MISS HARRIS WINS
BIG PRIZE OF RACE
Daughter of Peter the Great
Marks Up a New Worlds
Record.
HARRoD's CREEK A WINNER

Harris NJ, a daughter of Peter the
Great driven by Leon Mcdonald, this
afternoon won the $4,000 Board OF
Commerce stake for 200 PAGERS, the
feature event of the second days
Grand circuit program, incidentally,
Mcdonald drove the Indianapolis
mare into a worlds record for two
consecutive heats by a 4-year-old
mare and also established new rec
ord for the Board OF Commerce stake,
heretofore known as the Chamber OF
Commerce stake. The new mark for
the stake was set in the first heat,
which was covered in 2:0lA, and the
worlds record was completed when
Miss Harris M. negotiated the second
mile in 2:0lM.
Miss Harris NJ. completely out
classed the field in the first two heats,
In the first mile Mcdonald held her
back until the quarter pole.
Here he let her out and with ire
mendous burst Of speed slowly over
came the lead of Goldie c. and won
by length.
The Second Heat.
The second heat was virtually
repetition of the first, Mcdonald driv-
ing his mare in several lengths ahead
of Sadie Densmore. The third heat
furnished the real fight OF the race,
Miss Harris M. winning in gruelling
finish with Savoy, Sadie Densmore
and Billy Dale. Billy Dale led to the
three-quarters with Miss Harris NJ. in
second place. At this point the field
closed in and the finish was so close
that many of the spectators were I'M
certain as to which had won.
Favorite a Loser.
The 2:l2 trot for 3-year-olds, with
$500 added, was captured by Harrods
Creek, which took the last two heats
from Expressive Lou. The latter,
picked to win the event on the
strength of her showing at North
Randall last week, took the first heat
with little difficulty, but lost by
nose in the second and was so far be-
hind in the third that Murphy slowed
down before reaching the finish. The
last half of the second heat was
stepped in l:0lH.
The other event on the card was
the 2:l2 pace, which went to Patrick
NJ, while Dexter Direct and Duimeter
also took heat each. The decision
went to Patrick NJ under the placing
system in effect at the local meeting.
The second heat. won by Dulmeter,
provided the best contest, the finish
Deing so close that only the judges
could separate them.
Tomorrow the historic Merchants
and Manufacturers $4,000 stake for
2:08 trotters will be run off. A large
field is entered for this classic. sum-
