race, so far as Boston was concerned, was pas
pray ing for. If anything can parallel Fashions
turn of speed, il is her invincible game. Sic
now gradually dropped him, and without aao

of the day, she came home gallant winner By

up lame, bat we did not notice it, though ou
attention was directed to it. The vast crowd
that filled the entire enclosed space prevented
our getting anywhere near either of the horses

Fashion back to the stand, the shouts were 50

Club and another gentleman held on to her bi
die, she would have not only ''enlarged the
ciacle Of her acquaintance very speedily, but
| "maae mash'' of some dozen of "the rank
