240 THE GOLDSMITHS. 



2:225/2. Dan Smith scored again in the third heat in 

 2:21^, but the balance of them went to Director in 

 2:2ij4> 2:22, 2\22y 2 . Director's next engagement 

 was at the June meeting of the Driving Club of New 

 York, which was one of the most enthusiastic ever 

 held at Fleetwood Park, the keynote having been 

 struck the week before by W. H. Vanderbilt, when he 

 drove Maud S. and Aldine to an ordinary road wagon 

 in 2:1554. John Goldsmith was also anxious to win 

 at Fleetwood, as he had made his professional debut 

 on that track, and there was a delegation from Orange 

 County on the grounds to see Director perform in his 

 race with Buzz Medium, J. P. Morris, Joe Bunker and 

 Helen. The first heat went to Joe Bunker in 2:19^, 

 Director finishing third. Joe Bunker also won the 

 second heat in 2 :20, Buzz Medium and Director trot- 

 ting a dead heat for the place. In the third heat Di- 

 rector cut off Joe Bunker on the turn, causing him to 

 break. Director won the heat in 2 .22. It only delayed 

 the decision, however, as the Wilkes gelding carried 

 Director to the half in the fourth heat in 1 :oSy 2 , forced 

 him to break, and won by half a length in 2:1934. 

 Romero was started in the 2:19 class at this meeting 

 and finished third to Captain Emmons. There was 

 also plenty of excitement on the last day of the meet- 

 ing, when Majolica, in the three-minute class, trotted 

 a third heat in 2:17, defeating Phallas and Jay Eye 

 See, won the four-year-old race, in which Phil Thomp- 

 son and Lucy Gernent fell in the deciding heat. 



After defeating Cornelia and Walnut at Albany, 

 Director was shipped to Chicago, where he won two 

 races and reduced his record to 2:19^ in the $3,000 

 stallion race, in which he defeated Monroe Chief,
