had good effect among the racingloving people,
and it was the universal talk among them at the
course that the association must flourish II they
continue to carry out the course pursued yes

won her race very easily, beating Mr. p Lorillards
Pique and Mr. Taylors Pilot. The jockey of Pique
made complaint to the judges of being fouled by
Una, but after a thorough investigation by the
Judges the charge was dismissed. The fllies came

in the excellent time of $685.. which made him
many strong hackers and he sold in the pools close
up to Daniche the favorite. Louanier the third in
favor. This was a capital throughout. and for
a mile and half Loulanier looked all over winner.
