the Isonomys the Harry Bassetts, the Spend

| trying all the year to outrun him. He has
ceeded. But it was the eight Crckmore that de-
feated Hndoo. This is said to detract Crck-
mores merit He is horse of high class. But Hin
doc has shown himself many times plainly his superior

cause he had twelve pounds his back than Crck
more had 1t must be a very extraordinary race-hOrse
that can give much weight to such animal Crck
more. Possibly Hndoo could have done it a few weeks
| ago, but Crlckmore has improved since then. 1t
