Gwathmey and his bay trotter, Tiverton, by Galileo Rex 2:12|, were the most prominent winners at the speedway yesterday. Many expressed the opinion from time to time, that Tiverton was really the standard bearer in Mr. Gwathmey's stable and that he was a very formidable candidate for the speed- way championship should the owner decide to enter the lists. The performances of the gelding yesterday .certainly justified the opinion that he can hold his own with any trotter that has so far appeared this season. j Tudor Chimes 2:13, with the trainer, John Howell, .up, worked two heats with Tiverton, but was not prominent at the finish of either. Mr. Howell explained that he did not get away in either brush in position to make a race. Later Tiverton was started against fcte brown trotter Kiogwood 2:17}, driven by George A. Coleman, but when the battle waxed warm Kingwood lost his balance. Then J. J. Timmins, behind Harry Davis 2:26A, joined in with Tiverton, but he never got within a length of the leader as the two neared the finish. Mr. John F. Cockerill, behind Swift 2:155, was among the late arrivals, and he promptly tackled Mr. Gwathmey and his champion, only to be added to the list of beaten ones. Swift got away like a winner, and at the quarter mile post he was still leading. When Mr. Gwathmey called on Tiverton for more speed the response came promptly, and soon the two horses were on even terms Mr. Cockerill worked hard to turn impending defeat into victory, but Tiverton came with a rush at the finish and won by fully a length. A Promising Pair of Fast Ones. Mr. Frank Work of New York, who has always taken pride in double harness performances, has put Black Robert 2:13i and Peter Stirling 2:111 together, and Mr. David Bonner, who has driven them a number of times, is of the opinion that they will make a great pole pair.
