gum, with its blood-red garniture, beau
tifully set of by the evefgreens, invited
the eve to dwell upon the constantly
shifting picture, and making IL wish for
an extension Of the season. There was
no wall in the wind, November as 1t IL,
and the sun was genial, although shorn
Of his dazzling effulgence.
FIRST RACE.
The first race was for the saloon purse
| OF $500. Entrance S35, mile heats, best
three In five. There was some mistake
In announcing the races for this day,
and especially this race, As the pro-
gramme was entirely reticent on the sub
ject. 1t would have drawn more people
| to the field had il not been understood as
simply mile heats and restricted 70 the
best two In three. There Is another
thing we should mention In this eonuec
ton, and which confused even many Of
the experienced turites-we allude to
the naming Of the col0rs worn by the
riders, which were rarely, IL ever, cor
rect. Malcolm was decidedly the favO-
rite at the pOol-selling, and opinion hesi-
tating between Viola and Pat. CleburHe.
Malcolm had the call, but after 8 false
start, they were called back, and once
| more their faces set to the task before
them, when Cleburne dashed forward az
ter Malcolm, but was passed by Viola On
the turn, and the mile was run In the
same position in l:5O.
Second Hedt.-Malcolm was still
the fsvorite, but opinion was divided be-
| tween Viola and CIeburne. The half mile
wss made in 0:49. On the third quarter
Viola fell back and many thought she
would be left out, but she CALAMITY IN
wound q few kinks and came well up,
making q good third, II there had been
/ another in the race. This heat was Nal
colm's, in 1904.
Third Hedt.-After several false starts,
they set OF together, Malcolm In the
lead. On the first quarter Viola passed
Cleburne, and pressed on Malcolm. The
! half mile was made In 0:534. For some
time on the back stretch it seemed doubt
full who was in the lead, Malcolm or
| Viola. and rs they came down the home
stretch. it was still doubtful, but the ire
mendous stride Of the Bonnie Scotland
| colt passed hin under the string in the
/ lead, while Viols and Cleburne had q
most magnificent struggle for the second
place, which the former Won in l:49i.

SECOND HEAT.
This was q contest between beaten
horses, and very great interest was man
Tested in the result. Chiekamaugs was
/ rather the fsvOrite, although OoltaWa
| and Nell Gwyuns had their friends who
| expressed confidence against any named
competitor Jack Gamble had some
/ hackers, but to 10 great extent, and Bill
Forrest was regarded as q dead beat Z"
before they started.
First Hedt-Forrest had the start,
| after a trial or two, Chicksmsuga being
FESTIVE and behaving badly, refusing to
take his place as handicapped. Many
| could not understand the change of dress
which called for blue and white, when
his rider had scarlet jacket and cap and
white trOwsers. When such alterations
we're made in the programme, it was
impossible to keep the score Of the horses
as they passed around, and It could only
be ascertained at the close Of the heat,
which was Won in l:47i-Chicksmauga
winning the hest, Jack Gamble second,
OOlLhNh AhlAuf @NEAA IAh0 AOAAAng az
Bill Forrest distanced.
Second Hedt-The start might have
been better. Nell GwynRe's rider seemed
to trust to her heels, and set out at the
TOD Of her speed. She ran down before
reaching the third quarter, and dropped
far behind. She rallied again and made
well Up on the last turn, but the speed
was too great for her, and she barely
saved her distance. ChickamRHga made
some splendid running in this heat, and
OotaWa and Jack Gamble showed them
selves to be nc mean competitors. Time,
I:46, being the fastest mile that was made
during the meeting.

THIRD RACE.
The sun was now passing out of sight,
his crimson disc wheeling behind the
trees, when the track was cleared, and
the horses brought out for the third race,
a single dash Of 3 mile, with three en-
tries. There wa several false starts, aud
the Judges had a hard time In drawing
the horses up in q line. The Maid Of
| Memphis was 8 great sufferer, because
she would not 60, but SHE'D ct the palings
and her rider could not urge her along.
After being drawn from the fence, she
resolutely refused to bulge, and it was
with repeated efforts she would be headed
In the right direction. Once away, the
little Oakley who rode her, without cap,
let Der out from the jump, and she made
many q foot Of gain as her fleet jumps
brought her nearer her competitors, who
had obtained q fall quarter the start. Il
was unfortunate that she SHOULD nave
behaved so badly-the result might have
been different. AS it was, the President
in response to repeated calls for q new
trial, decided that the race was ct en-
end, as q horse shying after q start, or
refusing to run, was no cause for either
calling the others back, or having an
other trial.
