Afier looking over the list earefally, we are of the opinion that Satsoma was the best of the older division, taking ability to go a long or short distance into account. He ran six furloogs in 1:12$, a mile io l:39i and 1:40 and 1^ miles in 2:07}. In sixteen starts he was out of the money but once, and was then left at the post. While The Roman did not win $2,000, his mile and a quar- ter over Ingleside track in 2:07* with 119 lbs. up stamps him mearly first-class. Fleur de Lie ran some grand races, one of a mile in l:40i at Iogleside being especially good. Gevser started nine times and won on every occasion. He muBt be accounted the best horse here of any age up to and including seven furlongs. He ran the latter distance in 1:26} at Ingle- side with 115 lbs. in the saddle, a track record, and the best seven-furlong race from every standpoint ever run there. Paul Griggs did not win $2,000, bnt was just nosed out by Flashlight a mile in 1:40. and ran five furlongs at Ingleside in 1:00J. The best three-year-old colt of the sea- son, to our minds was Count of Flanden5, who, we hear ,has gone wroog. He was veiy fast, game and consistent. The best three-year-old filly was Briar Sweet, who ran seven races, winning five and running second twice. She is credited with going five furlongs in 1:00} at Ingleside, 102 pounds up; seven furlongs in 1:26}, 97 pounds up, and a mile in 1:40$, 107 pounds. Her seven-furloDg race tied the track record, and considering she was a year younger than Gey6er,it wsb fa\\f as good as his. May W. wa8 "out of the money" but twice in nineteen starts, and the first time out was clearly not fit. Th
