The special race next Friday is for three-year-olds and upward at one mile, and the conditions read: "By subscription of 0 each to the winner, with ,500 added, of which 50 to the second and 50 to the third. The Association to add ,000 in specie or plate at the option of the owner of the winner, should the track record for a mile, 1:38, bo beaten.

I helieve Charles Edward can beat almost any sprinter at six furlongs with big weight up, for lie is a powerfully built colt, with lots of stamina as well as speed." The conditions of the special are sufficiently alluring to make it certain that Charles Edward will have company enough to keep the pace hot.
