 held his lead, with his stable companion second. Notidle came up and 

 passed Monterey but could not overhaul Kenney. The latter, while running

SEVENTH DAY. 



There was a fine attendance, beautiful weather, and the track in fine 

 order. The card for the day was headed by the trotting purse, 2:25 class, 

 for which seven started — Mt. Vernon, Woodnut, Marin, Jane L, Maid of 

 Oaks, Longfellow, and Bay Rose. In the pools Woodnut sold for first 

 choice $50, $25 for Jane L, $20 for Marin, and $10 for the field. The first 

 heat was fought out by Jane L and Woodnut, the others not being in it at 

 any time. At" the half-mile Jane L had the best of it. From there to the 

 finish the chestnut son of Nutwood changed the appearance of things and 

 passed under the wire first with a lead of two lengths, in fast time, 2:21f, 

 Longfellow, Maid of Oaks, Mt. Vernon, and Marin following, Bay Rose 

 failing to save his distance. 



In the second heat both Jane L and Woodnut broke before reaching the 

 half-mile post. This gave Longfellow the lead. He kept it to the straight, 

 where Woodnut came up and pressed him hard. Longfellow broke and 

 gave Woodnut the heat in 2:23^, Maid of Oaks third, Jane L fourth, Marin 

 fifth, Mt. Vernon last. 



Before the third heat betting was verv active, Woodnut $100, Jane L 

 $40, Marin $20, field $20. Charles Marvin taking the seat behind Jane L
