Zigzag in warming up his horse took leap at the first
hurdle which he struck and knocked over which seemed
TO alarm the spectators and some Of the more nervous
jused the horse jumped it with great ease, and the
pulse Of the masses became calm again and they awaited
the start with anxiety All being IN resdinss the % nosss e

came TO large mound and this was beautifully Jumped
by all the horses without q bak. The horses now

and the Maid and Zgzag make beautiful leaps over 1t
but Mamie Craddock makes the attempt she falls and
rolls over her rider, who being unhur jumps up and
mounts her before she gets up Both being none the

gallant pace, who have taken the double leap at tho
became intense Tho Maid leading then approached and
took the fence and ditch leap; but she came down
she fell and threw her rider heavily to the ground
Zgzag passed close by him he lay but did not touch
him when jumped TO his feet and endeavored TO regain
his horse but fell again. and the impression prevailed
At this moment, and in less time than it can be related
gentleman mounted the mare and went after Zigzag
at sappng pace, some moments before Mamie had
cleared the ditch. The latter now began to mend her
pace taking the fences and stone walls she came
to them with By the time the leaders had reached
the mound the lower turn she up with them and
taking her leap there the gallant STYLE she left the
inside Of the and came the long
way advance Of the others, where two brush fences
meantime Zgzag instead Of following the mare, a. he
should have done, came up on the same route that NO
had taken twice before which was the wrong one and
Of course lost all chance Of winning, Mamie Craddock
made beautiful finish, the Maid Of Ottawa getting the
second place for coming In right although q long
way behind, while Zigzag and Charley Riley were not
