Stallions— H. W. T. Mali, Stockbridge, $30; Haven Jackson, Hinsdale, 

 $15. The splendid stallion, " Robert Bonner," for which Mr. Mali paid 

 $10,000, found no mean competitor in Mr. Jackson's " Grey Lion" of Hins- 

 dale, and Mr. Goodrich's " Dawson Chief." The first heat was won by 

 Bonner in 2.54L and the second by Grey Lion in 3.00 : but the heat and 

 race were given to Bonner, for the bad conduct of Grey Lion's driver, in 

 using his whip too freely.

 Bennett of Pittsfield ; '* Patience," by C. H. Cutting of Lee; " Iloosac

 6 ; Joseph M. Foot, 5 ; Luther Sears, New Lenox, 4 ; Henry A. Barton, 

 Jr., Dalton, 3; Henry B. Brewster, 2.

 been competing with all the horse teams.
