Opening Of the Juno Mesting-Two Fine Races
Yesterday Charley Green and Draco Prince
the Winnors-A Fine Attendance.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., June 81, 1870.
The attendance at the opening day OF the June
meeting at Narraganset Park not large, al
though very respectable. The track was dull from
the heavy ram OF the previous night There were
two races ON the programme-the first for purse
Of $4,000 for horses that never trotted for money,
divided into three PARASITIC first horse to receive
g. 800, the second $500 and the third $500. There
were nve entries and three starters. These were
Daniel Pffers chestnut stallion Honest Dutcnman, M.
Roden's bay geding Charley Green, and p. Waters
bay gelding Dan Ford. Honest Dutchman was
the favorite against the field at two to previous
to the start, Notwithstanding he appeared quite stn
when brought on the track; but the New YORK men
would have him at any price, as they were Impressed
with the belief that he could not lose In any way.
They however, paid dearly for their opinion, al
Charley Green beat him very easily In three straight
heats.
The second race was for horses that had never
beaten 224 for purse OF t3o0o-$2.00o to the nrst
horse 500 to the second and $500 to the third FOR
this there were six entries; but when the bell
rang for the horses to appear only three came on the
ground. These were Budd Dobles bay gelding Hot
spur, Mr.. Blanchard's chestnut geding License
and Mr. Poors black stallion Draco Prince. Hot
spur was the favorte over the field before
the start After the first heat License and Hotspur
| sold for like amounts, while Draco Prince, the WIN
ner OF the heat brought about $50 In $780, Hotspur
| winning the second heat easily changed every
| thing, and the betters all abroad; but when
Draco won the third heat they were stin more at q
| loss what to make OF 1t. They, however, stuck TO
Hotspur and he sold for much both the others.
| The following are the details OF the races
THE FIRST RACE
FIRST Hedt-Dan Ford the pole, Charley
Green the second place, Dutchman outside. As soon

| lead which gave him lengths the advantage Of
| Dutchman to the quarter pole, which was passed
| in tnirty-seven seconds. Dan Ford was out OF
the race at this point. Going down the backstretch
| Charley Green opened tire gap, and was ten lengths
| In front OF Dutchman as the half-mlle pole. Time,

at every stride At the quTterpole Charley led ten
lengths in thirty-eight seconds, ana was more than
