THE RACING.

this meeting, and the weather was delicious. Good
racing and fast time were looked for, and no one
was disappointed, as every race was "done
quickly" Three races were run, the FIRST being o
dash Of three-quarters Of mile by two-year- ODDS;
the second, mile and an eighth by three-year-
olds and the third, dash of mile and three
quarters for all ages All the races were satisfac-
tory events, particularly to the winners. There
were "wry faces" when Experience Oaks
won the second race, she being considered
Of SO little account In the race that
one hundred to three was about the odds In the
pools, and in the Paris Mutuel machine they
ground out $24s rs for every IS invested The last
race was won by Mary Louise, who won the selling
race yesterday afternoon, and was sold to Mr..
Hale OF Boston. for $1,000 5000 going to the asso-
citation and 5000 to the second horse. The gentle
man won more than he paid for the mare.
In the first race there were twenty-nine entries
but only four starters. These were Hunter & Ira
vers' imported black colt Strachino, by Parmesan
dam May Bell; A. BelmOnt's chestnut colt Count
d'Orsay, by Kentucky, dam Lady Blessington; W.
W. Glenn's chestnut colt Merodoc, by Australian,
dam Ada Cheatham, and D. D. wither's imported
bay colt BY Marsyas, dam Marchioness. by The Mar
Quis. The stake amounted to $2,260. The colts
were all Of the finest types Of the thorough
bred racer, and seldom II ever have we seen
four 80 beautiful in race. Mr. Belmont's
and Hunter Travers colts sold for even money
just before the start, and they came in FIRST and
second, Belmonts winning. The time Of the race
was not as good as was anticipated. The winner is
nne chestnut, about fifteen three, with a star In
his forehead and white fore foot. He started
in the Saratoga stakes at the last meeting, but
was kicked by Cora Linn and did not get place.
