street, distance of two miles. 1t was al

Rose and AIdine, while Work drove Dick
Swiveller and Edward. The betting was

pieces Of machinery. Approaching the
half mile post Jay Eye See drew up even
with his antagonist. at the hill,
fifty yards from the three-quarter
post Jay Eye See, broke, but for two skips
only, and Immediately settled down te
work again and rapidly overhauled st.

heat and Bonner had to call on the crowd
for silence. On entering the home stretch
Jay Eye See was again at st. Julien's
wheel, but Hickok crowded him little out
into deep mud, at the same time keeping
st. Julien on the hard track. The struggle
down the straight was grand. Jay Eye See
gaining at every stride. Fifty yards from

and trotted SO rapidly that he reached ST.
Julien's withers abreast the half mile post
