turfman was on the ground and was among
the chief rejoieers. He said that he could
| trace bis pedigree back to Baalam's ass, and
he knew it was all right. During the race
| the winner carried two pounds over weight,
and is altogether an animal worth having
| particularly when in the hands of his pres
ent experienced trainer, Geo. Rice, with the

| SECOND RACE.
The second race was two mile dash, in
which Barney Williams was at one time
| the favOrite, and then Morlachi, Graham
| McNairy being third choice, and Nathan
Oaks, Josephine and Bay Tom being sold
in the field for mere song. All the ami
mails were apparently in good condition,
except Barney Williams, who showed signs
| of lameness. There was good start, and
Graham McNairy took the lead, and kept it
for the first mile which was made in 1:482s,
Barney Williams passing under the string
second, Nathan Oaks, third There was tut
| little change in position until another halt
mile was reached, when the contestants
were all in a heap, and so iumbled up that
it was hard to tell which had the advant-
age. At the three quarter post, last mile,
the struggle narrowed down between Bar
ney Williams and Nathan Oaks, and a
closer or more spirited engagement we have
never seen. They ran at dead lock for
nearly the entire last quarter, and passed
under the string so close together that it
required alone the decision Of the judges to
decide which was which. After some de-
liberation the judges gave the race to Ma
than Oaks. Time 3:42.
THIRD RACE.
This was mile and quarter dash, with
six entries, all of which started. Wanderer
and Keno were alternately favorites, Ari-
iona being for most of the time third
choice. In this contest Sally Newton start
ed out as if she intended to win, and kept
lin advance for nearly mile, when Arizona
passed rapidly to the front, and won the
race by length. Time 2:143.
