into straight work vesrucius ran TO the 'front.' and,
Genelg and violet dropping OH, Inverness soon
passed them, and coming with rush disposed or
onyx 1ity yards from home and landed the string
so close to Vespucius that 1t was almost difficult to
say which was the winner. The Judges however
awarded the heat to yespucus by a head, Inverness
second, onyx third, Glenleg fourh Violet fifth and
Mr.. Bacon's FLY sixth. Time, lash
