Arcola finished far in the lead, but it was
seen that Mr.. Hall was not driving his
horse in the stretch, He came round to
the judges and complained that when he
got to the turn. which cannot be plainly
seen from the judges stand, Mr.. Nc
Carthy had driven in front of him, cut
ting him out of the race. Mr.. Mccarthy
was called and his side of the story told.
