Not a great deal of fast galloping was accomplished, however, and most of the horses were allotted serviceable work only. All the gallops wore on the course proper. Counterblast was timed to cover halt a mile in 48seo, and she evidently is well forward. , „ Dictate, Laughing Lass, and Gay bon also covered the same distance in 48sec, ail shaping satisfactorily. Quadroon and Florence traversed hall a mile in a shade better than 49soc. Coliiicamp pleased in returning 48 3-ssec in a similar task, coming home in great style.
