stated that the mare he had driven under the name of 

 Mollie A. was Tempest, 2:19, by Hawthorne. She was 

 bred at Stockton, Cal., had been shipped to South 

 America and brought back to the United States by Ver- 

 mont parties, who were then shipping horses to the Ar- 

 gentine Republic. As soon as these facts were laid be- 

 fore the judges, they expelled Wright, together with the 

 mare and her owner. The other races at this meeting 

 were won by Abbie V., Major, Rosa C, Caesar, Happy 

 Bee, Lobasco, Jerry L., Franceps, Reuben W. and Po- 

 cahontas Prince. Fasig's horse, Wyandot, trotted to a 

 record of 2 w^/z in the fifth heat of the race won by Jerry 

 L. While being cooled out, a hernia trouble that had 

 bothered him before, developed. He died the following 

 day and was buried under the big tree in the infield near 

 the quarter pole. The Ohio Breeders' meeting the follow- 

 ing week opened with a surprise, when Nickel Plate, a 

 45 to 1 shot, won the 2 135 trot in straight heats. That 

 race, and the 2:17 trot, in which Lobasco defeated Gold 

 Leaf after the latter had won two heats, were the best 

 events during the week, while Myrtle R. atoned for her 

 defeat by Mollie A. by winning the 2 130 trot after Gar- 

 net had scored twice. The first premiums in the other 

 events on the programme were awarded Heward H., 

 Dutch Girl, St. Vincent, Cadmus Jr., Prince M., Martha 

 Washington, St. Lookout, Elyrina, Coralloid, Bashford, 

 Keokee, Coastman, Belle Cassett, Jessie L. and Patroclea. 

 In her race Keokee trotted to a record of 2:21^2, and 

 later in the season Fasig drove her a mile to wagon in 

 2:23^, last half in 1 :io^.
