By mo nnd W. Wilson, 125 sec.) set a hot pace right from the start, and maintained their lead uni'il three-"quai\ l ers of a railo from home, when A. Cook (olsee.) a promising runner, took up t lie lead, and ran home the winner in tho good time- of ISinin. 29sec. He was closely followed by A. Oliver (lOoscc), and F. Hod-f-ciii (25sec). The next to finish were G. Bristow (70=cc), F. Byrne (scr.), and V. Byrne (lOsec). The remainder of the field finished well up. After tho respective times had been adjusted, it was found that I'.
