The weather to-day for racing was most unpro-
pitious. The morning broke with cloudy sky and
cold easterly wind, which was anything but
cheering to the lovers OF the turf who had been
waiting for the races. Sunday was delightful and
betokened a continuance Of fine weather, but dur
ing the night change came and gloom and dis
trust pervaded the entire community. Inquiries
were numerous at Barnum's the headquarters of
the racing men, whether the postponed racing
would be gone on with or another "lay over be the
decision Of the management. Not getting any sat-
isfactory information hacks were engaged and
by eleven O'Clock large numbers were on the
roads to Pamlico. AS the coaches passed up the
leading streets it became presumable that the
races would be rum and before the hour OF start
ing the stands and the field were crowded. Had
the day been fine 1t Is fair to believe from the num-
ber present that there would have been more
people at the track than were ever before wit
messed in Maryland on any similar occasion. AS 1t
was, with drizzling rain and chilly wind, the at
tendance can be termed grand. The track was
terribly heavy, but the time made was capital
under the circumstances 1t was day OF dis
astrous defeat to the hackers Of the favorites
Every one Of the four were Observation-Disclosures In
the first, Buckden in the Second Sanford In
the third, and Preakness In the last contest
The latter was the worst defeat OF them all, as
every one supposed that Preakness was respect
able racehorse. He. however, changed the minds
of those who had believed him capable Of running
four miles and repeating by coming in third the
first heat and by being distanced in the second.
Tubman could have distanced the field in either
heat beyond doubt He was never called on to
extend himself during the race, running with his
head down and mouth open under hard pull
throughout both heats The first race that came
or was free handicap, dash of two miles; the
hoc Of mil fhn bird
selling race Of one mile and the fourth race, the
Bowie Stakes, four mile heats.
