riages
The handicaps ranged from one to
eleven minutes. The course was from
Guthrie's road on the caussway to New
Castle aud back. --The start was not very
exciting on account of the handicaps, but
the big crowd encouraged the riders as

Harrison have agreed upon division OF

heretofore, for the same simple reason
that sugar aud qninine cost loss; the

Irvine from 2 cents pound to . z OF a
