'Yaller" streak in him failed to crop out.
The stable, it is said, was very afraid of the
proves of Van Ness imported mare
Elsie, and played very little money on
Stratford's sneedY son.
Imported Empire, an Australian horse,
and Hanfora were the surprises of the
day, both winning at very remuneratiVe
odds.

peared to be cinch. in the second race. a
short -six-furlong sprint Steadfast. with
