Tubman passed half a length ahead, winning the beat in 2.2)<. The most vociferous shouts went up for the victor, and the betting tables seemed to turn. Tubman becoming the favorite at (light odds. In the second neat, Tubman again led off about a length, but Salina recovered, and at the half mile they were side by side, continuing to the home stretch and down the quarter. Tubman being the winner by aliout halt a length, in 2.08. Midnight was dis¬ tanced in the first heat.
