fifty race, there were four contestants,
each of them good horses. The Cana
dian horse "Alice" seemed to be the
chief object of attack by the other driv-
ers i; she slipped in ahead, however, on
one heat. Starlight won this race. In
the two-forty race there were four
starting horses, two of them driven by
Canadians, and two by the Uttons. The
Canadians were worsted. The chief in
terest centered on the open-to-all race
IN which Oliver Twist, w. D. Hilton
and Drover Boy fercely contested.
"Jake' Hopkins took the sulkey behind
Twist. the Morrisville boys handled
Hilton and the Boy. TWAS two against
one, so far as the tricks OF the track
were concerned, and it took a long time
to get off for the first trial Twist
struck little the fastest gait and just
stole the pole from Hilton on the first
turn. From this time to the end of the
heat he kept entirely clear of his adver-
saries and came in 2:38 IL. The second
heat was similar to the first 1t became

tn Sd heat or the game was up. There
was not difference enough between Twist
and his two enemies to make mistake
on his part necessary. The two horses
that were following him were rushing on
to him as fast as possible, some of the
time on the run, and OF other times
making splendid bursts of speed. When
the heat was three-fourths completed,
Hilton made sharp gain and came
close up to Twists wheels. Either the
noise of Hilton or his driver frightened
Twist into break that "Jake" could
not settle for twenty rods in the mean
time Hilton and the Boy had gone
ahead, and though Twist came down
magnifcently he couldn't quite close
the gap, and lost the heat. The fourth
heat was a disaster for Twist, as ht
made very bad break anc
ran a hundred rods before h'
got his feet. If Hilton had been speed
ed in this heat to the end, Twist would
have been distanced. The fifth hea

excitement ran high. After considera
