FIRST HEAT-The eleven, however got
away in good style from the string. some
dashing off furiously, others evincing adis-
position to remain Just where they were.
Shouts of laughter, loud and long followed

fourth turn, aud struck the home stretch.
Here they come" shouted one. "Clear
the track there" fairly shrieked the COM
mittee men. Back there, back" said the
blue-coated policemen, casting one eve

was announced, and the mules went off 60
the cooling ground TO prepare for

six had been permitted Ito appear in, the
five having been distanced in
the previous one. Sothe six ranged In line
and started off as before. Again there was

broke loose in myriads, policemen opened
their weather eyes as before, and to crown
all, IN came Speculator ahead again in the

So, then, there was a great shout and ap-

liant rider, and people crowded about the
stand until the track presented an unbro-
ken sea of upturned laughing faces for
twenty feet on either side. Speculator was
proclaimed victor.
Then there was announced a dash of one
mile, TO be run by the i've mules disianced
IN the trst heat. Four of them only en-
tered, however-LocomotiVe not putting in
an appearance. kuKluz came in the win
