Capital Running.

DAT sueu was nor the ~sy aAscA 6ASSs
and exciting election Is no day for holding race
meeting, and no amount Of attraction would have
been SUFFICIENT to have ensured more than limited
attendance. Those present, however, enjoyed good
days SPORT for the running was everything tint
could DO desired. The racing commenced with
hurdle race OF two miles over eight hurdles with
weller weights up. There were five entries, four Of
which came to the post. There were Colonel Nc
Daniels bay colts Red Dick and Ripley, Mr.. Todd's
brown horse Harry Booth and MI Waldrons bay horse
Underwood. There was very little jumping done in
this race the business OF one OF the entries being
principally to knock down the hurdles and clear
pathway the others to follow When he got through
with his task he reinquished the to his competi
tors who made pretty good run Of 1t afterwards,
the winner only reaching the score neck in front OF
his opponents. Harry Booth and Underwood. The
latter horse carried ten pounds more than his corr

an Uncle Vic colt. Morrssey and Sarah B. This was
splendid dash, and quite an interesting AFFAIR at the
finish between Metairie and Juba, the former win
ming by a neck and shoulders. There was some bad
Judgment displayed by the Jockey OF Jubal who ran
him 80 far in the heavy part of the course ON the
last quarter that he pulled up lame after
passing the score. The third race was mile heats
between Colonel McDanel's chestnut nlly Lizzie
three heats the first being won by Sleety and the
two subsequent heats by Lizzie Rogers. This, also,
was good race and well contested one through

most have been considered dead heat. The follow
