she usual amount OF interest manifested in such
consests- The nrst OF these was q purse OF $780,
offered for horses that had never beaten eco, mile
heass, best three In ave, In harness. Entered for
snw were John Murphy's bay mare Lady
Pnfer, Mr.. McNamara's bay gelding Bay JACK
and y. p. Gilbert's black mare Black Dorrit
In the pools before the start Lady Pnfer
was the favorite, two to one, quite large amount
being invested at these rates. AT the fourth at
tempt the horses got away for the nrst heat on
even terms bnt soon as the word was given.
Bay Jack left feet and the length Of time 1t re-
CURED him to settle made 1t apparent to all that
his chances were hopeless for the heat Lady
Pnfer went on with the lead ana maintained it
until the half-mile pole was reached by half .
length but when that point was passed Mr..
Gilbert Dorrit to the front the easiest pos
sible manner; and. though Murphy did mis-
utmost to regain lost ground, Dornt kept
the wire half length the winner, smid many
expressions Of surprise. Bay JACK was dlsranced.
v IL a d the n as TINS Time
Drder OF the moment They got away the frst
time, and were neck and neck until the quarter
lnead, ana though Murphy with an effort sent
Pnier to the 'front.' Tor q second, she eft her leet
gone, IS Dorrit, seemingly without an enort came
along and won the heat oy one length. Paler
Dorm won the third heat and the race in the same
easy manner. although from the word 'go'' Lady
Pnier headed her one length until the three
out and she took the lead and maintained it TO the
end, gong under the wire one length in advance.

doubt that she viii make her mark among the
