotting "A beautiful race. simply out
classing the field and trottins the fast
et opening heat in the history OF the
Grand Circuit. He negotiated the big
ling in . :05 Il. which also established a
new seasons race record and "A race
record which has only been equalled or
beaten by -four OF five stations.
