falling in cataIacts he went to the secretaryS ONCE

Clarendon in the fifth race. Both are valuable and
promising cCl;s, and Mr.. Rowe did not wish to run
any risk of their slipping and wrenchng themselves
IN an unsafe track. But although the track was
heavy and slow in the afternoon il was not slippery
or unsafe and general regret expressed that the
Belmont colts had been Withdrawn. On their re-
cent public form both colts would have won their
races. and certainly the Select stakes were very wen
worth winning. other scratches made the field

three Cayuga, Drudess and starlight were from the
Morris stable. Onaway and Cayuga disputed the

carried about much money as The

in big blocks upon onaway with great freedom and
coincidence Cayuga would have been strong

starting both Drudcss and starlight looked upon
