esnable account Mr.. Belmont and his trainer made
no secret Of the fact that Racend work in the last
few days had been satisfactory and tM their friends
that they expected the famous gelding 70 win.
The followers Of the Belmont Stable plunged
on Raccland. At the opening Of the betting

fines Of civilization two or three audacious adventurous

all we'll backed for the place. while nobody gave Ice
berg the attention Of a passing thought. Race
land was fully himself again, and won IN his Own
former fashion, without heat, haste hurry, Just as
he liked in truth. Captain Brown was at the track
Probably he and his trainer Rogers, are as completely
dsguntied with COvngtons recent riding as the race

engaged to ride Buddhist and rode him WELL getting
second place with him by head from Tristan.
