behind him. At the three-quarter pole Jubilee fell back beaten and 

 Laura took his place. At seven furlongs she was a length to the 

 best, but Grismer came through with a rush and beat her to the wire 

 by a length, Laura second, Whitesides third, Rondo fourth. Jubilee 

 fifth. Grismer was the cry of the speculators now, and around the 

 pool stand the figures noted were: Grismer, two hundred and ten 

 dollars; field, seventy-seven dollars and fifty cents; Laura, sixty- 

 five dollars. 



Second Heat — Laura challenged Grismer at the start and ran with 

 him past the quarter in 0:26, but soon after gave way to Whitesides, 

 who made one of his characteristic spurts and led the big chestnut 

 to the half in 0:52, but before the turn was behind them Whitesides 

 had joined the rear division, and Grismer won as he liked, the order 

 at the finish being the same as in the first heat.

SIXTH DAY. 



The attendance showed a little falling ofi", but still there was a crowd. 

 The weather was the finest of the week, cool, clear, and free from 

 wind. The exercises opened with the consolation purse for beaten 

 horses, carried over from the preceding day by the press of business. 

 Marian, Ella Doane, Nighthawk, and Major Whitesides started. In 

 the pools Ella Doane was quoted at one hundred and twenty dollars, 

 Marian twenty-two dollars, field twenty-four dollars. The start was 

 good as to three of the horses, but Nighthawk was practically left at 

 the post in both heats through her own bad behavior. Whitesides 

 made the running at once, closely followed by Ella Doane and 

 Marian to the quarter in 0:254. On the back quarter Marian pulled 

 back and Nighthawk took third place, Whitesides passing the half in 

 0:502. From there Ella commenced gaining on him, and at the draw- 

 gate had him beaten, when suddenly Marian swept past on the inside, 

 winning the heat bv two lengths, Ella second, Whitesides third, 

 Nighthawk fourth. Time— 1:444. Ella still held her place in the 

 good opinion of the speculators, but at reduced figures. Sales, Ella 

 Doane one hundred and fifty dollars, Marian one hundred and ten 

 dollars, field fortj^-five dollars. 



In the second heat Ella and Marian got together and kept close 

 company to the quarter where Ella showed in front (time 0:252) and 

 to the half in 0:51, without material change. Whitesides and Night- 

 hawk three lengths back. Near the five furlong pole Whitesides 

 wavered and fell, never to rise again. Ella and Marian came up the
