SECOND RACE.
This was the Invitation Stake" and
most inviting il was-Sl00 entrance, the
Association adding Sl,00O-second horse
entitled to half the entrance money, which
was $500 Only three started, Ldntdno,
Gondolier and Mieqins The last was the
favorite, having "gobbled" the stakes at
st. Louis last fall, against all corners from
all quarters, in one and two miles. In the
pools, over night, the judgment of specu
iators was indicated az follows: Maggins,
$50 LantaHd, $l2 Goadolig, S.. On the
track, in the same order, 500, $40 and $40.
Previous to the starting, clarion voice
shouted, $500 to $1,000 that Muggins
wins in two straight heats" but there was
no response.
FIrsi Heat.-The start good, with Con
dalier in the rear. AT the first turn he fell
still further behind, and "gone up" was
audibly heard, while the contest seemed 20
be LEFT 20 the other two. The first mile
showed Lantand and Muggins well matched,
but, on the back stretch Of the second mile,
Gondoliev snapped places with LaRtdno, and
made brush that brought him TO the side
of the fayorite. and created a transient i'm
preston that he might take the heat On
entering the last quarter, the thing was
plainly up with him, by a length and a
alf-Lantana still further IN the rear,
Muqqins taking the heat in 3;47S.
Second Hoat.-During the cooling time,
there was not pool sold, and the vast con-
course were az silent as a vestry meeting
with no business before II. The ladies,
even, seemed contemplative, no doubt cher
ishing their sympathies for the inevitable
losers, who had bet against what was now
demonstrated to be a certainty. At the tap
the contest was resumed in the order Of the
outcome in the previous heat. On entering
the back stretch Of the second mile, LGntana
came up and tackled the invincible but
found il too steep" and gracefully said 10

three lengths ahead Of Gondolier and five in
advance Of Ldntdnd, in S:43a.
