Rose Magee, second choice, made break in the second heat and was distanced.
 Ben Earl, from Ottawa, won the Hotel Hartman pacing stake, the sec ond heat being taken away from him by Young Todd. from which Walter Cox got 9 mile in POP IA, the fastest ever done by four-year-old pacer. In the next heat Young Todd was not so good and was beaten for the place by Sir Anthony Carter that Dick Me Mahon drove after the disabling of MT. Geers in the first heat. It was on the far turn that Rythmaid fell. Sir An thOny Carter was too close to avoid a collision. Driver Geers was pitched high into the air and fell on his right shoulder. The Problem still further back was driven wide just in time to keep T. w. Murphy rom being thrown Rythmaid's driver was not hurt
