and Hamburg out in front. They set
! a rafting pace at the, outset, and soon
| opened a gap of ten lengths on Previ-
Gus, while Gala Day was a furlong be-
! hind, in short order. Up tie hill they
| rushed like a team, but before they
had reached the summit Hamburg was
done to a turn. Then Previous set sail
for the flying Bowling Brock, and for a
few secnods it looked as if he might
overhaul, the leader. 1t was useless
chase, for Littlefield let out a link,
and it. was all over. Bowling Brook
crossed the line half a dozen lengths
