ing the last mile in galop and Little Flea having,
Wednesday last and his distance against the
fleet blonde who made the then fastest three mile
on record viz 5:36h and 6:3i all gave token that
both of them right time would be literally used
up The betting before the start in favor of Arrow
odds of about 100 40 which figure considerable
amounts staked. On starting for the first heat
Arrow took the lead aud kept it for two miles by about
four lengths when Flea gradually closed up the rap and
the backsiretch of the third mile locked and appa
renty passed Arrow handily Arrow now made great
