then Clerk Adams, OF the Municipal
Court. came along, and being of the
horse horsey, began lauding the merits
of his own driver. It was agreed that
the four men and four horses fight it
out ON the race track. Accordingly
they made their first appearance on the
turf last evening. Clerk Adams had
some trouble in getting his horse to
score, but finally the word was given
and they we're off on the mile heat. 1t
was a loose and rambling race from
start to finish. Dams" horse finished
an eighth of a mile ahead of Wiggles-
worth; Oliver came in two lengths be-
hind Wigglesworth and Clerk Adams
was only half way round the half-mile
track on the second lap when Collins
horse passed under the wire.
Collins favorite driver finished in
3.37; WiggleswOrth's horse made the
mile in $50; Oliver did it in 1852, and
