 heat, Adam being unable to reach the leader. Time, l:16f. The betting 

 previous to the start was $70 on Doubt to $60 on both the others; after, it 

 was $100 to $25.

There was a mob of starters for the fourth race, a dash of a mile. The 

 starters and their positions were as follows: Lizzie Dunbar, Mollie Capron, 

 Daisy D, Irish Lass, Edwin F, Valido, Laura Gardner, Dublin Bay, Ned 

 Archer, Wild Eye, Tom Atchison, Harriet, Grover Cleveland, Emma T, and 

 Pickpocket. The pools sold — Dublin Bay, $50; Lizzie Dunbar, $45; Laura 

 Gardner, $45; Harriet, $40; field, $40. Speculation was quite brisk, and 

 there was little variation in the odds. 



They presented a fine appearance at the starting point, there being so 

 many bright colors and not a few handsome horses. With the large field, 

 and hampered by the absurd starting rule, it took some time to get them 

 off, and when the flag fell three of them were at least thirty feet beyond 

 the starting point. Irish Lass was one of them, and she made good use of 

 her advantage, reaching the quarter pole, a length in front of Lizzie Dun- 

 bar, in 25 seconds. The pace was still faster along the backstretch, Liz- 

 zie Dunbar a little closer to Irish Lass at the half in 50^ seconds, Irish 

 Lass was a mere trifle in front at the three quarters iri 1:17, and from there 

 Lizzie Dunbar came away from the others and won handily in 1:43, Daisy 

 D two lengths behind, Harriet third, the others scattering, some of them 

 as far off as one hundred and fifty yards behind.
