Op u order WAS the style in which the field pased the village, but it closed up again when passing the Judge's hox for the first time, Tip Cat leading with King- stope second and Triumph Rose third. The order was the same when the football stand was passed when Triumph Rose began to elege up assuming the lead while ascending the hill, Tip Cat being second and Kingston third.

Tip Cat was second and Comanche third. The Pari-Mutuel paid a 'ividend of $9; 86.90 on the first pony and $10.90 on the second, Time-3 mia 15 secs.
