Fourth Race.
The Jour-yeay-old district trot looked a
moral for Almonition, but he acted very |
badly. and AnteeO- Richmond won the first |
two heats In q jog in 40 and 80; aud the |
talent plunged in the poolbox like madmen |
to hedge out the money they had put in on |
tho black horse. The third heat gave them |
another electric shock, as the gray colt |
tired to break and AlmonitioD won easily |
In 2:32. |

heaviest spectators had got the double |

favorte for $40 against $50. In the fourth |
heat Anteeo- Richmond tired to nothing and |
broke all up, Almontion winning in 10 |
lengths. slowing up In 1885, A rush was
