I silver models of steamboats,, gunboats,
machinery, &c, died at his residence in

given couple Of easy miles in about go,

against his record of 2l24. He looked in
magnificent form as he appeared on the
track, driven by Goldsmith. He was ac-

Andy Mcdowell.
In the third score Goldsmith nodded his
head and the great horse was dispatched
on the journey to which he was destined
to beat Father Time. The pace to the
eighth was somewhat slow for Stamboul,
as he is prone to 60 on the first quarter
very fast. Goldsmith, however, took
gentle pull on him, and the head of the
stretch was passed in 10 seconds. Around
the quarter the clip was even slower,
watches at that point showing 30 seconds.
When well Strengthened out on the back

anxious to fully extend himself. Gold
