Rough Tom. X. Wilson. This was the most
exciting and best race of the meeting, and
probably never beaten on this track. Buck
skin was the favorte III the pools all the
others selling about equal, probably the
reason Buckskin sold so well was because
Alex. I.aButf, of Grand Ronde, once had 4
fast horse called Buckskin, and We presume
some people are voting yet for General Jack
son. But this was n fine race, the horses got
off we'll and run for the money, and they all
came out very even; they kept their places
well and run straight, but the fayorlte III
this case, as in many others, didn't win.
