Light ovcrcoats were In demand. The
grounds never looked prettier, and there
was only one draw back-the track was not

In few strides Huron and His Highness
were on even terms. running like team

Belle. The excitement now was painful IN
its intensity. Right opposite the stand the
struggle commenced in earnest. Overton
was riding Huron like a demon and the
