THE RACING.

The rain OF the previous night made the track
yesterday very heavy In places, and the time was
slower than usual In consequence. The racing,
with the exception Of the hurdle race, was not as
good as on previous days Of the meeting. In fact,
the three mile dash which had peen looked forward
to as being the next In importance to the contest
between Harry Bassett and LongfeIow was simply
miserable AFFAIR, and had II been omitted entirely
would have been better for the reputation Of the
course. The race wac run by Littleton and Susan
Ann, and there was nothing that resembled run
ming until the horses entered the homestretch at
the fnish Of the third mile. The last race OF the
meeting was dash Of two miles by threeyear olds.
The hurdle race, dash Of two miles over
eight hurdles, had seven starters comprising

country, II they would permit him TO est On

of eight small loaves Of bread. five Of which
belonged to one Of the Arabs, and three 10
the other. The stranger having eaten .

before them eight pieces Of money, saying,
my friends, there Is what promised you.
Divide It between you according " your
rights"
't A dispute arose, of course, respecting .
division OF the money but reference being
made to the Cadi, he adjudged seven pieces
of the money to theowner Of the five loaves,
and only one To him who had the three
loaves And yet the Cadi decided justly.
Anssssr has 5 loaves; B has three
loaves. The stranger eats l.3 of the eight
losves, which equals 22.3 loaves. There
would now remain s 1.3 loaves. Suppos,ng
that A and B shared alike IN eating the 10.
