June 26—Despite small fields in each of the three
events contested today there were a number of close finishes in fast time.
Bright Spot, a three-year-old Abbedale 2:013/4 filly owned by Mrs. Mabel
Hennion, Wanaque, N. J., with friend husband Clifford driving, proved
the class of the first event, Class C trot or pace.
Class B trot or pace proved to be a tight contest with the aged trotter
Holly Hesper 2:11. b m, by Hollyrood Prince, owned and driven by Eugene
Carpenter, the class of the trio of starters although George Van Wicklin's
three-year-old filly Over the Hill by Prologue 3, 2:10 put up a stirring
contest, forcing Hollyrood Hesper to trot the second heat In 2:11 to win.
McCall, Maison Steele's big stallion by Mr. McElwyn 1:591/4, won the opening
heat in slow time, 2:191/2, the next two heats were sparklers both in
the matter of time and the fiery manner in which they were contested,
with Hollyrood Hesper the winner.
Comet High, the Ace High pacer owned by Charles Rynoa, Plainfield, N.
J., and driven by George Van Wicklin, was very sharp today, winning the
first heat in 2:103/4 for the fastest mile of the year at the Park. The
pacer, however, had a stern opponent in Wanita Frisco, owned and driven
by Albert R. Boylan.
