The Delta says Allendorf was the favorite slightly,
the feeling showing itself by the NUMEROUS offers Of
sixty to hundred that he would win. These offers
were greedlly accepted by the ielders, who seemed
to think that Repentance and Lorette were certain
to win at least a heat each, and possibly three, by
judicious management. Souvenir, Verona and ALT
Morgan were only spoken of in relation to the last
place in the race
The Della says Of the race:
After some vexauous delay, the SIX got of in the
first heat Repentance went in trout and held that
position throughout the mile, running the heat IN

Now. Allendorf7s friends could not be restrained
although the Mississippi ran close second, and Lo-
rette a good third without any apparent enort. Two

The time was so fast that all horses not distanced lost
no credit by playing second fiddle.
The third heat was another RATHER. Away they

But at this point there was a right lively trade
