The 2:30 race was trotted between the heats of the 2:23 class. The 

 starters were May Boy, Blacksmith, Unity, and Menlo. The latter was the 

 favorite in the pools, though the big young mare from Sunny Slope proved 

 that the favoritism was misplaced, as she won in straight heats without 

 being called upon. The time of the heats was 2:22. 2:211, 2:21.

The third race on the programme was the 2:20 class. It was thought to 

 be virtually a walkover for Arab. He was so much the favorite that he 

 was barred in the pools, and then for second place or better Guy Wilkes 

 would bring .$80, Manon $40, and Adair $20. It not only proved the most 

 exciting trotting race of the Fair, but also the fastest. Up to that time it 

 seemed as though the time of the four-year old race was not to be beaten. 

 This, however, was a mistake, as Arab won the first heat in 2:20, the sec- 

 ond in 2:19i, and then Guy Wilkes won the third in 2:18^, and the fourth 

 in 2:21-^. The shadows were falling dense as the horses flitted around the 

 track on the fourth heat, and it was evident that after the twenty minutes 

 allowance, darkness would put a stop to a further contest. Therefore the 

 finish was postponed until Monday, at 10 a. m. 



On Monday Guy Wilkes won the final heat by four lengths, in 2:19.
