an opportunity TO show their skill In the
saddle in the presence OF a thronR OF admlrinR
friends. who came from Virginia, Maryland
and New York in large numbers. The race,
from a speculative point OF view, was not
sitogether satisfactory, however, for s. p.
Enut's double entry. Twilight and Duke Of

matter they did not even 90 over the full
course Of about two miles and a half for the
reason that Twilight fell at the very first
iump and threw Mr.. Knut, while Duke Of
Grassland ran out soon after and was pulled
