There were nine entries In the 2:30 :
trot or pace. Among them was a
blind horse , Brit , driven by MeKlllup ,
which started the fireworks right In
the beginning. A protest was made
against allowing this blind animal to
race on the ground that he was un
safe on the track and might Injure
some of the other horses or drivers.
The Judges did not sustain the protest.
In the Initial scoring Brit Jammed
into Lottie Rattle's sulky , chopping it
right In two. Brit wabbles around
the track like a drunk man , but his
entrance fee was paid and ho prom
ised to give a race to the field The
broken sulky was taken to the sin-
hies and a new one brought out for
the first heat. Brit and Wllkes were
a pair of bad actors In the scoring
The blind horse , when ho started ,
could not bo stopped and was apt to
Jam Into any sulky on the road.

kept hard at It. The heat was won ,
however , by Rubber Baby in a neck-
and-neck finish with Marnnda. It was
a fast heat , 2:22 : % .
Before the third heat In this race ,
the judges ordered a new driver be
hind Maranda , on the ground that the
driver had talked to the driver of
Rubber Baby , believing that Maranda
had been held In. The driver claimed
she has had lung fever and had been
training for only six weeks. He called
attention to the fact that the Judges
were held responsible for the animal
The Judges reconsidered , cautioning
him to drive out. As Rubber Baby
had first money and Maranda second ,
It was figured the two drivers had
agreed not to disturb trie condition by
Jarring things.
Rubber Baby won the next heat ,
however , making it three straight and
the race. The moneys went : Rubber
Baby , Maranda , J. H. A. , Brit.

until the Judges should determine
whether or not Kay was a member of
the American association ,
Before the second heat , Harney's
