NAMED during the rest of the racing
The snort was not go good "a has been wit
messed on previous days. for the track was hard
and lumpy and with the exception of one race
the fayorites had IL all their own way, and were
easy winners.

following starters:
Benny, entered by VIM. Cottrill.
George q, entered by Rrien h Spencer.
Kitty Hawk entered by Jas. aurget.
La Perohole. entered by Jas. sureet
Bessie Davis. entered by Barley b Higgins.
Miss Blanche, entered by Barley 4 Huagins
There was very little interest manifested In the
event and the contest proved to be A tame one.
II was difficult to see the start or to judge of
the position of the animals after II was made.
on the 9th trial and II was only after they had
turned INTO the home.stretch that.it was seen
that Miss Blanche was leading but 1t was I'm.
possible to cay who held the next plaoe.

second, Kitty Hawk close NJ "a number three,
and Bessie Davis and George g., respectively,

Barkley h Hueeins enter L Argenteen.
Mike Welsh enters Mollie Hart.
G Il Morris ct ters Frank Short,
g. b, Morris enters Turin.
Barnes A Weat enter Gabriel.
In the uool GALES LArgenteen was the fovor
lite by large odds. and the. certainty 1hat she
would be an sasy winner detracted oonsidera
bly, from the interest which would have other
wee been felt In the event.
The result proved that the popular Judgment
was correct. L'Argepteen took the lead at the
start and kept It easilY until the three. quarter
poet was struck, when her rider pulled her up
and allowed Gabriel te shove ahead She waa,
however, given rein again. and again went to
the front with ease. The other animals changed
positions several times, but as the changes
were made without any extra display Of speed,
or creating any excitement or enthusiasm, II Ia
only necessary to place them as they came In,
which they did In the following order: After
IArgenteen, Gabriel, Mollie Hart, Frank Short
and Turin. The time Of the race was 2olh.
