Some little delay was occasioned
by a dispute as TO the position oi

were assigned their stations by the
Judges; but, on its being made TO

allowed to stand. This assigned
Confidence Company to the Inside,
the Anaheim Company second and
the 38. Oh ths outsid---a manifest
and most appreciable disadvantage
to the latter.
There was none OF the jockeying
at the start which accompanies u
half mile eqnine race. AT the
dropping of u flag the "boys" let

mistakable ability to maintain It,.

to get Into the rear aud stay there,
although they lab0reti ua,ier disad-
