test.
Professor Price made successful balloon
ascension, and jumped from his air-ship at
hight of about 500 feet. He shot through
space with Iightning-like rapidity for
about 800 feet, when his parachute opened
and the force of his downward flight was
very much lessened.
The first race on the programme was
pacing race, best three in five, between Sam
Lewis, Prince and Frenchy. They got off
well together but Frenchy went off his
pins at the first turn and again on the back
stretch, so bis driver had to pull him down
to a slow walk before he could get him
down to his work and the result was he
was distanced. Sam Lewis and Prince
made very pretty trot down the stretch,
with Prince in the lead and Lewis tapping
his wheel. and came in winner in 237.
The pools sold at $40 for Prince, $5 for
Lewis and So for Frenchy. After the heat
they sold for $40 for Prince, against So for
Lewis.

well, and the little brown gelding took the
lead from the start and maintained his
position to the outcome, winning the heat
bv nearly distance. Time, 2:39

The PAGERS were then called up for a
final heat, which Prince won easily, being
given the heat and race. Time, 2:32
The second heat OF the trot was called,
and they got good start but Oneida S.
soon took the lead, and kept her position
to the outcome, with the Others close up
and in a bundle. Nevada was second,
Diana third, Rosa NJ. fourth, and Alpha
fifth. Time. 1891.
The third heat came up, but not until
Rosa NJ. had been withdrawn, on account
of lameness. After scoring several times
they got off well together, but Oneida S.
soon forged to the front, and kept her posi-.
tion to the end, winning the race. Time,
2:354.
The great race between the PAGERS and
Victor came next, and after repeated scor-
ing they got off well together. Edwin C.
soon took the lead, and maintained his po-
sition to the last with Victor close to his
wheel, and Little Hope nearly distance
behind. Time, 2:30l.
