Great Yorkshire handicap a. DOncaSter. In
1859 Starke won the GoOdwood stakes and
In 1861 the GOOdwoOd cup and the Brighton
stakes. In 1861 Optimist won the Ascot
STAKES. And was not Umpire an American
morse? Memory seems to answer IN the af-
hrmative, and to add that after having won
the Nursery stakes AT GoOiwOod in 1859, he

that there could be 10 recovery against the

II Is here argued that the Board OF Public
Works was amenable to the District and sub

except TO The District for the manner in
which IL performed Its duties. The District
taxed Its citizens To pay for the repair of the
