Joe Huested and b. 6. Commodore. The former
won. Commodore was the favorite previous to the
start at two to one; but after the Hrst hea. Joe
Huested had the call at ten to four. After the
second heat the betting was even.
The race was very exciting throughout, and all
who were in attendance came away satisfied, with
the exception CT few Of the picayune betters who
were on the losing side. The time made was good,
considering the disadvantages horses labor under
in making the abrupt turn of the track, winch is
but half q mile in circumference. However, it is
better for saddle horses than for those in harness.
The proprietor Of the course has made, and ia

gap gradually, while Commodore appe arei to labor
and fiet under the spur, and did not extend himself

word ne cast shoe, and no time being allowed to
replace IT, ne had 70 go without It, The horses we're
started evenly. At the turn Commodore broke up,
