he WAS on THE

STAND was occupied Iof LnlS OCCASION Dy
j. w. Russell, Esq, OF Columbus, who
acted as starter, and in that position gave
more general satisfaction than there has
been at any other time during the week,
and Philo L. Kimberly and Hon. N. B.
Scott, who acted as judges, while "Doc"
9Ioffat held the watch.
The first race on the programme was the
one for the 2:40 class. There were nine
nominations but only four Of them an
swered 10 the call. In the draw for posi-.
tions Inthie secured the pole aud the 9TH
ers were in the order named: F. A.
Kirby, Maude A. and Prince Harold.
The abseutees we're: Surveyor, Johnny
G., Starlight, Merry and Harry o. Mid
night. In the pools Inthie was the favor
ite, but the field sold even up as fast as
they could be auctioned OF. In q few
pools kirby was the favorite. The word
was given at the first Ecore, which was q
beautiful one, the four being in perfect
straight line. After getting around the
turn Inthie pulled ahead slowly but
steadily, aud crossed the line in 2;41.
A[utuals paid 81 20. Kirby acted badly in
this heat, and, as on Wednesday, there
began to be complaint about his driver.
Inthie, as matter OF course, was still q
fIvorite, while the field dropped a few
points. The horses were sent on the third
Ecore, another fair and elegant start being
had. The heat was apretty one all trotted
evenly and steadily except Kirby, who be-
haved badly again. 1nthie herd the pole
to the finish, but she had 10 work for it
hard, as the Prince crowded her closely
nearly all the way, and was only neck
behind when the mare crossed in 2:37.
This heat served to warm the crowd up
andthe exciting finish was loudly cheered.
Paris Mutuals paid 81 10.
The cheering that marked the close OF
this warm heat had hardly died away
before the judges announced that Stanley.
the driver OF Kirby, had been ruled of
for jockeying. The horse was turned
over to Ol. Eisman and Officer Brooks
sent to watch the animal while in the

ed. II was claimed on Wednesday that
Stanley was pulling his horse and that he

the third heat was called Eisman sent
word that he must have pair OF. weights
TO enable him to drive SO as to get anything
out OF the chestnut. Stanley had been
driven without weights. It was claimed
by some Kirby had been wearing weigts all
the season. The judges ordered Stanley to
produce the weights; he claimed to have

except Kirby, but as Eisman nodded for
