and Tnrney Bros Bowen third. The time
was fast-l:gi for the seven furlangs. The
race was Il selling stake and the. winner

took advantage OF this to bid up Ampere
from S2oN. his entered price. to 81, $50. Mr..

Ampere carried top weight In the race.
lie was on none too well, but, being an
amazingly quick beginner. was soon among
the leaders. Tulia Fonso delayed the start
and had to be left. She is a very bad actor.
Tuskarosa, showing great speed. led up the
BACK stretch quite a distance. attended by
hiiee, Dandy Jim and Ampere. Bowen and
Blink, the two c~ontenders, were allowed to
drop out of the race by poor riding on the
part Of Rose and O'Neill. At the half-mile
Ampere went UP, followed by Hilee. and
took the lead away from Tuskarosa, who
quit to nothing. Bowen and Blink were last
around the stable turn and seemed to have
no chance on earth when they entered the
stretch. AT the stretch head Hilee threw
gamely. Hilee made so good a fight that
Harshberger. had to draw his whip and
let Ampere have a good lacirg.
The CAIN horse answered the bat fairly
well and came away. Bowen came down
the stretch like a wild horse. made great
gains. but could not quite reach Hilee.
Bowen was certainly running fastest at the
finish. Blink also came. like a tornado at
the end. While 1t is not probable that either
could have won 1t is quite certain that had
they been kept up they would ave made 1t
interesting Tor Anpere. This is especially
O'Nefll. The horse seemed to be In fine con-
dition. and he certainly finished stronger
than anything in the race. O'Neill had
every chance to ride the race right. He
was OF with Ampere, his only opponent,
and lay with him the first 100 yards, He
should have gone up with him, but instead
went to sleep.
Ampere won like q cracking good colt.
He is a wonderfully fast breaker, gets into
his stride in a jify: and looked like a horse

horse does when he runs under the bat. He

Silverdaie put up a marvellous perform

horse In a sprint. Silverdale and Ampere
would furnish q great race at six furlongs.
