Azote Defeats Fantasy.

Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 15.—The chief in* terest yesterday centered in the race between Salisbury’s plow horse, Azote, and Hamblin's young mare, Fantasy Azote had the pole and a length the best of it at the send-off; on the back stretch Fantasy drew up on even terms, but Azote drew away again in the stretch and won as he pleased in a walk. Fantasy broke at the first turn in the second heat, but Azote waited for her on the back stretch, and they came, into the home stretch on even terms. The mare had not the speed in her, however, and Azote came away, winning easily. Best time, 2:1914.
