and the two subsequent ones by StockwOod. San

Lewis colt Joe Johnson, ana Mr.. Browns chestnut

swO others in the contest. Joe Johnson was known
TO be good one, but he had sulked few times
lately. ON this occasion he was run with blinkers.

and gave great satisfaction.
The third race, mile and three quarters, was not

less than her regular weight
The last event Of the day was four mile dash,
which had four starters. The race was won by
