heat, but Flag of Truce soon took it away
from him and kept it. After this, Oats was
out OF the market. He got distanced and
went to the barn. Flag of Truce had it all
his own way for first place in three straight
heats. Ranger and Lottie English
had some close skirmishing for
second. Ranger had great facility for
converting himself into straggler, and
was frequently a long distance in the rear.
But when the home-stretch would appear
in sight, he would do some of the gamest
and most fiery trotting imaginable, and
rush home in No. . position. lie would
be a good trotter with tirst-class driver.
The man who held the reins over him
yesterday had to be reprimanded by the
judges for yelling like lost Indian in one
heat, and in the next one he tore part of
the spokes out of wheel of the sulky
drawn by Flag of Truce. The result of the
race was; Flag of Truce, first; Ranger, sec
ond; Sirocco third. Time, 2:j0-2:4S- 2471.
THE MILE AND A HALF DASH.
This was the event of the
day, The entries were Bette Scott, Star
of the West and Jim Burke. Star of the
West drew the pole and held il till he har-
vested the persimmons. The start was q
pretty one. Star of the West showed to
the front, with Bette Scott and Jim Burke
at his flank The half mile was reached in
this position, when the leader left gap of
about length between him and the
other two horses. Bette and Jim flew along
neck and neck till the mile post was reach
ed, there apparently being not an inch of
extra space for either, and it looked very
much like dead heat for second place.
Just belor entering the home-stretch Jim
secured a slight advantage, and
all the jockeys began to apply the lash
for first position. But Star of the West was
not to be passed, and he went under the
string in all his glory, a length in front of
jim Burke, second; with Bette Scott at the
latter's heels, third. Time 2:I9.
This ended the days sport, and all who
witnessed it went away in pleasant frame
of mind, except those who had guessed
wrong in the pool selling.
