who rode Devisee. acted very badly. spelling
several good breaks, and was fined 500.
In the second event vignes refused to break
with Speed West and when called to account

After spelling several breaks he was called
up and set downfor five months.
Zeller had the "brakes on Cadet just as
hard as he knew how and an "investiga
ton, which, however did not have anyprac-
teal results, followed the race.
Yetter adopted the pulling-up tactics
to kill Forests chances in the fourth race,
and was set down indefinitely for his
pains.
The sport was fairly good, only two fin
tshes. those in the second and fourth races,
being close. Seventeen gentlemen of
odds put up their states, and had quite busy
day The surprise of the day was Fox
Glove. who managed to land the second
race at odds OF 40 to /.
The talent received a blow right be-
tween the eyes in the first event Devisee
and Poor Jonathan closed equal favor
ties at to 2. with Apprentice next in
demand at skies.
When it came to racing they were none
OF them III the hunt. Annie t., to l
shot, winning cieyeriy by half length
before Devisee, who was three in front
of Miss B.ss.
Jim Mclaughlin was made a fayorite in
the second race, going to the post at odds
of Il to 10. or the others By Jove was
most fancied having second call at fours.
Cassidy got them lined up well and sent
them off in good order, with the exception
of Speed West. who was left standing at
the post, but by no fault of the starters.
