continued to press Lady Star, pass
ing her at the third quarter, an,
holding the lead for a short distanc
when Lady Star again took the lead
Black Bob, at this point, after run
ming for some distance, came dow
to business and passed to the front

scene here was quite exciting, Lad.
| Star being pressed by her driver, ,bu
Black Bob maintained the lead,com
| ing in about half a length ahead
The judges, however, gave the heat
to Lady Star, on account Of Black
Bob's running. Time, 2:49.
| THIRD HEAT-Black Bob got 3
very poor start with Lady Star just
ahead, and she, before half a round
had been made, drew to the front.
But when the corner was turned
Black Bob settled down to business
heavy and came in q length ahead,
with Lady Star second-time 2:524.

from Thursday, were called.
FOURTH HEAT.-Lsdy Star, Black
Bob, and Dick Henry drew up in
line and got far start, Lady Star
leading the way with Dick Henry
at her heels and Black Bob in the
rear, Dick Henry, however, gradu
ally pressed to the front and led
Lady Star when passing the judges
stand on the first round. Black
Bob then got down to his work and
shortened the distance amazingly
between the others, but not enough
to change the relation, he coming in
third, with Dick Henry slightly in
advance Of Lady Star. Time, 2.57.
FIFTH HEAF.-The horses got of
well together, and there was some
splendid trotting, the horses pressing
each other closely. Black Bob drew

RUNNING RACE.
THE FIFTH heat of the running
race being called, the horses we're
brought to the front, and getting off
made a splendid dash, the Wagner
mare obtaining the lead and coming
in first, with Trustee second, Riley
third, Lady Gilmore fourth and
Bonnie Scotland fifth.
SIXTH HEAT.-The horses got of,
Riley in the lead, pressed by Bonnie
Scotland who passed him and lead
easily to the turn on the home
stretch, when the rider of. Riley ap-
piled the whip freely, bringing him
up to the front and passing the
judges stand slightly in advance Of
Bonnie Scotland-time 55. This
closed the race, which was given to
Riley, Bonnie Scotland taking sec
ond money.
The close of the race was very en-
thusiastic, and loud and continued
cheering greeted the close, Riley ap-
pearing to be a general favorite-
FOOT RACE.
Next in order was a foot race, so
rods, but by mutual consent it was
made 40 rods for Sc and 81. There
were FIVE entries, but only three
started, namely: W. West, Reuben
Miller and Ed. Robinson. The boys
were neatly attired in running cos
tune, and were not long in getting
in place-A good start was effected,
though West slightly lead, bat al-
lowing Miller to catch up, the race,
about half the distance, lay between
the two, snd very pl'ettily they ran
together, even to the scratch, where
there wss not over six inches be
tween them-West having the ad-
vantage. We feel satisfied the boys
have stepped it together before, but
wherever they may meet in the ring
a splendid contest may be relied up
on.
