M'KAY HORSE TAKES PURSE
Fayette National Victor In Circuits First
 Big Event

KALAMAZOO, Mich, July 23.- Fayette National, owned by Gutten- stein Bros., of Milwaukee, won the first $10,000 purse of the season on the grand circuit by annexing the Kala- mazoo Exchange club event for 2 :0S trotters in straight heats over the Rec reation Park track this afternoon. The winner, top heavy favorite, driven by Mckay, was not driven to win, but was able to take the lead and hold it to the finish in each mile without being seriously challenged by the other 10 starters in the event.
 The Exchange club purse, formerly the Paper Mills purse, was first raced 11 years ago, and is recognized as one of the classics of the big line. Belmar, the Memphis mare, driven by Taylor, gave the Milwaukee entrant the nearest opposition, finishing in the runner-up spot in the first two heaas, but falling back to third behind Mar maduke, in the final mile, the latter gelding was awarded third money.
 Jean Axworthy ran away in the third heat, throwing her driver, Harry Stokes, from the sulky but his injuries were not serious. The Ohio mare, after leaving driver and sulky near the half post, finished up with the winners in the event.
 Bessie McKaylo, the favorite. won the :O4 Columbia Hotel purse, taking the first and third heats in clever fashion, but finishing behind Iva Loo. in the second mile, after a whining drive down the stretch.
 Jean Worthy, with Kernal, in for second money.
 In 2:13 pace it became necessary under the two-heat plan for Dan Finch and the Great Chance to go an extra mile to decide the winner, the former winning in drive.
 Another large crowd was present to witness the sport. Thursday "Pop" Geers will drive Peter Manning against the worlds trotting record. Summary nrra Z:OE paee. ace. three heats. Columbia hotel, Bessie McKIyo br.m., by Peter.
