and blue ; Shaffer's b. c. Haddington, red ; Judson's ch. c. Tyler, 

 buff and blue. Purse, $250, added to entrance. Euchre had first 

 place, Haddington second, Wild Idler third, Tyler outside. Euchre 

 sold for $70 in the pools, to $12 for Haddington and the field. Pool 

 selling was active in this race. This race proved also a success. It 

 was hotly contested and finely ridden, creating much exciting inter- 

 est. Haddington led at the start, but at the first turn Euchre came 

 to the bay colt's side, and at the quarter pole took the lead and kept 

 it to the end. Haddington at the quarter fell to the rear. Tyler, 

 near the half, with Wild Idler at his saddle-girth, pushed boldly for 

 a first place, but got to the third position only, while Idler took 

 second rank. Around the turn Euchre was let out and opened a 

 broad band of daylight between her heels and Idler's nose, while the 

 others were strung out also in single file. At the three-quarter pole, 

 however, they were all well massed and came into the stretch at a 

 splendid pace, every rider plying whip and spur, and every animal 

 doing his level best. Tyler pushed for the front and got second 

 place, by hard work, at the score, with Euchre first, Haddington 

 third, and Wild Idler fallen off to the last place. Time, 1:58!. They 

 took money in the order stated. The quarter pole was reached in 41 

 seconds, the half in 1:06; and this was a speed hardly looked for in 

 the race.

 ing won first place, and Clara D. second. Clara D. sold as the favor- 

 ite for $30 to $20, and now and then $60 to $50 for Connor. The horses 

 started even, and went side by side the first quarter of a mile, Connor 

 at the three-quarter leading a half length, but soon after Clara took 

 the lead, and with ease kept Connor at her saddle-girth all the rest 

 of the route, winning by half a length with perfect nonchalance, 

 while Connor showed signs of fatigue. They reached the score in 

 2:39. The first mile was made in 1:44. It proved a fast race, there- 

 fore.
