Show RUSSELL BUY WINS PUCE FROM HAL BOY Grand Circuit Races Are U n interesting ; Events One-sided. HARTFORD. Conn., Sept. 8. Eight verv tame and uninteresting heats in four different classes made up the third day's programme of the Grand circuit meeting at Charter Oak park today. The unfinished 2;10 pace from Tuesday drew two starters, the two-heat winners, for the sixth heat and Russell Boy was an easy winner over Hal Boy. Single G.. the chamber of commerce winner, showed his superiority over a field of five starters, taking the lead and holding it all the way in the first two heats and overcoming Leila Patchen's slight advantage in the third heat at the half-mile and winning in straight heats. The two drives by McDonald of Rastus in the last two heats were features of the day's racing, his strong finishes bringing in second money. The 2 :04 trot had four starters and Margaret Druien was never In danger of losing, while the 2:24 trot for three-year three-year -olds saw only three horses at the starting point, and in this Geera sent De Roche through just as he pleased.
