Between the heats of the free-for-all a match between J. B. Plaggin's 

 Premium and the Australian horse Kelpie, half a mile, was run. 

 The race was for five hundred dollars a side. Henry Schwartz was 

 selected by the parties to the match as starter, and he sent the horses 

 away with as square and fair a start as the most exacting quarter 

 horse speculator could desire. It was expected that the race would 

 be close, but it proved otherwise. The two ran together around 

 the turn, but as soon as they were straightened in the stretch, the 

 great old mare commenced to leave the Australian, and she came 

 to the winning post first by three lengths. Time, 481.

Trotting was then resumed and some colt controversies were dis- 

 posed of. In the Occident Stake for three-year olds, all the nomina- 

 tions were withdrawn except Sallie Benton, and she took a walk over 

 for the stakes and declaration money. 



In the yearling race only two colts appeared, Cannon Ball and a 

 black filly named by Mr. L. J. Rose. Cannon Ball has been aptly 

 named. He is a resolute little fellow, but slow of motion. He drew 

 the pole and they went away, the black filly leaving the colt at once 

 and doing the mile as she liked, Cannon Ball being beaten over a 

 furlong.

The meeting closed with the trot for the three-minute class. Hazel 

 Kirke, Barney B, Sister, Le Grange, and Scandinavian started with 

 positions in that order. The race was considered to lay between 

 Barney B and Scandinavian, with a chance for Sister or Le Grange 

 to make a scratch, and the pools sold Barney B sixty dollars, Scan- 

 dinavian forty-five dollars, field eighteen dollars. 



First Heat — Barney B had a little the best of the send-off. Sister 

 and Hazel Kirke both broke, and at the quarter Barney B had them 

 well strung out, Le Grange three lengths behind him, Sister and
