glare of the sun it may bave been a
tribe too warm for absolute enjoyment,

comfortable. The track was fast. When

people were present, including many
ladies. The talent pinned their faith to

Jumps of weight to aged horses, and, al
though he finished in third place, he
was not ten inches from the winner.
The time was the fastest ever run on
the track and within two seconds of the

others, who were beautifully punched.

ing into the stretch was OH even terms
with the Scoggan horse. OImie, who in
the meantime had fallen back, began to
move up rapidly, as also did King

most exciting finishes ever witnessed
on this course for years. AT the
sixteenth pole the entire field was
strung across the track in almost per-
feet alignment. A few jumps from
home Business began to forge ahead,
and passed under the wire a nose be-
fore Atticus, who was a nose before
