Aug. 31.—A heavy shower coming at the end of the second heat of the Guy Axworthy, 2:17 class for three-year-old trotters, yesterday afternoon made necesssary a postponement of the Grand Circuit races until today.

FAIR RACING Charter Oak Free-for-All to Bring Together Mabel Trask and St. Frisco. The four trotters that will take the word in the Battle Royal free-for- all trot, purse $2,000, at Charter Oak park, Labor day, are the fastest and most consistent performers that have ever been seen on_the trotting turf. Mabel Trask, the dainty miss with the golden coat, has for two years shown more endurance than any mare that has taken the word. since Goldsmith Maid. No race hag ever been too long for her, while she always has a brush for the finish of every heat. She has also been favored by the new rules since weight has been cut out. She has from 35 to 40 pounds the best of St. Frisco in that particular. While this is a big handicap for the pride of the Geers' stable to take up in each of his races, he has never fal- tered or put up an unsatisfactory ex- hibition. He is always on a trot and always trying and that notwithstand- ing the fact that he has been forced to ‘make the pace in every heat. Geers has offered a number of times to take the cutside posifion if Cox would go on and make the pace, but the latter has always declined the is- sue, while Geers also knowy that if he did not go out in front the heats would, in all probability, be finished in time so slow that some one would get a vacation for laying up.
