race was set down for the occasion drew great
many people, and the ladies' stand was completely

THE HURDLE RACE,
with four entries, namely :-Buford's Charles Kav-
anaugh, Mclntyres Fancy Jane. McGrath's Lucy
Jackson and Cadwallader's Lightning nlly. Kava-
naugh was the favorite At the tap OF the drum
Fancy Jane took the lead and the first hurdle in
bounce but knocked it down, and the others had
trouble following her. She kept the lead until she
had leaped the fourth hurdle, when she made such
blunder, touching 1t with her feet that her rider
came near falling of, and, OF course, checked her
up, and the other horses passed her. She knocked
down every hurdle and, Of course, interfered with
the excitement, as they lay nat on the ground. In
the second mile Kavanaugh and the Lightning FLY
ran neck and neck up the hill. Coming
down the homestretch each did his best,
and 1t was thought that BufOrd would
pass unler the string ahead, but the
lnterlered with the progress Of Bulord, aud the
suit was she passed under the string in advance.
The Judges, however. ruled her on and gave Bu-
