McKee's bay mare Breeze, Mr., Champlin's bay more
Amber, Mr.. Doble's g. g. BOlly Lewis and Mr.. CHAM
bers' bay mare Atlanta. Tho two latter were dis.
tanced in the first heat, and Amber was
ruled out on the fifth for not having won
heat up to that time In the race. Six heats
were trotted without result for fast as the horses
were, darkness overlook them before they finished
the race and it had to be postponed untn the next
fair day. Five heats were successfully tretted under
233 which is most remarkable performance, to say
nothing of the equality Of the principal contestants
In the race Breeze won the first heat Bradley the
second, Fred Pense the third and fourth. and made
a dead heat with Bradley for the nth. The latter
won the sixth, when the postponement was decided
The race will be continued to-day, II the weather
is favorable at one O'CLOCK when, II either Of the
geldings win heat the race will be decided, but it
will be requisite for the mare to win two to be en-
titled to the purse.
The betting was very limited for race OF this char
acter Bradley and Breeze being the avorites against
the field before the start After the first heat although
won by the mare, Fred Pense rose in favor and sold
for $780, which was nearly as much all the others
brought together After the heat Bradley was
the avorite against the field at 100 to TO- aud he
continued until the race was postponed.
THE WEATHER AND THE TRACK.
The weather, which had been lowering all the
morning assumed more threatening aspect In the
afternoon, and just after the race commenced rain
began to fall which continued throughout the re-
mainder OF the day. making the track dull and dead
like. The disagreeabe state Of the weather seemed
to exercise q depressing influence on the horses
themselves well as the spectators, and no doubt
made the time some seconds slower than 1t would
have been on warm, clear afternoon, with light
track.
