1t was las o'clock when the bugle

He was badly cut in the mock, but ran a
grand race in spite of it. Afser long
delay at the post, in which there were
several breakaways, the red flag of the

leading Formal. A blanket would have
covered all four horses, but as ear ly as
that it could be seen that Requital was
the strongest. Silver IL was running

sixth in spite of his injured leg, but he
was not striding true and was far from
being the great colt who disposed OF his
opponents so easily in the spring. APP

hung on. Handspring's white nose was
not far behind, in fourth place. Formal
was there too, and Silver H. Hastings
and Applegate hanging on like grim
death.
The squadron Strengthened out for the
quarter-milc dash, but it was badly dis

In the first race there was some brisk
netting, Religion being the favorite.
HANSON won easily, while Religion could
do no better than second.
Domino was an odds on favorite IN the
second event. The long delay at the post
