ting was largely against him. The following ID
the result of each heat:
First Heat.-After considerable scoring they got
off well together Buz on the inside Lantern took
the lead as they went round on the upper turn,
and got about q length ahead. On reaching the
half mile pole, Buz made a vigorous effort to pass
him, but was unsuccessful He got up to his
wheel, but could get no further. Lantern pursued
the even tenor of his way and reached the score
about two lengths ahead, in 2:35
Second Heat.-Lantern now had the inside. At
the word they went away like rockets, the pace
being quicker than in the preceding heat Lam
tern led to the quarter pole, when Buz, after ma.
king mighty effort, passed him. He retained
his advantage until they entered on the home
stretch, when Lantern increased his pace, Tapped
him, and they came to the stand together, in 2:2+
"A dead heat.
Third Heot-This was spirited and well con-
tested heat and was doubtful almost up to the last
moment Lantern led of, and at the quarter pole
was about length ahead. They continued In this
position, notwithstanding the repeated and vigor-
GUS brushes of Buz to change places and came
home Lantern in front, in 2:3la.
Fourth Heat.-Lantern had already wen two
heats out of three and seemed as fresh and vig0r-
after the tremendous struggle on the last heat
sx~rN ~f~.n~ ST.,
lameness did not appear to affect him any more
than at first, and appearances were altogether in
his favor. They got off at the word well together,
but as they rounded the upper turn Lantern ap-
peared in front He increased his distance cou-
pie of lengths, and there remained during the
greater part of the race. BuZ made several fruit
less efforts to get up to him, but it was as much
as he could do to save his distance. Lantern
came home an easy winner of the heat and money
in 2:37.
Lantern was of course, declared the winner

in the season.
