THE SPECIAL RACE.

quite muddy, so that the horses were all
driven to the outside of the track, and IN
fact goodly portion of the mile had to be
driven at distance from the pole. The
horses were sent off with Hancock and
Capt. Herod on nearly even terms
and Pedro about a length in the rear.
Gen. Hancock at the first turn
pushed forward with Herod second and
Pedro last. Hancock settled down to
business, and Herod did his best, but Pedro
acted badly again. He went into the air
on the first turn, and before he could be
brought down again the other two animals
were $50 yards in the lead. Throughout
the heat Hancock was not headed, although
his wheel was Tapped twice, coming down
the home stretch. TIE horses all behaved
we'll until within 100 yards of the wire,
when Pedro, who had regained his lost
ground, and was pushing vigorously for
the first place, went into the air. Hancock
was too sure footed for him. Pedro broke
badly, and Hancock won the heat and
race, with Herod second, and Pedro
third. Time, 2:34.

opinion that Gray Dan was being too
