49i seconds. A foul was claimed by
the Machado stable, and allowed by the
judges, Charley David being given the
race, Bachelor, second money.
The second raoo was also running,

victory for Albert c. in 2;47, Jennie G.
having evidently been held up on the
home stretch, which was proved by
Jennie G. winning the two following
heats, the race being two in three, with
out exertion, in 2;45l md 2;46t respect
lively. In both Of the running races the
favorites won. The pools sold were
very heavy, as was the pool box lit
orally.
The ladies' fifteen.rnile race was next
in order, but proved to be diastrous.
The contestants, Mrs. Isabel Blacklaw
and Miss Pearl Lester, started off
promptly, but during the fourth mile
Mrs. Blacklaw tainted and would have
fallen from her horse had she not been
caught by gentleman standing near.
1t was undoubtedly the result of the
heat, which was intense. As the sufferer
did not deem it wise to continue the

mainder of the distance, winning in one
hour and forty-fve minutes.
