Flush and Repeater Winners.
The races advertised to take place yester-
day over the course of the Nashville Blood
Horse Association attracted fair crowd.
The first was match, two mile heats, be-
tween Double Out and Flush. The latter
was the favorite two to one.
First heat-Flush started out with a
length the advantage, but before making
the first turn, Double Out took the lead and
the track. There was no change in posi-
tions for the first mile, Double Out passing
under the string aeont half length in ad-
vance. Without any change whatever, they
kept on to the home stretch, when Flush
came up even, and soon passed to the front,
winning the heat with ease. Time, $500.
Second heat--Double Out took the lead,
and passed the first mile some three lengths
aRhead. He apparently had an easy going
thing of it until the home stretch was
reached, when Flush repeated her former
experiment, passing with ease, aud win
ming the heat and the race. Time, 3:511.
SECOND RACD.
The second race was also two mile heats,
with Evelyn Mabry, Repeater and Mid
night as contestants.
Evelyn Mabry was by large odds the IA
vorite, Repeater second choice and Mid
night selling for a mere song.
FIRST HEAT-Repeater led from the
start, and opened gap of six or eight
lengths, both of his opponents showing no
disposition to make even an effort for the
first mile-Repeater passing under the
string fully six lengths in advance, with
Mabry and Midnight at lock. Then Ma
bry commenced crawling up little, but
Repeater managed to keep very respecta-
BILE distance in the lead until reaching the
home stretch. The struggle for the last
hundred yards was quite exciting, but Re-
peater held his own, and came out winner
by half length. Time 3:478.
Notwithstanding the result of this heat,
Evelyn continued to be favorite, sie pool
being booked at $40 for Evelyn, $32 for
Repeater and 81 for Midnight.
SECOND HEAT.-MidDight led off hand
somely, Repeater second in position and
Mabry third. Over mile and half was
without any change, and just as the lockers
on from the stand were beginning to sing
out: "Midnight's got the heat" Mabry
commenced moving up at lively rate, and
came alongside of Repeater. at the last
quarter the three were abreast and passed
into the home stretch in that position.
Then commenced struggle between Re-
peater and Mabry for the heat, the latter
winning by half a length. Time 3.47a.
Pools were now sold at $40 on Mabry
and S. on the field, and considerable
money changed hands in that portion.
THIRD HEAT.-Midnight again took the
lead, Repeater second and Mabry third.
At the end of the first mile Repeater came
to the front, with Mabry in the second po-
sitiOn, and closely pressing. Reaching the
home stretch Mabry came up even, and the
opinion prevailed that she would pass to the
front without any trouble, but she didn't
do any such thing. We can prove that by
Repeater, who got there first. Time $500.
