vorabe circumstances Four events were on the
card, the first being the July Stakes for two-year-
oids a cash OF three-quarters OF q mile; the sec
ond, iour mile dash /; the third, dash of a mile
and an eighth, and the fourth dash of mile and
half. The running was good in every instance,
and winners and losers had no fault TO dnd with

by Marsyes and L. A Hitchcock's chestnut
dlly lno. Mr.. Bemont's colt was the favorite IN
majority of the pools, Ino being the second
choice, CALVIN the third in favor. The latter cut
loose with the tap Of the drum and went away so
rapidly that he gained so much the first quarter OF
mile that 1t was Impossible for any Of the others
to evertake him, and he won very handuy Both
