At the first few sales at the pool box BouIi
was the ~favorite, but the call soon turnet
largely in favor OF Turf Gallery. Grizzl,
sold away down. Some of the boys fel
heavily on this race. The judges being in
formed that the rider of Boulis was 10 pound
overweight; ordered another and lighter ride
on the mare, which change, probably, savet
the hackers of Boulls from a fall; for thu

-2:5C class-for a purse Of $500, of which
$500 went to first horse, SIS to second and
$25 to third. Nile heats, best 3 in 5. For
this race the following were the starters:
NJ. McGuirk's s f Fannie Patchen, 5 years,
by Clark C~bief-Fayette Mambrino.
Sam SCOTS b G ST. Thomas, aged, by Live
Oak-unknown.
George Benjamih's d 6 Smokey, aged, M
known.
st. Thomas led at the pool box, and even
after Patchen won the first heat, SO strong
was the faith of his hackers in his superior
speed and staying qualities That he still had
the call. Fannie took the first heat and
passed under the wire in the lead in the Sec
ond, but the judges being under the impress
sion that st. Thomas was ''chucked, - declared
the heat off and put a new driver up behind
him. While this showed that the judges did
not propose that foul driving, should
win or lose a race, it did not save
the horse in this instance. The Bozeman
mare proved too fleet for the Deer Lodge
holse and she took the two remaining heats
with ease. Tie following is the score
Fannie Patchen.

Some little fault was found with the judges
decision in declaring the second heat of the
last race oil, yet if they erred at all it was an
error OF the head and not Of the heart. They
were determined, that as far as laid in their
