Il will be recOllected that on Tuesday last, when

against the held before the start, Hopeful beat
him, and won the race IN three straight heats
making the second one in 2:28. Mark the cOnSter-
nation of the honest people who had seen the pre-
viOus trOt and attended the second one yesterday
afternoon, when they found Everett Ray selling
at 100 to 60 over the horse that had defeated
him a few days previously. The previous hackers
of the fence facing the track listening to the mu-
steal voice OF Tom Baker, the pool seller, wh0 no
doubt, felt in his bones when he Knocked the pools
down in favor of Everett Ray, even against the
field, that the Hopeful party who were looking at
hun were bent on robbery; but he, not having
on with the sales, and by the time the horses came
on the ground Everett Ray was understood to be
the winner beyond ysey
vantage of their knowledge by investing their
bottom dollar on their knowledge. Some gen.

cognized BY the National Association forever and
ever. This will prove lesson, we nope, to the
many vagabonds who prowl over t1s county rom a
their friends by fraud. The owner OF everett WIZ
not escape censure, although his horse trotted az
fact much better than 1t was expected he could
do after the Hopeful party had consented Ito
chuck the race"

Huntress, w. II. Allen and Gaxele. Five heats
