were locked, and apparently trying to gain, but having no effect on Lot 

 Slocum's lead. The favorite reached the half in 1:11, and was sent along, 

 but in the stretch he cried enough and finished sixth in the line. Daisy S 

 first, Lottie M second, Gus Wilkes third, Ned Forrest fourth, Fallis fifth, 

 Slocum sixth, St. David seventh, Lillie Stanley eighth, Reality ninth. 

 Time 2:24. 



Fourth Heat— Pools: Daisy S $100, field $12, Lot Slocum $13. The scor- 

 ing was tedious, and on the ninth attempt they were sent off in another 

 straggling start. Daisy S took the lead, but a new competitor appeared in 

 Gus Wilkes. At the quarter he was a length behind the leader, with none 

 of the rest in the hunt. The two had it close all the way, but Daisy S 

 never surrendered the front place, and beat Gus Wilkes to the wire by a 

 length, Ned Forrest and St. David a dead heat for third place, Lillie Stan- 

 ley fifth, Lottie M sixth, Fallis seventh, Lot Slocum eighth, Reality dis- 

 tanced. Time, 2:26^. 



Fifth Heat — Daisy S was first around the turn, Gus Wilkes in close com- 

 pany. Lot Slocum went around the field with something of his earlier 

 speed, and at the quarter was a good third. At that point Gus Wilkes 

 broke and fell back, and shortly after Daisy S left her feet. These mis- 

 takes placed Lot Slocum once more at the head of the line, but he could 

 not stay there, and Daisy S had no great difficulty in winning the heat 

 and race, Ned Forrest being placed second, St. David third, Gus Wilkes 

 fourth, Lillie Stanley fifth, Fallis sixth, Lot Slocum seventh, Lottie M 

 eighth. Time, 2:28|.

The 2:20 class was the concluding event, and it was left unfinished. 

 Manon, Albert W, Antevolo, and Bay Frank started, the betting being: 

 Manon $50, Antevolo $42, Albert W $10, Bay Frank $5. 



First Heat — At the start Manon and Antevolo had a little the best of it, 

 but at the turn the mare broke and Antevolo took the lead, and at the 

 quarter, in 35| seconds, was a length in front of Albert W, Manon third, 

 Bay Frank last. Near the half Antevolo made a break that threw him 

 back to third place. The field was strung out with wide intervals, and 

 there was no hope of heading Albert W. In the stretch Antevolo passed 

 Manon, and the order at the finish was: Albert W first, Antevolo second, 

 Manon third, Bav Frank fourth. Time, 2:22. 



Second Heat— Pools: Manon $50, Antevolo $14, field $10. At the start 

 Antevolo and Bay Frank both broke, and at the quarter, in 35 seconds, 

 Albert W and Manon had the heat to themselves. The stallion had two 

 lengths the best of the battle, and at the half, in 1:09, he was still one 

 length ahead. They rounded the turn in that position, but at the finish 

 the mare beat him handily by a length, Antevolo third and Bay Frank 

 fourth. Time, 2:21^. 



Third Heat — Pools: Manon $50, field $15. They went away square and
