friends supported them with much
confidence. For the first heat con-
siderable difficulty was experienced in

monds. Bob Molloy, at the first
ao aaITtsGF, had RotwooG Foo; good deal Of

at the tail of the list But he sprung ahead

drum both horses dashed for
ward under the string, the
steed with the hardwood name springing
alittle quicker than the racer that responds
to the call of the gamester's pet device. II
was magnificent exhibition. They ran
along nearly in Siamese twin position, till
tne three-quarter pole was reached, when
Hickory Jim gradually drew away, and
was able coming down the home stretch TO
throw the dust in the eyes of tho Ace of
Diamonds. The latter was given the whip
and spur vigorously but he couldn t.respond
sufficiently for success, and the horse with
the hard wood name won the heat and race.
