II had been advertised that "MeP' Sheppard

they declined the issue, thereby leaving Lee
alone on the mark of honor.
From the outset Lee set a killing pace
travelling so fast that two laps from nome
he had moved into second place. The ohy
man I'm front of him then was r. J. Sweeney
a Pastime runner who had started on inc
32-yard mark. Instead Of laying up anu
saving his strength for the last Lee made
his effort too soon, with the result that ne
was all in at the bell. He ran well 10 the

the winners time being 1 30 80.
Lee was clocked separately in :o6 z-o'

and much to the surprise Of many the
peerless one not only failed to pick up
the distance, but actually lost ground, so
that Heating won the race by fully five
yards New York got third.
incidentally, Heating derived supreme
satisfaction from showing the way to his
rival. as the Xavier man is a CASTOR from
the Irish Club. The time, 1875 2-b, Is the
fastest at this style, though 1888 20 has
