Presented here are preliminary results of two short runs with a broad- band neutrino-antineutrino beam at National Accelerator Laboratory incident on about 120 tons of target which is part of a detector consisting of an ionization calorimeter and a muon magnetic spectrometer. These results include (i) the observed distribution in transverse muon monentum, dN/dp/sub mu /, (ii) the average neutrino cross section at a mean neutrino energy of roughly 30 GeV, and (iii) the ratio of the antineutrino to the neutrino total cross section at a mean neutrino energy of 40 GeV.
