day at the Parkway track. Brooklyn,

the little circuit. real red-hot racing
being the order throughout the triple
session. Whatever sensations occurred
in the forepart of the meet were nothing
compared to the surprise which broke
loose yesterday in the race for three
year-olds. The keenest followers of the
harness racing sport were so stunned
they almost fell against the fence
when the two heats necessary to win
had been disposed Of.
Down from Hartford came Miriam
Guy, bay lilly, with the tallest sort of
pretentons, and tipped and touted to
win in walk Among the younger
brigade she was credited with some
swift travelling, notably 1909 for the
half-mile and even better. 1t was a

move well, and was apparently step

away but did not. and suddenly DR.. Ell

race was settled by the best two out of
three heats.
