THE RETURN HOME.
When at four O'Clock the racing for the DAY was

where vehicles in some instances can barely drive
abreast. The drives In the Park should certainly be
widened and made at least 100 feet from gutter to

Never before this Continent has there been such
o magnificent programme offered for race meeting,
nor such array Of fine horses brought together to
contend for the premiums to be given by the Ameri
can Jockey Club as the present occasion. Four
races were the card yesterday-the first dash OF
mile and quarter, the second milo heat race,
the third dash Of mile for two year olds, and the
fourth q race OF two mile heats. The track was
good and safe but not remarkably fast; yet the
three year old race OF mile heats was the quickest
that was ever with ITO pounds on the colts and
I07 pounds on the lies In the first race Mr.. O'Don-
nen's r. B. Connolly and Twinkle, Colonel McDan-
tells Lizzie Rogers, DR.. Weldon's Aldebaran and Mr..

not have given &c. 500 for him. and the race between
these two was expected to be one OF an unusually
brilliant character. The result proved them both
