| AT THE DRIVING PARK.-Saturday afternoon
the driving park park was for the second time,
thrown open to the public and a programme
| consisting of five races offered as free enter
tainment The races were all between horses
owned by members of the club, and the contest
was merely friendly one Three of the races
were to ordinary road wagons, one TO sulkies
and one for running horses under the saddle
| The attendance was considerably larger than on
| the opening day, the seats being about half
| filled, while the west side of the home stretch
was lined with gay turnouts, many of them
being filled with ladies who apparently took
great interest in the friendly trials of speed be-
| tween horses that are so well known. No official
time was taken, yet the watches that were held
in the judges stand indicated remarkably fast
time for heavy track.
The first race was for horses to road wagons
mile heats, best two in three, for which there
were the following entries: Dick Swiveer by
II. b. Very, Soda Bill by Geo. +. Hewett, Mel
lie by VIM. Warren, and Nell by Z. W. Well
ington. In the first heat Dick Swiveller went
to the front on the first turn, and held his lead
through the mile, trotting without skip, and
winning the heat by several lengths; Sodo Bill
second, Nell third, Nellie fourth The second
heat was nearly "a repetition of the first, Dick
Swiveler taking the lead and holding it to the
end, showing better speed than in the first heat.
Soda Bill was second, Nellie third, and Nell
last
Inc second race was also TO road wagons and
| proved to be one of the very best races ever
trotted on the park, the speed shown by A. P.
Richardson's mare, who was suffering from a
sore mouth, indicating that when she was in
good condition that she would trot very fast
race. The contesting horses were entered by the
following parties: Dolly Warden by A. F. Rich
ardson, Flora by W. c. Clark, George by Chas.
b. Pratt, and Lady Wilston by M. L. Shattuck.
In the first heat George led until near the three
quarter pole, where he was passed by Flora and
Dolly Warden, the latter going to the front on
the run, these positions being maintained
to the flush, with Lady Willislon, who was act
ing badly, way behind Dolly Warden was set
back TO the third position for running,
and the heat given to Flora. In the sec
ond heat Dolly Warden went to the
front on the fist turn and held
her position to the end of the heat, trotting
beautifully aud at times at better than forty
gait. Flora second, George third and Lady Will
liston fourth. In the third heat Dolly Warden
trottcd as fast as in the second, and came under
the wire a winner by two lengths, greeted with
applause by the spectators. The other horses
came in in the same positions as in the second
heat.
The next race was for running horses the
contestants being the horses owned by p. Dover
