IhTogs Neck. description Of the race Is unnecea-
sary, as it was easly.Eon by Gold Leaf.
SECOND RAeB-Was a sweepstakes for all ages a
mile heats, the propretors adding purse Of $500,
closed with eight nominations of which but three
appeared TO contest the prize. The course was
crowded, the day lovely one, and the track in ex
ceent order. Before the race, Lizzie Macdonald
formerly Sue Washington and Nicholas each had
strong hackers, that neither could be placed as
decided favorite Lizzie rather had the call. Tar
River not generally placed in the position that
his performance entitled him to but to the heats
First Hsat.-At the tap of the drum, they all got
off nice together, Tar River taking the lead, and
Nicholas second. The heat was run through without
change of positon-Nicholas trying it on Tar River
all through the last mile but apparently to no pur-
pose. Lizzie kept up steady running, and dropped
inside the distance flag without having been let out
during the heat. Time, 7:503
1t was so evident that Lizzie had done running,
that she came more in favor after the heat, and
stood higher than before the start.
| Second Heat.-The horses all cooled off well, and
came up looking finely. The lead was taken by
| Nicholas, Tar River second, and Lizzie in her old
place-all three well together so they passed the
stand the first mile On the second mile they all
went to work, and on the back stretch Tar River
went up alongside Of Nicholas but could not keep
the place; he was shaken of, only to renew his
efforts and again be shaken off, The second and
third miles were run in this manner Lizzie all the
time being en- hand At the close of the third mile,
Lzzies rider pulled her up believing the race was
over; he was told to go on, hut as he had pulled
almost to stand-still could not save his distance
Nicholas the heat in 1885, Tar River being close
to his heels. Nicholas was now the ayorite at large
odds.
Third Heat.-This is briefly told Nicholas tool
the lead and kept it, although Tar River contested
in most gallant manner, and came in not more THAI
a length behind, in $50. Nicholas was ridden b,
Webster, while the familiar face of Gilpatrick ap
peared above Tar Rivers saddle.
THIRD R4CE.-sweepstakes for year oIds, mill
out. OF six nominations there only appeared, viz
Crinolme, Starbeam, and chestnut FLY, by KIM
Pin. At the tap, CrinoIlne was long way in th
rear but at the first turn she made the running anC
took the first position coming in an easy winner il
l:525. Not satisfied with the mile, she kept on, ant
was not taken up until she had ran two miles and
half. She is very promising looking, good size
f bay. The following summaries complete my record
