against Thales—won by a plate.
'llse races were not over until past seven o'clock, long hefote
which the course was nearly deserted. The last heat was rode in
the dark, so that it was scarcely possible to see the horses at any
distance. It was a good race for some of the losers, as no winner
of a bet could see the face of his customer distinctly enough to pull
bins up after Purity had won the race. The betting on the day's
races ran heavy.
