Cresceus trotted a mile on a half mile track in 2.0845, lowering the world record for the distance on a half mile track. George H. Ketcham owned Cresceus and drove a close hitch sulky while Dr. A Scott Ives steered Mike the Tramp on the pace. A steam automobile assisted, and track conditions were good with near calm air.

A separate robbery report notes Mrs. John Barnes’s residence was entered on Adelaide Street, with a gold watch and chain missing.
