A unique incident occurred in an open handicap for twenty five pounds at a trotting meeting in Dublin, Ire land on July p. In the final Terry and Lord Drogheda trotted a dead heat in Z: fl. As the owners would not di- vide the stakes the pair were again sent over the course and made another dead heat in 2:41&. This did not inn prove matters any so the pair trotted another mile which was also declared a tie in 2:42A The owners then agreed to divide, after having placed on record the first triple dead heat per formance in light harness racing. Q. H. SholeS writes from Holyoke, Colo, that unknown parties took four horses, including the pacing mare Anna AK Me 2:0SA off his range last May, and he has been unable to locate them. Anna AK Me is a bay mare with a star | and left hind leg gray, half way to the hook. She also has a brand on her left shoulder and small wire mark on her left hind pastern Mir Sholes is of the opinion that the parties who | took this mare are ringing her. 1 The two-year -old pacing record over l a half mile track was reduced from 2:15 to 2:13A at La Harpe, Illinois, August 1, by the lilly Demore.
