 dam Volga, 4 years old, 100 pounds. George Howson names s. g. 

 Snowden, by Bloomsbury, dam by Norfolk, aged, 105 pounds. They 

 had positions in the order given above. Snowden sold favorite in 

 the pools, Glen second. The race was a neat one and well contested. 

 Lexingtor led at the start and up to half, with Glen second, until the 

 last upper turn was reached, when Snowden went second, but soon 

 fell off to third place. Lexingtor still led at the score, with Glen 

 second and Snowden third. The others were close behind. On the 

 backstretch Glen pushed to the side of the leader, and on the entrance 

 to the homestretch was neck and neck with him, and an instant after 

 took the front place and kept it. It was a pretty push down to the 

 score, and the horses ran like startled deer. They came to the score — 

 Glen first in 2:521, Snowden second, Lexingtor third, Illusion fourth, 

 Australian fifth.

 the others showing like degrees of comparison, as $230 to $100, $100 

 to $15. Jennie B. led all the way around. Connor traveled forty 

 yards behind for the first mile, but it was evident that the mare 

 could have kept him further at the rear. On the last mile, as they 

 left the score, Connor went after his competitor in a splendid rush 

 of speed and very nearly overhauled her, while the vast audience 

 rose up and cheered the effort lustily. But he could not collar the 

 mare, who came in winner by a neck in 3:51L Connor ran the last 

 mile in 1:441, the first mile was made in 1:46. The race was a splen- 

 did one and created great enthusiasm.
