and Jennie Mckinney the slick one at Sl1.
FIRST HEAT.-Jennie Mckinney took
the lead, Eland second, Flush last. At tie
first quarter Flush had crowded up from
third to first by neck, and Jennie McKin-
ney had dropped back from first to last. At
the half mile Flush and Eland were even,
three lengths in advance of Jennie. There
was but little change until the first mile
was reached, when Flush appeared a
length ahead of Eland and the latter ten
lengths in advance of Jennie. At the next
quarter Flush led by three lengths, and
from that point continued to open the gap
gradually, passing the string ten lengths
ahead of Eland, and the latter two lengths
beyond Jennie. The first mile was made
in l.52a and the heat in 50 81 z,
SECOND HEAT.-Flush of course was a
still greater favOrite than before. Jennie
Mckinney managed to get off first again,
with Flush and Eland abreast. At the
quarter Eland had left his company far in
the rear, being fully seven lengths ahead.
This position was not materially changed
throughout the first mile which was made in
1851. Then Flush commenced moving up,
and by the time another half mile was
reached had reduced the daylight between
her aud Eland TO one length. Eland no
doubt being too closely pressed for comfort,
again at the three quarter post, opened the
gap to four lengths ahead Of Flush, Jennie
Mckinney at this point being out of the
race. Eland down the home stretch in
creased his speed, and came to the score
ten lengths in advance, and Jennie dis
tanced. Time, $3.50.
This unexpected result caused no little
excitement, and the hackers of Flush gave
her up, and in order to hedge off bought
largely on Eland at $40 to $50.
THIRD HEAT.-the contestants got an
even start. At the quarter Flush was neck
in the lead, and the same position at the
half. AT the three quarters Eland had gone
to the front by three lengths, and at the
first mile was ten lengths ahead. Eland
maintained leading position Throughout
passing the string an easy winner, Flush
bearly saving his distance. The first mile
in 1899 and the heat in $500.
SECOND RACE.
This was mile and a half dash, with
four entries. Morlacchi was by large odds
the favorite, the pools selling as follows:
Morlacchi $3.50, Double Out S55, Field S27.
MOrlacchi led from the start, and at no time
in the race was at haiiing distance, coming
to the score in q canteT, and an easy winner
in .59t-tirst mile 1.5S.
THIRD RACE.
The third race was mile heats for beaten
horses, with five to start, the pools being
knocked down as follows: Sally Newton
$50, Aneroid S5l, Keno so, Graham Nc
Marry So, Lavergne $40.

rOid, Lavergne, Graham MeNairy, Sally
Newton, Keno. At the quarter Sally led
by length, three punched, and Keno last.
At the half mile Sally maintained the same
leading position, Graham second and the
rest punched. Reaching the three quarter
pole, Keno had craWled up TO a half length
in the rear of Sally, and showed that he
meant business, Lavergne, AnerOid and
Graham MCNairy TJning at tandem in the
order named. Down The home stretch,
Keno passed to the front, and reached the
score q length ahead of Aneroid, who,
during the last part of the struggle, had
determined to put in an appearance.
Time 1:55.
Keno now became the favorite, selling at
$500 to SO on AnerOid, Sally Newton $50,
Layergne S39, and Graham MeNairy Sc.

point in the race, for the winner of the last
| heat was indeed the favorite, selling at S140
to $50 on Keno, and S37 on the field.

and continued throughout gaining ground,
