dropped goodly amount of cash on the result.
The day was cold and stormy, and Phalas did not

also seemed lame, although this was hardly per-
ceptible at the start. Wilkes however, seemed in
perfect condition, and in all the practice work
never left his feet The track was in fair condi-
tion when they came out, but grew little slippery
under the steady fall of rain during the practice
work and scoring. After four scores, in two Of
which Phallas broke before reaching the wire, the
horses went away for their first heat. The pools
were now selling,-WillxeS at $50, Phallas $40.
When the horses went away they were neck and

as has been seen on the track for many day.
Wilkes won by an open length in 2.1714
The start in the second heat was even. but
Phallas could not stay on the ground He broke
badly at the first eighth post and came down a
length and half behind. At times Phallas trotted
grandly and seemed likely to overhaul Wilkes,
but on each occasion, when he seemed about to
take the lead, he broke badly and fell behind.
Wilkes logged home in 220A.
In the third and last heat Wilkes had nose the
best of Phallas who broke. He caught his feet
however and hustled Harry to the quarter in 34s4
Many now expected to see Phallas win the heat.
He was out-trotting Wilkes, but between the
quarter and half posts he broke twice. Each time
Bithers caught him we'll, and on the further
stretch he again showed speed. 1t looked like 2

such hopes by again leaving his feet, and Wilkes
logged under the wire in 2.191a.
