OF the gentle Neeze and mid sunshine that marked
ms bVelinesJ OF Tuesday, and the tracS In oes
6r Condt0n foT IL mad received liberal spiinKlng
which 1t sadly needed. II the management had ex-
tenoed this fitting work te the wettlng OF WhyIie
averae theY w0ld have increased the attendance OF
she ladies four1old anu given greater sasiactohro
their gentlemen pairoNs. 1t would not be a very
expensive matter, and VI time would literally repay
them fer the outlay.
The character Of the crowd present to-day varied
pomewfsa at from yesterday. There We're moro coun-
srymen TO be noted that class Of men who are, or
rather sninA themselves experts on al questions

ali dssrmted points. The air Of confidence that

and experienced individuals can always be found
fresh from The plough and the corn crib. Tho

During the afternoon the inner Held OF the track
md the groves OF trees about the grounds, ext end
lng back TO West river contained many vehicles, and
Feay the scene was decidedly picturesque. Many
hades remained seated IA theiT CARRIAGES ana were
qulte pre,tily dressed IN radiant colors than
tthe dUstTy nature oite road warranted The veteran
peanut vender was on hand IA greater numbers to-
dav, enueav0rlng To dls pose Of his pebean uxuries
fortncoming events; but re nad no opinion 80 oner
the subject, and, TO his words. he 'dd' mt
care cuss for the races, provided he sold out his
Btock.' The canvas booths were more numerous,
and chowder, lager beer cOnSumptive sandwiches
and the ike could have been had for the necessary
equivalent. The accession or sports from Gotham
made The pool room in the city more livery this
anornng than at any previous time and their betting
prociivittes started the ball rolling the track and
made matters quite hvely. Music quite decently
rendered by band from New Haven, added to the
afternoons pleasures.
The iaterest or the day 1t was thought would lay
unquestiOnably In the team race. for those who had
seen one OF the same horses trOt in similar
Aast week 81 Point Breeze Park, Philadelphia, were
anxious to note tbeir work on track little farther
from home Not a few earnestly wished mat the
team ironsiGe5 and ilghLioOJ that 1nad3 such an
excellent race ut that ume with Dot aud Hickory
Jack. could have been on hand, and, as they eI-
ION PARK would have little botter eyesight
Ahan ihe Old cOOls at Point Breeze.r India Rubber
Ben and mate were theIavortes before the race, and
eiter the first heat, by them IL capital styie
shutting ont Flora bay ana Bess, there were but few
who woa.d bet GsainSJ them al the longest ODDS.
But while the team race did not excite that arten-
ton rs was ancipaed tie $3.50 contest evoked much
interest aId although the race was won by
the gray Eedtng Royal john N three straight
heats, tho stru ggies between tha remaining horses
for second end third places was very brilliant. Old
Put fought the way all through during the last heat,
and his friends were really considerably satisfied,
even II not molihed, at ms beating Emperor home
the tn,ra heat, although their money was gone aud
no hope Of getting square until the morrow.
The shadows OF the club house and Its adjoining
building became 6eep and long On the green ground
OF the track he heats were flashed. 1t was a
signal thai the pleasures Of the day must be named
among the pleasures OK the past. 1heTe was gen.
eral stir IN The vicinity Of the saloon; parting drinks
quickly interchanged; teams We're obtained
and carriages occul led, and they wheeled
around INTO the read from the entrance the
picturesque verictY OF the scene was greatly in
creased and with good humor, evidenced In laugh

Hamilton Park was numbered with the many that
have thus gone before IL.
