Enrared in the race were Empress, Breckinrldge and Harry Harris. The first heat was one of the prettiest races ever witnessed. The horses, Harry Harris and Breck inridge finished a dead heat, with Empress third. Time, 2:32. The second and final heat was where all the spIendor was darkened. The same horses Started and had made once around the track when. just as they passed the judges stand on the the tome stretch and turning the first quarter, Breckinridg slipped and over went the jockey like fall ing rocket. The horse fell and the sulky broke all t9 pieces. Right on Breckinridge's heels was Harry Har ris. He hit the first suIky and over went the second jockey, in like manner, The third horse, Empress, passed under the wire ard was de- clared the winner. The excitement. however that prevailed among the audience, tue bettors and the people around the judges stand, was long ln dying out. Breckinridge got his forehead cut and the jockeys seemed to be injured, but they were not The sulkies, however, are of no more use.
 The next race was the trotting. Tito. Lexing ton and Adam B enter ed and started Adam B won beat with Lexington second. Time, 220 The final heat of this race resulted in Adam B capturing first money with second and third money equal ly divided between Tito and Lex ington.

The officer, just as he was going to

to be a muskrat he set the trap for it,
placing it against the edge of the wall,
close to his bed. When he got up in the
