 Colonel Hawkins last.

 went to the front and kept it from start to finish, passing the quarter 

 in 37 seconds, the half in 1:11, and the mile in 2:23; Adair second, 

 Olivette third, and Colonel Hawkins fourth.

The free-for-all purse, $1,500, was the concluding race of the series. 

 There were five entries, three of which came to the .post — Vander- 

 lynn, Albert W, and Bay Frank. In the pools Vanderlynn brought 

 $50, Bay Frank $45, Albert W $20. There was a good deal of time 

 taken up in scoring, and when the word was given all were nearly 

 abreast. Albert W broke before going fifty yards, and Vanderlynn 

 at the furlong mark. This enabled Bay Frank to take the lead, get- 

 ting to the quarter, two lengths in front of Vanderlynn, in 361 sec- 

 onds. There was more difference at the half in 1:101, but from there 

 Vanderlynn closed on the leader, and came home with something to 

 spare, in 2:22. 



The second heat was disastrous to all except Vanderlynn. Albert 

 W broke, then Bay Frank, neither of wbich could recover in time 

 to save their distance, giving Vanderlynn first, second, and third 

 money. Time, 2:21.
