at Parkway Driving
Club Track
By ]. S. Mitchell

Whatever remnant of the trotting
tempted into life yesterday by the
Parkway Driving Club, of Brooklyn
with the metropolitan circuit subscrip-
tion meet of three events, at the little
half-mile trotting track at Kings High
way, on the Coney Island Boulevard.
A crowd of about two thousand Of
those who love the harness animal for
the speed he can show hitched to 8
sulky braved the scorching heat, the
dust and the thirst to enjoy the fun
Still trotting meet, with nothing to
wet a mans whistle, is not the real
thing, yet those who were there yes
atmosphere, although they stood
around. as one of them put it, with
the butts OF their tongues bulging."
In any other part of the United
States the spectacle of a 2:08A pace
on half mile track would have at
tracted thousands of spectators, and
that is what Lizzie March. daughter
of Lord March, did yesterday in the
third heat of the pace for the $500
Driven by her owner, John H. Law
renee, she heightened out without the
least inclination to break. She captured
the money in straight heats.
In the second and third heats she
had the warmest sort of tussle with
June Bug, and in each tilt only came
home on the drive. The verd.,t in the
second heat was that she Won by a
short head, and neck was tic measure
ment by which she secured the bracket
In the third.
Patsey p Triumphs
In the 2:16 trot for the 1000 purse
Patsey P, singularly enough black
mare, showed great power and style as
mover. She collared the money in
straight scores from a fast string. In
The first heat, especially, she demon
strated that she was able to outstep
her opponents. When about halfway
out on the journey Dickerson, her
driver, found himself in sixth place,
and all of a sudden he touched up the
black, and she responded SO quickly
that in another hundred yards she was
up in front with Sarah Douglas. Pat
sey won by short head.
Garrison, who drove Sarah Douglas,
broke a wheel, and the mishap surely
subtracted more or less from his
chances. In the second and third heats
Pa sey P. had the pole each trip, and
although several times challenged by
Sarah Douglas, she always had re-
serve enough to draw away.
Money for Soldiers
The proceeds of the meet will be
Fiven to the families of the Brooklyn
lnfantrymen now at the front.
