S45 and SO There was a bothersome DELAY
in starting. The horses did not reach the
track On tine, and when there the youth who
was employed to post the positions on ths
bulletin board found that while he had
brought bis memory with him, he, bad left
the cards fer the bulletin board behind. Toe
result Was that the people had to rely on
President La Rue's yoics and ths official
programme announcement of colors worn by
the jockeys. This official progrf mme, by the
way, is very useful affair. 1t is admirably
printed, is on heavy card beard tinted with
petty vignette snd the information on it is
vers full and complete. 1t is what has been
needed and decided step in advance. From
it one can learn all about the age. pedigree,
ekey, colors, etc., of every horse ii each
race.
After three trials the 1rses got eff nicely.

close struggle between the two. At one time

the lead from Maria, who had gained it at the

gallant contest but Precious was too much
for Maria, who fell eff badly. and the Duke
