society The weather was charming. and tho track in
better condition than any previous day Of the re-
nnon Four events were the card for the wind up,

Freebooter the favorte over the field. After
few unsuccessful attempts the start a unfor
lunate one, as Freebooter sent away with such
commanding lead that was impossible for any of the
others TO overtake him. He led around the upper
turn by half a lengths Danville second, Fraud

the back and the horses passed the hafmilc
pole previously noted There very little inter-
IN the after this

be overtaken. He came home winner by
three lengths in lao Fraud was second May d.
third, Lulu B. fourth. Portland fifth, Hobkirk sixth,
Danvillc seventh Romney eighth and Lady Veto ninth.
