st. George was the favorite
against the field and the betting
was rather free. The past two
days experience had learned many
bcttcrs to take the field against the
lavorite and no difficulty was found
in getting bets taken. The three
days races resulted in the defeat of
almost every horse who was the
favorite before the start. The start
was good and the horses kept pref
ty we'll together to tho home stretch
where little Alice Vim took the
lead from st. George and came
nnder the string tho winner Of tho
race The other horses coming out
in the order in which they are
named above.
