took the mare at the end OF the Old stand He drew
in front and had the mare at his wheel as he passed
| the half-nile pole in l:l6ts. He led length along
the Flushing end for more than half way, when the
marc seemed to get cntangled and she dropped back
| another length or more aud the stallion looked
| nil over a winner. At the three-quarter pole,
however, he began to hobble and HITCH the speed
| and distance being too much for him 10 continue
longer and the took sides with him as be came
