Allan Roy, but owing to running were set back, Vandcrlynn fourth,

 also very handily by Manon, her chances never being in jeopardy at 

 any portion of the mile, winning in 2:231; Brigadier second, Vandcr- 

 lynn third, Allan Roy fourth, Albert W distanced. This gave Brig- 

 adier second money, Allan Roy third, and Vanderlynn fourth.

The second race was the 2:40 class for a purse of $1,200. The 

 starters were Joe Arthurton, La Grange, and James H, with posi- 

 tions as above. Joe Arthurton was the favorite at $150 to $70 on 

 James H, and $16 on La Grange. They were very evenly sent off on 

 the fifth score, James H having about a neck the best of it. All were 

 trotting fast, James H rather outfooting the favorite and gaining the 

 lead enough to take the pole before reaching the quarter, which he 

 made in SSi seconds. He had a lead of three lengths when he broke, 

 losing so much ground that both the others passed him. At the half 

 Joe was two lengths in front of La Grange in 1:10, the latter break- 

 ing on the turn, when James H overtook him, but broke again, Joe 

 Arthurton leaving them and jogging home winner. James H had 

 thrown a shoe, to which was ascribed his frequent breaks. After the 

 heat Joe brought $150 to $20 on both the others, varying from that to 

 $100 to $32. 



There was a good start at the second score, Joe Arthurton and La 

 Grange keeping together, James H making a break on the turn and 

 falling back. Joe Arthurton and La Grange passed the quarter locked 

 in 37 seconds, and were still together at the half-mile in 1:10. From 

 there the pace was slow, Joe winning in 2:26, several lengths in front 

 of La Grange, James H was far behind the distance flag, but the 

 judges deeming that he had not been driven to win, placed him third 

 and substituted another driver. 



James Dewan was the driver selected to take the place of Baylis to 

 pilot James H. The change appeared to be favorable, as James H 

 trotted steadily until near the three-quarter pole, when he broke. 

 Arthurton and La Grange trotted side and side to the half-mile in 

 1:11, but from there the black seemed to tire, Joe winning in 2:282, 

 La Grange two seconds behind.
