EXTRA DAY-TUEsDAY, APRIL 9.-The proposition
of the Metairle Jocky Club to give an extra days
spert to the lovers of the turf was handsomely
sponded to-day. The first race of one mile heats,
for horses that had not won at this meeting, for a
purse of S4OO, and the second, one of two mile
heats for horses that had not at this meeting won
two mile race or over the purse 5000.
The entries for the first of these races were MI
Bingaman's bay colt Tom Reddy, Mr.. W. ]. Minors
grey FLY, "a beautiful animal and Mr.. Foleys en-
try, (Mr. 7. G. Moores) chestnut FLY, Molly Jack
son. For the second race, Mr.. BingaInan entered
his bay colt Dick Edward, a Lexington, out of La
Bacchante, and Mr.. Foley (Mr. Moore's, bay FLY
Idlewild, also Lexington, dam by Glencoe.
In the pooling the evening before the race and on
the ground before the start, Molly the favorte
against the field in the first race, and Idlewild in
the second.
After two false starts the horses got off nearly to-
gether for the first heat, Fairy little ahead, Tom
following, and the favorite third. So they went
costly round, half way, when Molly began to
gather, and BY the time they came 70 the home
! stretch they were much more sociable. There
abouts Tom passed the Vandyke nlly, and came uR
der the string length two ahead of her, winning
the heat in lao, the favorite being the third.
There was a good start for the second heat
Fairy was first on the back stretch, Tom and Molly
| following Halfway round it locked close thing
and so it kept til the turn home, when they were
all together. Then Molly, who had not been at al
tagging, came CALAMITY up, PASSED both of her com
petitors-Tom, in the meantime giving the gp-5y t.
the pretty grey Fairy, coming IN handsome second
to Molly who vas the winner of the second heat in
| l:463. ~
Molly was then the favorite at larger odds thar
ever. Bets of larger odds were offered on Vandal
but no takers, or very few.
After felr false starts, the starter of Tom Reddy
seeming to be very unwilling to let his colt 60 till hs
was quite ready, the trio got off for the third heat
Tom slightly ahead, Molly next, Fairy following
| atrptQh WA mi
between them Tom kept his advantage, Molly be
ing second still, to the half mile post; but at the
| three-quarters, Molly made play, Tapped her pre-
cursor, and approaching the turn home, passed him
And az just about this juncture, Tom threw his
rider and kept on, coming down the home stretch
and leading both his competitors. Molly came il
next, several lengths ahead of Fairy, and won the
\ second mile in Isl, and, Of course, the race.
Then came the two mile race. The betting SC
far IS We could Judge, may be stated as hundred
| to forty, IN favor of IdleEild,
For the first heat, Dick Edward led off at the start
and kept ahead to the string the first mile com
ing in length before the favorite, in l:48. He in
creased his distance perceptbly, through the back
stretch, but at the half mile post it seemed very
close affair. Whereabouts, Idlewild came up, and
gained on him. On entering the home stretch, they
were very near, the FLY every moment getting the
advantage. To the veFy string the contest was gal
lantly maintained but the FLY gog there first, by
halfength, and won the mile in 1904, and the heat
lna0-oc2.
The odds were, now, everything to anything on
| the favorite.
The start for the second heat was good one
Dick LED of and went ahead, the FLY closely be-
hind him all the way round 10 the string and gain
ing steadily at every stride. The colt passed the
red tape about length ahead of her, and made the
mile in 1881. He even increased his distance from
her on the back stretch, and led her to three
| quarters. But she not far behind, and on en-
ering the home stretch passed her competitor hand
somely, and came in several length ahead Of her
making the mile in l:473, and winning the heat in
81, and go of course the race. The following il
