Second Race This was q three mile con-
test for q bankers purse OfSlO0O, and ex
| cited considerable interest. There were
four entries, and all come to the scratch.
With a fair start, they all vent OF TO-
gether, and passed the turn of the nrst
| mile in a bunch, but there they parted
company, sud strung out tnnddDl, but
ran well up after the first quarter OF the
| second mile. After passing the stand on
the third mile, Ruth let out some of
her speed, giving her late competitors a
taste OF her quality, and leading
them hapdiIv, making the heat in 5:54
On this heat VictOrine Was badly famed,
but was not drawn. Had not this mis-
hap occurred, the resultOf the race might
have been different. In this heat Edge
comb was distanced. 1t was very appa-
rent At the commencement Of the second
heat that VictOTine was lame, and we
were surprised that she was brought to
the poll. On starting, Ruth having the
inside tack, led of, and held the lead
through the first mile, followed by the
Hiawatha colt until turning the last
quarter, Victorine passed him, and en-
! tered the second mile close up to Ruth.
| On the third mile, NictOrine manifested
more distress st the half-miIe post, and
on entering the third quarter could
scarcely leave her tracks. The Hiswatha
| colt passed her, but Ruth wa far away
| fairly flying, winning the heat and race,
distancing her competitors. Time, 5:46.
