It will thus be perceived that Allie
Hunt, the second faVorite, soon became
first, and that Morgan Scout also picked
up very much in the later pools.
FIRST Heat.-The horses got very well
| off together, King Tom leading slightly,
Deringer being next, and Allie next.
They kept their relative positions to the
first quarter, which was made in q sec.
On the back stretch Deringer pulled
ahead, and at the half stake lmade in SIS
see.) lead Allie by a length-the horses
being pretty well in a string, King Tom
bringing up the rear. At the u they
punched slightly and Scout made a break
for Allie, collaring him at the three
quarter post and passing him after a
pretty brush on the home stretch, COM
ing under the line on the first mile a
length ahead, and making it in l;53E,
Deringer being second. This was the or
der to the quarter, where Deringer showed
signs of tagging. Before he had reached
midway of the back stretch &c was appa-
rent to all-even his most ardent sup
porters-thst he was gone up" At the
half a sharp brush occurred between Allie
and Scout, resulting in the latter taking
the lead, amid cheers from the crowd.
| Scout steadily pulled ahead from the
turn to-midwsy the home stretch, where
Allie made a desperate effort, and almost
coIlared him.. Thence under the line
both horses came down under whip and
spur almost under a blanket, poor Derin-
ger dropping further and further behind,
until with q shout from the crowd that
made the welkin ring, scout came under
the string leading Allie by three-quarters
OF a length, in 3.43A, Tom being third,
and the crest-fallen fsyOrite, blown and
dropping, some hundred yards behind
distanced!
Second Hsat-The announcement OF
the distance of. the favorite against the
field put q sort of damper on everybody.
Outsiders didn't know where to trust a
cent, and hated to put up" On what a
| great many thought a "put up" game.
In the pools Morgan Scout was the favor
tie against the field of over two to one.
In one pool sold just before the race, the
Scout. brought 100, Alice Hunt %, and
Tom ISL
A pretty good start was made, King
Tom leading by a length, which distance
he kept to the quarter. From this point
down the back stretch to about midway,
| he seemed to have it all his own way,
when the Scout suddenly went for him
and passed him. Allie also anne up. and
collared the KING. The first half was
made in So. After leaving the half stake
Allie took a notion to come up on the
Scout, and did so. Tom also made a rifle
for the front at the turn, and on the home
stretch passed Allie. The first mile was
| made in i min. as sec, Morgan leading
under the string by a length or so, Tom
being next, and Allie being three or -four
lengths behind. At the quarter Allie
went for Tom, oollared him and down the
back stretch made q bold stroke for the
Scout. On rising the brow ofthe bill at the
half the Scout sung "sboo-hy''and lit out,
rapidly putting very broad bands of day
light between himself and all that fol-

at this, in which everybody ~jOined-ln a
horn. 1t the turn the timber was laid to
Allie most vigorously, and under its in
spring influence he gained a little on the
Scout-6ut very little, ana amid the
cheers o the crowd, the gallant old rebel
came under the iine, leading Allie by six
lengths and King Tom by a dozenl
Time 3.44-winning the heat and race.
