stakes. The race only had three starters in
it, and Come-to-Taw, with Isaac Murphy
up, won rather handily, while the once
great Proctor Knott, carrying only ITO

whipped from the eighth pole to the wire to
beat out Long Fish, but could get no nearer
than length to him, having to be content
with the last place in the race.

favorites being dumped in all but the third
