the lead by a neck, but Village Blacksmith
hung him close, and with all that Barney
attempted, be could not shake off his COM
petitor. 1t was a desperate and exciting
struggle between the two the balance OF the
way round. just before reaching the
stand, the Blacksmith got even up, and
they passed under the string so nearly to-
gether that many thought Village was the
victor, while others declared it dead
heat, but the judges decided it in favor OF
Barney. Time, 1:45a.
Considering the weight the old horse was
carrying, this was remarkable repeating

in the old horse yet, He is in fine condi-
ton, holds his head like a two year old,
and we think he is the coming horse 10 riyal
