Whenthe horses returned TO the stand, both
the drivers Of Edwin Forrest and Lady Patter-
son entered complaints against each other. The
former charged that while moving up the back
track the driver Of Lady Patterson, being in the
lead, drew out into the middle Of the course, and
that he, the driver OF Edwin Forrest, seeing the
81 the opportunity. When the driver Of Lady
Patterson discovered that he was about losing
his position, he drew his horse TO the inside,
breaking him up. On the other hand, the driver
of Lady Patterson protested that Edwin Forrest
had done more running than tEotting n the heat,
entertained both complaints, and after dell0erat-
ing upon them, decided the heat In the order the
much better grace BY the drivers than BY the
audience, who thought It should have been
awarded to the sorrel mare, evidently not con-
hdering whether the driver Of Edwin Forrest
held tenable ground for his complaint or not; but
as they wanted the mare TO win the heat, they
seemed disposed to think that was the way It
satisfaction expressed was not q circumstance to
that ensuing on the announcement Of the de-
cision IN the next heat. While the subject was
being discussed, the time for rest expired, and
the horses were called for
THE THIRD HEAT.
Two attempts were requisite before they got
start, and then they moved on with Edwin For
rest frst, VIM. Penn second, and Lady Patter-
son third. These positions were maintained up
the back track, round the third quarter and into
the home, VIM. Penn acting badly all the way
through, totting y small stretches and then
first half mile, Lady Patterson led Edwin For
rest about head. In making the 1rst turn she
ter her driver without having the prescribed dis
lance, cut across the way Of Edwin Forrest, tenn
porarily shutting that horse out, compelling the
die Of the track. The action Of the driver WAS
apparent to the judges and spoken Of at the time
as being entirely wrong and rendering him liable
Patterson once more held the lead, Edwin For
rest coming behind few seconds, but being
pushed too far to hold HIS feet, consequently ne

remained still farther behind, evidently prefer

The driver Of Edwin Forrest here entered q
second complaint agai1st me driver OF Lady Pat

polling him to check Edwin Forrest and then go
round. This was the action that had been noticed
BY the Judges previous to the complaint being
entered, and upon which they intended to act
without the protest from the driver.
Hr. Ogden IN reply said that he could not beat
two drivers and would prefer to draw out and 20
to the stable. The second driver that interfered
must have been In his own Imagination, for the
the heat to be either dangerous as rival cause
trouble. The subject was taken under advise

General Smith announced the decision and the
causes that had produced 1t. For short time
There were also some who charged that
II was impossible for the mare to get fair show,
and eounseled her owners not 70 let her start
again. In this they showed both ignorance and
folly, for II the Judges erred there Is redress for
the owner in carrying the case TO the board Of ap-

to step down and out. It was such proceedings

allowed between heats for rest slipped BY, and
shortly after the decision was rendered the horses
were summoned to

The horses got away at the first trial, Edwin
Forrest leading, and William Penn and Lady
Patterson going out on even footing. On the
