choices landed the purses.

standpoint was the last, when Blizzard and
Cheddar met. The latter was ut odds on all
the time. aud Blizzard huctuuted from 2 to

Blizzard, who showed that ha was in
difficulty and dropped back. Uncle jim
then moved up with astonishing speei and
closed rapidly on CEedi Ear. In a driving
( flash the latter snatched the victory by a
nose. May e. was a Tad third.

tired in the heavy going. and Sonora beat him
handily. The summarizes:
