Tho first race on the programme was
the post stake, two mile dish, for a
purse Of $50. Two runners started,

There was deeper iniercat manifested
IN this race than any that has ye.
taken place at toe association meeting.
aud more moaey changed hands on
the result than ON any previous race.
Belle Barley was known To be yerv
fast nag, and WAS In prime condition,
while George Quinine has a reputation
equal to any southern race horse.
Last spring, at New Orleans. he won
the three and four mile r9ees over a
large field OF horses. Since his arrival
here, and while taking exercise, he
went lame in his left fore leg. Mr..
Spencer, one Of his owners, was doubt
fll about the leg, but it was thought
he could pull through the race with
out letting down, or else lls owrer
would never have consented for hlrs

When the drum was tapped Belle
jumped half length to the front, aud
thus they ran around to thu first urn,
both under pull. The next half mile
Belle increased the gap 10 short
length, and in this position they passed
the Judges stand, the first mile.
Around the first turn on tie second

on entering the last half mile. Here
both riders called on their horses, and
they nobly responded. But even at

When the horse came back to the
stand II was discovered that Quinine
had let down In his left foYeleg. This
discovery deeply affected Mr.. Spencer,
and he could not suppress his tears.
The breaking down Of the pride Of his
stables is severe blow to him, and he
had the sympathy of all the horsemen
present.

stake Race
The mile-and-a-half dash had two
starters, Bayland and Ella Rowett.
These two had met last week, Rowett
being the winner, and il was looked
upon as ioregone conclusion that she
would win this tima. Pool selling,
therefore, was light, the betting frater-
nifty being afraid to back I3syland to
any great extent. Pools sold 81 to 81,
81 to 2, in favor of Eoweit.
A good start was made and BayIand
ran ahead for the first quarter. Rowett
there csught up, and for the next half
mile they ran side by side, passing the
judges stand at "a climbing pace. Round
the turn they ran, and when opposite
the stable Rowett poked her nose in
front. Al the three quarter distance
she was a length la advance. She
gained from that point and passed un.
