length in $50. The second heat was
the finest, we think, we ever saw hotted.
Dick for the first half mile seemed In
clined to shake off his company, but An
ME stuck to him like jealous sweet
heart. She acted badly, leaving her
feet whenever she pleased, until they
cot on the back stretch of the last halt
mile. Dick was perhaps four lengths
ahead of her, when she shot out with a
burst of speed that brought expressions
of delight from veteran turfnent,passing
Dick as easily as if he had been tied to
the fence, winning the heat in 2;31.
Annie now had the inside and the track
was essentially done, fol- Dick never got
an opportunity to challenge her for her
place until the race was ended, Annie
winning the last two heats and the race
in 2;30 and $50 l-2
The running race was between Il. &
w. Davis Allie Hunt, r. Powelrs
SkirmiSher, and Mr.. Aschert's Harka-
way, mile heats, three in FIVE. 1t was
GENERALLY conceded that the others had
no chance against Alize for the race, so
the contest was between Skirmisher
and llarkaway for the second money.
Skirmisher did not act as vigorously
and with rs much life as we have seen
him, while llarkaway was full of spirit
and fire. After good deal of trouble
the horses got away in good shape.
Harkaway rushed TO the front ut once,
closely followed by Skirmisher, Allie
taking things easy in the rear They
held these positions until they came up
for the second half mile, when few
long strides brought Allie to the front,
and held this place to the end of the
heat. The struggle between the other
two for the second place was glorious,
but the gallant sorrel was too fast fol-
Skirmisher, who came in third Time
of her heat 1;5l 81.
The second heat was duplicate Of
the first, Allie trailing along under
strong pull, and taking the front when
ever he wanted to, lIarkaway won the
second money. Time, 1;l9 81
There was scrub race between a
horse called Lights horse, and Irish
Girl, which was taken by the former
with apparent ease.
