Many expressions of regret We're heard
at Wvman Park on the Fourth because of
the wit thdrawal of f. X. Hopkins s "Black
Prince" entered in the 2.35 class. The
prince" was taken sick the day before
the Fourth, and for time Mr.. Hopkins
thought he would lose him. He has now
entirely recovered. There was no truth
in he report circulated at he track that
the horse had wrenched his shoulder
while being speeded the day before. Had
'Black Prince" been in condition to trot.
the race would undoubtedly have been
more exciting and 'Ninal Haven may
not have had so easy victory
