nent citizens brought their wives and daughters to

track precuded the possibility OF very fast time; ye:
the battle vastly appreciated and everybody salts
fed with the result Rarus the race in three
straight heats, two Of which marked 2:255S
and tho third 2321 The credit of trottng the fast

contestants and victory fell to the bay geldng Calmc
whose driver, John splan, also behind Rarus In
the first heat of the 'hirty word was given
by one judge and recall enormously made by the
other, which caused two OF the horses to proceed
around the track and three oil them to return. The
heat was given the first horse home ana the other
awarded second place. but the balance were not dis
tanced under the authority conferred by rule No 90
which provides for such emergency and gives
judges the power OF waving tho distance in such a
heat except for foul driving.
