Carlokin looks like a 2:10 trotter this year should he be com- pelled to go that fast when he is just right and has a good day and track. The race the crowd had come to see was the 2:20 class pace, for which there was a stake of $2,000 to contest for, and which had the speed marvels Inferlotta and Copa de Oro as starters, besides such good ones as Charley D., Opitsah and Tobasco. In the first selling of pools the evening before Copa de Oro was favorite for a few pools and then Infer- lotta took first place and maintained it the rest of the evening and during the next day, and did not disappoint her backers, as she won in straight heats and lowered the Santa Rosa track record from 2:06 to 2:04%, the fastest mile ever paced in a regular race in California and the fastest mile made this year by a green pacer. Inferlotta w'as admirably driven by Mr. Hewitt, and her mile in 2:04% was not all she could have done that heat. She won the race handily. The track was lightning fast, but hard, which just suited her, and she managed to catch Copa de Oro a little off, which was also in her favor. The Nutwood Wilkes horse had received a slight injury to one of his legs on the trip over from Pleasanton, and while Durfee is certain it was not serious, the leg filled a little and surely the horse was not at his best. At that, he paced the second heat in 2:05 and went an excellent race, prov- ing his gameness in every heat. Charley D., the McKinney stallion, also showed up well and put in three heats below 2:09 in the race, while Opitsah kept inside the flag pretty well and went two heats better than 2:10. It was a great field of green pacers, no
