the post with positions in the order named. Some heavy betting was 

 done on this run, Lucky B having the call. The rate was Lucky B 

 one hundred and fifty dollars, Renwick ninety-five dollars, field one 

 hundred and twenty-five dollars. After many failures to get away 

 they were brought to a line and told to go. Renwick had a length 

 the best of Lucky B, who was second, Ella Doane third, Nighthawk 

 further back and in the hands of her trainer, Augusta E still further 

 back and at a standstill, and at the first turn Ella Doane went to 

 second place, and strung out in a string they went to the quarter in 

 0:25 and the half in 0:50. In the lower turn Lucky B moved up 

 again, and where they entered the straight was following Renwick 

 close. Appleby brought Ella Doane up with a rush and lapping 

 Renwick had Lucky B securely pocketed. Ella made a fight for the 

 lead, but could only get to Renw^ick's girth, the big gelding being 

 first to the wire by half a length; Ella Doane second. Lucky B third, 

 Nighthawk and Augusta E unplaced. Time, 1 :42l.
