 bar 2, Snowden 3, Lexingtor 4, Illusion 5. Baldwin's stable sold for 

 $50, Dunbar $40, Field $35, the pool box being very liberally patron- 

 ized. The race was just as handsome a contest as any man ever need 

 desire to see in a running race. They got off well together. Snow- 

 den led at the turn, Illusion second, Lexingtor, third. Dunbar fell 

 to the rear badly. At the quarter she came up to a fair position, 

 while Snowden and Illusion went side by side to the half-mile post. 

 There Lexingtor took the second place. At the three-quarter post 

 they were well together, with first one then another pushing to the 

 front, and all going for all that was in them, the race exciting the 

 spectators to enthusiasm. Just before the drawgate, Lena, under a 

 lively whipping, came to third place, and for an instant had the sec- 

 ond position, but Jennie B. here proved her mettle by passing all in 

 a splendid effort, and passing under the score first, winning first 

 money ; Snowden a splendid second, with second money ; Dunbar 

 third, and third money; Illusion, fourth; Lexingtor last. Time, 

 1:421, equaling the best time ever made on the track.
