won easily. In the last heat she was pulled
up inside of the distance stand, but never
thelesS lowered her record Time 21S3-
2:194-2:16l. The event of the day was the
successful attempt of Commodore kittson' S

speed, and the mark set promises TO stand
at the head Of the list for long time He
| was brought out and given warming-up

brought out, and the judges announced
! that they would be started about four
! lengths apart-not 70 pace against each
other, but each in IN attempt 10 beat his
own record, Richbalrs being 2:l2l. They
were given the word, both going fast and

but without falter, and steady as clock
work Those holding watches could
scarcely credit the tagging seconds, and at
the distance-stard the cry was. . He will
| beat pos There was no Stacking of his
speed to the wire and the mile was COM

driver. John Splan, were loudly cheered,
and Woodmansee, manager for Commodore

only succeeded in making 214. The clos
! ing event of the day was the attempt of the
| pacing mare Minnie f., hitched TO a

control, they are in a position to do vast

the defeat of the will of the majority OF the
people.
