1t was great day for bunny yesterday
at Agricultural park for out of the jacks
which ran for their lives several made
good escapes. One among the hares is
an old stager which has escaped seven
times since being at the park. The
weather was perfect, it being a pleasure
to simply be out of doors, and as con-
sequence the crowd was large and the
grand stand full to the top seat During
the week the tank house in the infied
has been removed, which gives a much
better view of the courslng. The purse
yesterday was a consolation stake, the
dogs which We're entered never having
won first, second or third money, and
there was some very good sport.

that Prince Hooker would win even with
the handicap. In the first two miles the
horse had gained, and in the third mile
he passed the bicycle, while the excite
ment rose to fever heat. In the fourth
mile the horse took the lead and kept it,
winning by two good lengths in 11:9,
while the crowd cheered itself hoarse
This is the best time that has been made
Hackney says that no bicycle or horse
in town can beat Prince Hooker, and it
looks as IL he was right, although the
boys say they will not give up until they
make a winning.
