ful and holly contested race and the widest ex-
element prevailed. The horscs got of well, and
down the back stretch there was magnificent

at his heels and Blue Dick two lengths behind.

stretch Dick took the second place and on the
last quarter Tapped Winder. When they cameinsO
the home stretch IL was impossible to tell which
horse Of the two was ahead. They passed the
string neck and neck, with Dick just enough
ahead to give him the heat, Goldsborough and
Lou six lengths behind. There was much delay
In starting for the second heat as Dick could not
be brought 70 the line. His rider was thrown
four times and his trainer and others were
knocked down by his mad and unmanageahle
behavior. At last the start was effected and the

heat and race by lengths, distancing Colds
