Eastern at Rochester and Utica, fourth to Great East- 

 ern at Poughkeepsie, fourth to Hannah D. at Hart- 

 ford and second to the same mare at Springfield. 

 Trio was in the same class as General Grant at Cleve- 

 land, Buffalo and Rochester, where the Iowa horse 

 went amiss after winning his race. She won second 

 money at Cleveland, third at Buffalo, where she 

 trotted to her record, 2 123^4, and third at Rochester. 

 When General Grant dropped out, Planter was in the 

 way, Trio finishing fourth to him at Utica, second at 

 Hartford and unplaced at Springfield, while the Ham- 

 bletonian mare, Mattie, defeated both her and Planter 

 at Poughkeepsie after each of them had won two 

 heats. During the balance of the season Bateman 

 trotted second to Tanner Boy at Kingston, where 

 Driver saved his entrance in a race won by the 

 Maine bred trotter, Bay, by Gideon, was again 

 second to Tanner Boy at New York, where W. 

 H. Beede defeated Oscar, was second to Belle 

 Brasfield at Doylestown and second to W. H. 

 Doble with Rip Rap at Woodbury. The campaign of 

 Centennial Year closed at Jersey City, N. J., Novem- 

 ber 2, where Result defeated Driver after a six-heat 

 contest, in which Tommy Ryan and Moscow won 

 heats. 



During the season James H. Goldsmith started in 

 eighty-four races, of which he won sixteen, while, as 

 is shown by the following table, Bateman, his largest 

 money winner, was second in ten of the twenty-two 

 races in which he took the word and the summaries of 

 the events also show that he did not win a heat :
