ter Of a mile. Time, sos.

usual interval of twenty minutes the horses
were called up for the

yedr.oldS, for a silver goblet, value $50,
weller weights, gentlemen riders, and
was The eUeRt of the day. For that race

color wine.
After one Intellectual attempt the lorwas
dispatched on even terms, South Wales hay
ing the pole, Grace Darling second, and
Rosa Meadows outside. They ran punched
until they pissed the quarler-pole, here
South Wales and Grace Darling went to the
front, and from this point Rosa Meadows
was virtually out Of the race. The two first
named horses then ran locked for nearly half
a mile. 1t was a beautiful and exciting con-
test. Rounding the lower turn Grace OAR
ling got in front, and after galne struggle
won by length, Rosa Meadows third.
Time, 1:55.
Considering the weight carried and the
CONDITION of the track, which was very hard
and dusty, this was trst-rate time. 1t is
proper to add that Mr.. Ashburner claimed u
coop on the rider Of Grace Darling, and that
in the opinion Of many his claim was well
founded. The righlfnl authorities decided
otherwise, however, "a verdict which, SO far
as we could ascertain, gave general satisllc-
ton.
The THIRD RACE was for tandem teams, to
harness, single dash of five miles; premium,
500. For This race there were two entries-
j. \. McCiulrs bay team aud +. 7. Basss,
also bays. McCaull won the pole, and after
two lalsc starts they got of on fair terms.
This rae, was devoid Of interest. McCauIl
soon taking the track, was never headed, end
won as he liked. Time, 1922 So.
