Idealist went six/ furlongs, easing up, in lmin. 17 1-osec: 'fhe gallop was a pleasing one. .Master Delaval, Zimmerman, and Probable did a mile and a half in 2niin. 41 4-ssec, and finished abreast, but Master Delaval was going, much the best, and could easily have Tboaten the others, whose display was - not . impressive. St. Joe, Apa, and Frisco van a mile in 2min. 12 2-osee., St. Joe beatiug Apa by a neck in a creditable performance. Gazelcy Armistice, Maniapoto, Grand Slam, and Koran went a mile and a half in 2min. 42 3-osec.
