SECOND DAY
Ihe glorious weather yesterday, and the pros
pect OF unusual sport at the Metairie, attracted
very large crowd to that ancient and honorable
arena Of equine sport. The ladies were present ii
handsome numbers, and appeared to be delighted
not only with the excitements of the field, bu
with the new and elegant apartments which the
Clu6 have tfis year provided for their accommo
dation The scene presented by the whole course
was one Of fashion, beauty and gaiety, and the pre-
vaing atmosphere was that Of joyous exhilara
ton.
Three races had been announced for the day
The first, the match for $4,000 between lBM Alez
andei' and Sigma, did not excite much attention
It being generally believed, If not understood thai
the former would pay the forfeit of $500 and net
run. This belief was IN due time verified BIZ OH
cial announcement from the judges stanh.
The second race on the programme was d

itet'otrope, Glencoe four year old and Mr. Ken
ner's famous four year old, Sigma. Here, again.
the Kennerites did all the loud talking and freely
offered four to one ON their fayorite against the
field The result showed that the enjoying ones',
were not at fault, for Kenner took loth races
easily Our particulars, therefore, need not be
long drawn out.
FIRST RAoE.-In this, the sweepstakes for two
year olds, Salie Woodtcarel led at the {ump. with
ptoid next and SID Story last Going into the back
stretch, Sid passed Viola, crowded SAllie in tie
long run, Tapped her through the last turn and,
after lively scrirnmage, came home ahead by 4
neck's length, in 1924. or course Sid kent popu-
lar as ever. Viola led from the Jump in The second
heat, with Sid next. Going into the back stretch,
all three got well together, and began to bunch,
amid the widest cheers of the odds-takers, Viola
and Sid had i neck and neck from that out, with
same close at their heels. After another lively
struggle, Sid came home, length oil SO ahead,
winner Of the heat and race, in 1:5la.
SECOND RAcE.--All four of the entries came TO
the stand, in good condition; Bingaman's Repent
dnce being dancy and full of foolishress. After
the jump for the first heat, Norbi7 ldd, followed
by Hetiofrope, with Sigma in the rear. They all
crowded together leaving, and snapped places in
the back stretch, Repentance taking the lead Nor
burn still second. Sigma third and HelFotrope last.
In the last turn, the three first named punched
and In the run for home Sigma took the lead with
Norburn still second and Repentance third. Thus
they opened the second mile. All four kept their
relative positions, with slightly uctuahg gaps (he
last gap, with Heliotrope behind already proclaim
ing that animal distanced) until they rounded for
the third turn. Here Repentance blisked up to
take the second place from Norburh when the
latter bolted and threw his rider and was dstanced
with Heliotrope. Sigma beat Repentance home
four or Ave lengths, winning the heat in 3:48a.
Signals friends had now to offer five, eight. and
even ten to one on the result but found no takers
that we saw. At the start for the second heat
Repentance led lttle and kept the lead till they
came round for the quarter stretch, when Sigma
stopped his foolng, entered the second mile
length ahead, and kept the lead frbm that ont
winning the heat and the race, the easiest in the
world, in 3:4sa.
