race course, the result of the handiwork
and good taste of q few spirited
feeling gentlemen. The success hos been
truly great, but not more than the meeting emf

before. They were well repaid for this interest In

humor again, and in readiness for the closing
struggle. This, indeed, was an exciting contest and

<ark-were required to decide 1t, when Mr. Cottrills
beautiful chestnut nlly was hailed the victor.
