by Mr Jchn, E. Swartz, and driven by
Mr Proctor'a Canadian star in the

and exeitement was at, high tide.. The
story of the race is Very short. 'Harold

first heat, like a scared Chinaman of

the grear nations -at hie 'beat; - atilt
never stopped racing until he had
three straight heats to his credit. It

for a nominal figure, and finding there
wiis speed in him, subsequently sold
him to Swartz for a figure in the
