were White Hose, Cornelia Belle, Sidney Pointer, Helen 

 Simmons, Hetty G., Dumont W., Boralma, Arch W. and 

 Johnny Agan. Sixty-nine heats were contested. The 

 average time for the meeting was a shade under 2:11^, 

 the thirty-five heats trotted averaging 2:12^4, and the 

 thirty-five paced 2:09%. 



On two occasions Maud S. trotted to a world's record 

 over the Cleveland track, her 2 :o8$4, which still stands 

 as the fastest mile over a regulation track to high wheels, 

 being made over the ''strip of yellow dirt" at Glenville. 

 Nancy Hanks, Alix and The Abbot made their records

 ville, when Cresceus stepped inside of the top figure by

 Anaconda and Harold H. won their engagements in 

 straight heats. The other winners were Palm Leaf, Riley 

 B., George, Star Pugh, Charlie Herr, Charley Mac, 

 Coxey, and Onward Silver. Sixty-seven heats were con- 

 tested in the twenty races, the average time being a small 

 fraction over 2 '.11%. 



In 1902 seventy-five heats were required to dispose of 

 the twenty events offered for a five-day meeting, the aver- 

 age time being a small fraction over 2:11. The thirty-four 

 heats trotted averaged 2:11^4, and the forty-one paced 

 2.09^4. The time in twenty-six of the heats paced was
