flyer on the OUTLAWS" but did not go
very deep.
Sixteen penciers posted odds, and at
the close had lar the worst of it, five
favorites out of the six events winning
the money.
The track was quite dusty, and down
the chute very fast the circular course
being in nothing like as good condition.
Every race was well filled and very little
scratching was INDUCED in. The first race
furnished the largest Held Of the meeting,
thirteen going 10 the post.

race. He went up in the judges stand and
became so abusive that Judge Oyster or
