QUEER BETTING.

The third race was very funny betting
affair. First Joyeuse and then o'Hearn
mad the call. their prices going from even
money up to to /. with surprising quick
ness. When they went to the post O'Hearn
was fsvoritc at even money with Joyeuse
at 3 to 2.
Before they were off, however. il was
just the opposite: Joyeuse had the call and
o'Hearn was l 2 to l chance.
Joyeuse beat the flag and was never
caught. winning pulled up by five lengths
from O'IIearn, with Annie T. third.
Notwithstanding the fact that Herndon
had been pulled every time he started for
the past month the books made him a hot
favorite. He justified the betting by GO
ing out in the van and winning all the way
from Dorcas l.. with Peter Jackson third.
Both Johnny and Harry Keister were
heavily played in the fifth race, the former
closing at even mon ey, W ith Kcistcr at3 to /.
Pattic made the running until well into
the stretch, where Johnny went to the
front and won somewhat cleycrly from
Humming Bird, with Keister third.
The closing race furnished pretty head
finish between Vent and Grand PriN.
Grand PriX, who was the favorte, cut
out the running aud was only beaten in the
last jump by Vent. Founding was a good
third, a length away.
