A. w. Jennings CHI. f. Sallie Farrell, by
imp. Australian; dam by Lexington.
The horses got pretty well off st the
tap-Sallie Farrell leading Regent little
but not much. 1t was plain almost from
the start to any one at all experienced in
such matters that the race was between
these two, and on them every eye was
turned. The struggle was very close be-
tween them-nip and tuck to the foot of
the rise on the back stretch, where the
mare showed a half length ahead. A
sharp brush was made by Regent up to
the half, which was made in "a seconds
the gray fully coming up little just as
the pole was passed. Richards entry
dropped steadily behind from the quarter
and was left fully ten lengths at the half.
On the homestretch Sallie led handsome
", although the timber was laid to the
bay colt most vigorously, and TO do him
justice he made most gallant struggle
for the race. The seven pounds penalty
were too much for him, however, and
Sallie managed to lead him half length
under the string, making the mile in
1:50a. Richards entry was good third,
and Cheatham's bad fourth.

FIRST HEAT. -Lobelia got the lead,
Lula being next and the others in
bunch. Before the quarter was reached
Lula challenged for the lead and soon
took il. At the foot of the rise Leinster
showed up on them and made rifle for
the front. He found it no go-Or, rather,
didn't want to find it-and at the half
(made in SD Lula still led by length.
Allie Hunt suddenly thought about hav-
ing been a favorite, and run up to the
front and challenged Lula. The mare
did her level best, but Allie was too
many for her, and came down the home
stretch leading her by a neck all the way,
the "dogwoOd" being administered to
Lula lively from the distance stand to the
line. The heat was made in 1:53k, the
entries coming in: Allie first Lula
second, Ontario third, Leinster fourth,
Woodburn fifth, aud LObclia a poor
sixth.
SECOND HEAT.-Allie stock again went
I'D a little, and he sold for the same In the
pools that he did at the opening. The
start was very unsatisfactory, but in the
send-off Ontario got the lead, Allie fol-
lowing closely. Lobelia shot ahead before
the turn was reached, and challenged for
the lead at the quarter-didn't get Il
though, and dropped behind again. Down
the back stretch a string was made, Onta-
rio leading, Allie second and Lobelia
third. At the half CSC seconds) Leinster
ruflled forward little, but didn't 60 up.
The race down The back stretch was be
tween Ontario and Allie, and was won by
the former in 1:51 the horses coming
in the following order: OntatiO, first;
Allie, second; Leinster, third; Lula
fourth; Woodburn, fifth; LObelia sixth.
THIRD HEAT.-Allie got the lead, Lem
ster being second in the send OFF. The
quarter was made in 27t. Down the
back stretch the horses were strung ont
handsomely, all apparently running their
best. At the half Leinstcr brushed up
and at the turn challenged for the lead.
Down the home stretch the race was
beautiful and excited much enthusiasm
first Leinster and then Allie being dc
clared ahead. At the first distance stand
Allie finally shot ahead, and Leinster's RI
der commenced pulling him in, allowing
Lobclia. Woodburn and Ontario to pass
him. Allie won the heat by length, the
others coming in as follows: Lobelia sec
ond, Woodburn third, Ontario fourth,
Leinster fifth and Lula sixth. Time, LODI.
FOURTH HEAT.-Several attempts were
made for start, but owing to the eager
ness of the rider of Woodburn to get thu
lead, they were Intellectual, and all thai
| Gen. Chalmers could say or do would moi
| induce the little devils to get behind the
| line.
At last, wearied out with the dozen OF
| more false starts, the General sang out t(
| the keeper of the track TO bring in de
| tachment of the police to get them II
place. This threat had its effect, ant
all went back to behind the line
Another start was made, and tn
drum was tapped, all getting off wei
together except Lula Coleman, Wit
reared up and baked just under the line
and lost a dozen lengths, completely des
troying all chancesOf the heat. Allie LEI
| by a length TO the turn, where Ontarl
went for him and led him by hal
length at the quarter, which was made Il
| 23t, Lobelia being third. The half wa
made in the same relative order. Len
ster here made rifle for the front, an
rapidly passing each IN succession, co
Jared Allie, amid cheers loud and Ion
from the stands. Atthe turn Allies ride
commenced timbering. but it was no us
l-Ieinster was running for the heat an
race and intended to have it. Neck an
neck he and Allie ran to midway the qua
ter stretch when he shot ahead beln
erected as he did so with deafenin
cheer from the crowd. Allie quit alno'
instantly and dropped behind Ontario
Leinster coming under the string leadin
by four lengths, Ontario, second; ALI
third; Lobelia, fourth; WOOdburn, fiftl
and Lula Coleman shut out. Time 20
FIFTH HEAT.-Allie got the start in u
send off, Lobelia being next, soon passin
I'M. however, and taking the front o.
tario and Leinster running neck and nee
to the turn, where Leinster goes for Il
: front, brushing past Allie and collarir
Lobeiia. Down the back stretch the RAJ
was very pretty and exciting, but Leinst
: was evidently not doing his best. At Il
half 1854 sec. he let out a little and toe
tbe lead. which he never again reli
