were ahead, and the hopes Of the desperate takeTs
went up. Ransom, Madame Dudley, Fineese
and Alroy followed close at their heels. As they
rounded the inst quarter Nesuvius gave way and
cropped 20 the rear. Quintard made the run in
Irst rate style, and seemed 90 defy the efforts Of

larently, on the second quarter OF the last mile
Madame Dudley closed the gap between her and
Mr.. Suingfeld's horse, and passed ahead OF him.
Alroy followed, and Mr. Crouses colt on the last
turn OF the race played snit, winding Mp the two

gait OF 3.3s, AlrOy next and the sister OF King
nkher very respectable third.
