The concluding event was green
race for horses that had never start
ed, and was remarkable for the fast
time made by the winner, Aparka,
who won in straight heats best 3 In 5.
He was not much pushed to win the
frst two heats, leading almost from
the start, but in the last he was COM
PEELED to do his best, only succeeding
after q hard finish. Considering the
character of the contest, none of the
| horses having raced before, the time
was extraordinarily fast. Summary:
