but they were not satisfied until they ar
rived on the ground, and found quite 4
large crowd of elegant ladies and gen
tlemen at the "Relay," grouped around
a table on which sat sparkling cham
payne, furnished by Black, the Prince
of caterers. The President, Col. Keesee,
made u clever and. appropriate lit
tie speech, and among other
things, stated that the choice Of name
for the park had been left To one Of our
beautiful bellies, aud she had n1nIed il
"Belleview." The champagne was then
disposed OF, and the crowd took to their
buggies, and soon the track vas the
scene of exciting races.
