SUSIE AND LUCY TIE WRITER'S,

fagansett FaIk, as the bright sunshine oil this
morning more than compensated for the annoy
ance to which the pluvial god then subjected
anxious TURTLES and ali Others wishing to attend
the races. The day could not have been more
suspicious. ana Oil heartily enjoyed IT, The drive
70 the grounds was as exhilarating rs bumper
OF Roderer, and many lair faces, with charming
figures bright eyes and cherry lips, be-
hind clipping teams, INDUCED in this method
OF speeding along the sylvan shades OF Elmwood to
the scene OF interest. There were greater number
present than on Tuesday and Wednesday combined,
ana once more park looked like It's former self.
The grand stand was comfortably filled. the lawn
well sprnkled ana the spacious opening between it
and the stables black with carriages. 1t cannot be
denied, however, that the present meeting has
been somewhat unfortunate, both i'll the
fields OF contestants and the attendance,
when compared with previous reunions. To
deny this ana make false statements with the design
OF misleading Displays both poor judgment and lack
OF truthfuness. Notwithstanding this the trottipg
has been OF an exciting and capital nature and
OF the struggles worthy OF being placed among
the noted exhibitions Of speed ana endurance on
record.
Again to-day II was demonstrated that nothing is
certain on The turf, and for .'ways that
are dark and tricks that vanY tro..
ting horse Is peculiar. The gentry who invest
their money literally on favorites were fearfuly
mistaken in The FIRST race and they lost punches of
greenbacks when II really seemed that they had the
game i'll their own hands. Poor New York's repre-
senratlves were The heaviest losers.
