BEACON PARK.
Third Day Of the Spring Trot'
ting Meeting.
Immense Throng Of Visitors to
Witness the Sport.
Whalcb0Fse and Goldsmith Maid
the Winners.

| BOSTON, June %, 1871.
| The trottng to-day brought out an immense
| throng Of New Engand's sons and daughters
| about ten thousand-the feature OF the sport to
! them being the contest between Goldsmith Maid.
American Girl, Lucy and George Palmer; and there
IS such desire all over the land to witness speed
that wherever these horses appear they are sure to
attract large crowd to them no matter In
what section OF the country ID may be.
| Yankees generally fast, and they are
| all lovers OF fast horses. They seem to care
ltlle however, which horse wins, and as
they have no favorte they seldom back the horses
engaged; and hence pool selling in this part OF the
country is not very profitable business to embark
in. There was an exception to this rule to-day,
however. as the pool room was crowded by specula-
tors during the trots.
Besides the above mentioned race, another that
had It's attractions came OIL. This was between
horses that had never beaten TWO minutes and
thirty seconds, which had twelve entries, eight
OF them coming to the scratch when called for,
and they made race, so far as close contention
and speed for their class were concerned, much
superior to the others in the first trot Royal John
was so great avorite that lie was sold for two TO
over the field. The other horses in some OF the
pools were sold without him. Charley Green then
had the call any other horse in the race and in
many instances sold for as much all the others
combined In the sales without Royal Jonn. Whale
bone was the second choice and Belle OF Toronto
the third, the others being Jumped as field.
IN THE BIG TROT
Goldsmith Maid was excluded from the pool sales,
and American Girl sold for tribe more than Lucy
and Palmer together.
The horses that entered IN the first trot were

purses weGe to be awarded to the three best horses
in the rec which was mile heats best three in five,
IN harness. Whalebone to the surprise Of his owner
and many others who knew him best, won The race
In most excellent time. Royal john took the second
prize and Climax the third.
The names OF the horses that started in the big
racer 1t was called, are given above. The race
was won, as every person supposed 1t would be be-
fore they entered the track, by Goldsmith Maid,
Lucy taking the second premium ana Famer the
third. American Girl was taken III during the nrst
heat, and was allowed to be Withdrawn oy inc
judges after she had been examined by veteri-
marian. This was very unsatisfactory race to tho
multitude who came expressly 10 see wonderful
time made by these famous horses, and murmurs
were uttered by thousands they left the track for
their homes. There should be some way OF COM
pelling these horses to SHOW their best uuc IN all
races.
