1874 MEETING. '21 



Hiawatha out of Fannie Berg by Ambassador. In this 

 race Port Leonard finished second and Nellie Bush third. 

 Nellie Bush also won a first and a second at the Northern 

 Ohio Fair in 1873, Regent defeating her in a heat race at 

 a mile. Of the harness races at this meeting Sir George, 

 Ohio Boy and Tom Britton each had two first moneys 

 awarded them, the fastest heat in the six races being made 

 by Ohio Boy in the first heat of the 2 124 class when he 

 defeated Harry Mitchell and Derby. The only other win- 

 ner to harness at this meeting was the brown horse Little 

 Mack, driven by W. H. Boyce, Chestnut Dick being sec- 

 ond to him in the 2 133 class in 2 :33^, 2 134, 2 135. 



For its meeting in 1874 the Cleveland Club gave $33,-

 in 2:2234. On the next trip Lula was a length in front 

 of the Volunteer gelding at the finish in 2:20^. She 

 then went on and won, trotting the first half of the decid-

 was nothing to what followed when Cozette defeated 

 Lucille Golddust, or when Mambrino Gift went down be- 

 fore Fred Hooper. The climax of the week, however, 

 was reached in the $6,000 race for the 2 :20 class on the 

 last day. Red Cloud, the Indiana horse, was the favorite 

 over the field with Camors second choice and Gloster 

 third. As soon as the word was given Doble took Gloster 

 to the front and led to the quarter pole. As the field 

 straightened out in the back stretch both St. James and 

 Red Cloud passed him, the latter being in front at the 

 half in 1 :o8^. After passing this point the giant trotter 

 of the Volunteer family closed with the leaders and forced 

 Red Cloud to trot the third quarter in 34 seconds. The
