For four mile dash the purse was

$50 the leader in the second $780, In the third 1900
and 10 the fourth $700. All six Of the entries ap

mdrck Veto, Dallas and Black Crook. Chick
smauga was the favorite. The drum tap sent
them all OF with a pretty good start. Black
Crook led down the home stretch
past the judges stand. winning the $50

second mile Veto made play for the advance, took
it after pretty hard struggle and keptit through.
out the remainder of the race, winning the 500
for the second mile, the 5000 for the third and the
500 for the fourth total $1,000 Bismarck aban-
doned all competition on the run home Of the sec
ond mile and retired to his stable. Black Crook
proved but laggard after his feat of winning the
first mile, and showed that he was not so good on
his legs as the nymphs that trip II on the light fam
tastic toe at the ST. Charles Theater on theirs.
Mary Wynn made gallant struggle throughout,
but her efforts were vain whilst Dallas excited
interest in the minds of the spectators as it was
seen almost from the jump that he stood no
chance Of winning any portion of the purse. The
horses came past the string on the fourth mile in
the following order Veto first, Chicamsuga three
lengths behind him. Mary Wynn about same dis
taDce behind her, third, Dallas bad fourth, and
Black Crook still worse rear guard. Time
6:25 fourth, s:2S3.
SECOND RACE.
This race consisted of mile heats, for beaten
horses; purse $500; four entries, viz: Flora
Temple years old; Agnes DOnoodR, years
old Peoria Boy, years old; and Jennie O.. 3
years old. The general interest centered in the
two last. I'VE premise here that the jockeys, or
at least two Of them, wore different colors from
those set down In the programme-which was
cause OF confusion to great many persons
this reporter included during the first heat }
The first heat was closely contested between
Peoria Boy and Agnes Donovan. Peoria Boy COM
ing in first, Flora Temple distanced. Time,
1904.
The second heat was beautiful one. Jennie
led the party-now narrowed down to three
Peoria Boy second, and Agnes third. Thus they
went around, the Boy and Agnes swapping places
now and then, and making sturdy efforts to catch
up with Jennie but the latter could not " see it
in those lamps" and came 10 a handy winner, the
Agnes second, and Boy third-all three pretty
well together.
Whilst the horses were cooling off and pre-
pairing for the heat there was good deal Of bet.
ting on the Boy and on Jennie, but Agnes seemed
TO be left out in the cold. AT the start in the third
heat, Jennie again took the lead, followed by
Agnes, the Boy trailing. At the halfmile post the
two fllys were neck and neck, and the Boy less
than a length behind. Turning into the home
stretch nobody could tell the winner, for as they
came gathering up under whip and spur, they all
seemed on q parallel. Jennie, however. won
the hardly contested heat and race, Peoria
Boy second, Agnes Donovan third. Time, 2:024.
