TEMPLE BAR EXPELLED. 115 



not familiar with that kind of racing, and instead of shoo- 

 ing Mascot out, he was eighth in the first heat and third 

 in the second. Mascot won the first in 2 :i6^4, with Frank 

 Dortch second, and the next in 2:15^, the place going to 

 Mary Centlivre. As soon as Monroe Salisbury ran his
