PRINCE LOREE WINS SECOND RICH STAKE
Scores in Straight Heats in $10,0OO' Grand Circuit
 Trot at Columbus.

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 19-Prince Loree, winner of the $10,oo0 stake at Syracuse last week and owned by Cap tain David Shaw of Cleveland, won another $1O,000 trot here yesterday. The Prince defeated a field of nine in the Hoster Columbus stake in straight heats outstepping the slight favorite, Ante Guy. Prince Loree had to stand up under hard stretch drives in each heat.
 One of the greatest battles ever seen on this track developed in the three turity, which David Guy eventually won in the third heat in wire to wire drive with Nella Dillon. The half was trotted in 1902. This clip told and the mile was won by David Guy in 2:O7 1-4. He had a nose to spare. At no time did a length separate these game trotters in the final mile. David Guy broke the first heat and Nclla Dill lon won by herself. She had the second heat and race apparently won when Murphy made a great drive the last 100 yards and collared Nella. F Belle Alcantara won the 2:O7 pace in straight heats. The large field of fifteen horses in the 2:15 trot had Jack K. as the winner. The sum maries:
