have been the race of the day, but it not. IN
Gle JEFF freely backed against the field by vast
numbers of persons who confidently believed Mr.. /
Wells would not let him start if he were not in /
condition TO go. The result too plainly shows that
the colt was IS broad of Is any horse that ever
kissed the red flag.
Uncle JEFF was distanced in the first heat and the
crowd were forced to admit that prime racer IS
often launched in the game when cooked food and
blankets would most become him.
The first heat was sasher Reserve got the start,
and in most brilliant style held the first place to
the score which was crossed in 3:313. leaving Ny
Uncle on the other side of Jordan The heat was
beautifully contested by Eychequer, who ran
close second, Souvenir being third. and Endorscr
fourth.
The second heat was started for, Reserve again
IN the lead but it apparent that Minor had
done his best The pace good the running eX-
citing and when il was fni-hed, Col A. VI. Binga- /
