heat VAS given to Van H-luoat Oh account
OF The breaks made by Resoluse. There

behind. This time Rcsoluse broke only
thrs times, and 20 held ihe heat, though
Eivxrds, Van Helmout'. driver, made son,e
kick about it, Ths third heat resulted the
same ~ the two first, bat Resoiute broke
four or Eve times AID tho decision vas
agsin against him. Haines. the driver,
claimed that Edwards, by his bowling AID
other mat &c ivfes, broke his morse up. and
that he siso did sumo other things that were
not straight. He therefore drew his horse
from the rsc', and aft~r Edwards had gone
through with the formslity OF driving slow
mile, the race ended. There was . good
deal of dissatisfacti3n expressed At the
action Of the judges. Uu,il the retirement
of Resoluts the race vas one Of the most
txcitiD z seen IN the State This year, and the
beet time made was faster than anything
