and grounds were comfortably full. The
sport was so entirely promising that large
number Of ladies, Drawing the winds, made
their appearance in the stands especially

behind, SO continutd, until turning into the
home stretch, when the positions were as

yond Concord, even as third choice, but
CordoUa maintained her position as favorite
at more than two to one. The proof did
not sustain the claim, and the result was a
