ton secoud. After three attempts the horses
were sent otf from the three-quarter post. On
the first quarter Haddington led by very
little, Lottery third, but good one. On the
second quarter Haddington led, but on the
way to the half Belshaw took the front place
for moment. Before the three-quarter
post was reached Haddington had the others
behind. At the post Lottery attempted to
jump the pole railing. The mare was not in
condition to run could run no faster, and
sought to avoid the punishment of whip and
spur she was receiving. When she reached
point 200 yards from the score there was a
panel OF fence with but o single board, some.
thing less than three feet from the ground.
Lottery made break for this and went over
and through, springing high in the sir, but
catching the board and tearing it down. The
boy rider was shot into the air, and came
down head first into the soft earth of the
training track. In an instant he was on his
feet again. 1t was miraculou, escape, Not
one 10 thousand so falling would probably
have been SO lucky. The spectators cheered
with qualification as the youngster bounded
to his feet and ran after the mare. Hadding-
ton came in length ahead, Belshaw second.

half mile post they were as evenly
abreast as was possible. 1t was
the same to the first turn, and all going their
best. On the second turn May D. and Boots
went side by side, Night Hawk falling to the
rear. At the three.quarter post the situation
was the same. Down the home-stretch it was
an exciting run-one of the best races ever
seen on the Agricultural course. They came
toward the score at rafting pace, and SO
nearly even that no one could tell which of
the two led. just before the score the rider
of Boots put on the whip with lively hand,
