It nearly proved successful for Stoup took one heat and Clements two, befor Ferguson's horse was able to cross the line first. He took the last three heats and won the race, in the last heat beating Clements by a head only. Class two was between the horses of J. V. N. Gregory, of Dexter, Omar Moore, of Ann Arbor, and N. D.
