had entered his nag with the understand
ing that the rules were to be waived,
%. to weights and distances, and that
unless this were done he should with
draw his horse and demand his entrance
money.
Mr.. Griffin had werd to say, which was
to tho effect that horse in thus race had
been entered the. day before under an
other name, and he thought there was
piece Of curly wool concealed somewhere
in the wood pile. He wanted additional
daylight shed on these matters.
A diligent search discovered the officers
Of the Association, but they kept stiff up
per lip; the crowd made observations
squirting towards getting their gate money
back-the horsemen had . palaver among
themselves, and the thing was finally 60,
under the rules. Tho riders were weighed.
resulting in Jimmy Boyd having his dra-
perry ornamented with three pounds of
sheet lead. Fanny Fern took the pole

Kitty was apparently morally or coastitu-
t,onally opposed to races, and kept 50 far
