 North Randall, Cleveland, July G. Walter Cox. the New England reins- man, distinguished himself by pilot ing the winners in both divisions of the Ono stake for 2.08 trotters, the feature of todays Grand Circuit har- ness horse racing at North Randall some of the finishes being the closest oe the season. The stake was cut in two because of IS entries, nine start ing in each division, which carried a purse of s5,000 each. A cup also went to the driver.
 It was the first time in the his- tory of this track that such a purse has been divided, and the original purse given to the winner of each section, and probably the first time in the history of harness racing that a stake of this value has been so handled.

After fin ishing eighth in the first heat, Cox drove the lilly to victory In the next two heats. In the first heat, he was in the lead. when his mount went into a break and he was forced to pull up. Patrick Todd then took the lead and held it throughout, after withstanding the challenges of Little Peter, Molly Knight, Dottie Day, Edith Carter and Mary Coburn in the stretch. They finished in that order noses apart, Todd's packers received s5l on a s2 mutual ticket.
 Natalie the Great took the lead at the half-mile in the second heat, and set the pace in the third and was never headed, winning both pulled up.
 E Colorado Wins
 The second division went to F Col orado, owned by B. Par6ee, of Allan tic City, in straight heats. Cox laid in third position with the bay horse until the three quarter pole in each mile. He passed the field in the stretch in the first heat but was forced to hard drive, the first six being closely punched at the wire.
 In the second heat Dorothy Day furnished the closest competition in the race to the wire but the remain der of the field was not far behind the well punched horses. The time for this mile, 2:O4A was within half a second of the record,
 Both Natalie the Great and F Col orado were overwhelmingly favorites Their victory brought Cox's record to four firsts during the meeting Another close finish was produced in the third heat which was won by Emma Harvester in a hard drive from Eliza Dillon, Wiki Wiki, Dorothy Day and Kilo Watts.
