A Bakers Dozen Of BOOkies LOST
TO the Talent at the island.
JOY OVER THE LEGAL VICTORY
Congratulations Over the Result of the In
junction Proceedings at Richmcad-Eour
stra ghout Favorites and Heavily
Played Second Choice Landed the Purses
Paragon Won Although He Was Lame

The spectators at the Old Dominion race
track were quite as much Interested in the
proceedings ut Richmond as they were in the
races being run oil yesterday. The rejoicing
was general when it became known that
everything was going he way OF the assoeia-
tion, aud smiles were upon everybody's face.
Thirteen bookmakers chalked up odds on
the races, and the number proved unlucky,
as all the winners carried the money of the
talent Halcyon cantered home in the first
event, and Paragon was the next favoriie to
win. In this race Benjamin would likely
have won had he not stumbled badly in the
stretch. He had closed up with Paragon and
Grampian, and was going well when he lost
his footing
Lura had little trouble in beating Classic,
and Leigh galloped home at the rare price
for Alexander Island of l to 4. Fredericks
