Andrews had Tiverton ready and won. 



In 1905 Oscar Ames won the Charter Oak Purse 

 with Angiola. This was the race in which Sadie Mac 

 dropped dead. Strange to relate this was the only 

 public race she ever lost, one of her first victories 

 being in a three-year-old trot at Hartford in 1903 

 when she defeated Ethel's Pride. 



When Sadie Mac died she was owned by Miss Kath- 

 erine L. Wilks. The following year the honors in the 

 Charter Oak Purse went to another lady, the winner 

 Nutboy being owned by Miss Lotta Crabtree. The 

 little bay gelding Wilkes Heart won the Charter Oak 

 Purse in 1907. This meeting was almost stopped by 

 rain, the only races that week being decided Satur- 

 day. 



In 1908 the Hartford franchise for the Grand 

 Circuit passed to the Connecticut Fair. At its inau- 

 gural meeting Hamburg Belle won the Charter Oak 

 Purse in the three fastest heats on record up to that 

 date. Her time was 2:05, 2:06, 2.04%. Locust Jack 

 finished second. The Harvester was the winner the 

 following year. He lost a heat to Bob Douglass. 



The next winners were General H., the plough 

 horse R. T. C. Baden, Tenara, Sienna, later a famous 

 brood mare, Peter Scott, and St. Frisco. The contest 

 between the last named and Mabel Trask recalled the 

 race between Goldsmith Maid and Smuggler. In this 

 race which was trotted in 1916 Mabel Trask won the 

 first two heats. The third was declared dead after 

 which St. Frisco won the next three heats and race. 



The other winners were Ima Jay, Chilcoot, Marion-
