At the first word they went forth, Marcboness
on the inside leading, closely followed by Fashion,
with every appearance of sliding her tlme."-
They both took IT pretty easy up the back stretch
at the quarter they appeared about length apart
out from thence The gap appeared to open !; round
the top theyWere In thspOslonwell together taking
il somewhat easy, and made the first mile in ISL;
up to the half they kept very similar without any
increase OF speed round the top Fashion appea ared
TO close, and down the straight course they were
well together; at the they appeared to breast
each ether II was now 100 to 20 on Fashion, who
led home the second mile in two minutes, but
close together. At the bottom there was an evil
dent increase of speed, Fashion appearing to so
her best, closely waited on by Marchic n .ss not
more than a length behind AT the half they were
close together, Fashion leading; round the top il
was much the same, but down the straight course

notwithstanding the excellent endeavors of hei
opponents rider to the contrary, about quarter
length in advance, in 50b.

abreast at the distance; Fashion led home in 54
hsad in advance. AT the quarter round for the
second mile, Fashion led some three or four lengths
in advance, and increased her speed, keeping the

both went of rather on the outside of the track,
and Fashion led home the second mile in 59t
For the third mile, Marchioness appeared to loose
still more ground but at the hals Marchioness
what recovered and made the space less between
her and her rival. but moi sufficiently so to be o.
