field in the next races. Any number was

fore the race that Monroe had very sore
mouth and hoof, and he was doubtful about
the result. This accounts probably for his
numerous bad breaks which lost him the
race. Brister has a record OF 317az The

to the hall, when she broke and Monroe,
who had come up from third at the quarter
to second at the haE forged into first place.
The stallion showed great speed on the home

that matter. was the most remarkable fin

In the fourth and last heat Brister, as usual,

he went off his feet. The crowd gave it up,
and started for the train. Brister made q
grand effort on the homestretch, but he had
