Another fine day was yesterday for turf
snort. and another large attendance, in
Guiding a stand full of ladies, who always
add to the interest of such occasions.
The programme opened with the Mer-
chants Exchange stake for three year olds,
mile heats, in which contest there were six
to start, to-wit: Flush, Evelyne Mabry,
Warrenue, Malta, Fanny NJ, and Jenny
McKenny.
In this race Fanny M. was greatly the
favorite, selling at two to one over any 9TH
er named hOrse-Evelyn Mabry being
second choice, and Malta, Warrenne and
Flush about an even third.
The week so far has been remarkable
for the number of starters, and the char
rcter of the horses. In this field of six,
there was not one without strong hackers,
and leaving out the record Of Fanny NJ. at
Lexington, it would have required tall
guessing to name the winner.
FIRST HEAT.-The start was Egood
one, and as they passed around the first
turn, Flush was in the lead, Warrenne a
favorite fourth and the others tagging. At
the quarter Warrenne had snapped posi-
tons with Flush, and the others crawling
up. Upon reaching the half mile, there
was perfect bunch, and it was hard to
tell which had the advantage, but soon the
spirited little animal Evelyn Mabry showed
good foot and passed the three quarter pole
full length ahead of al. Then commenced
struggle in which Fanny NJ. took a
prominent part. Into the home stretch
they come, nip and tuck between the two
mentioned. Just before reaching the stand,
Fanny NJ. shot ahead and passed under the
| string the winner of the heat. Time 1.4694
SECOND HEAT.-Flush again led off at
| the start, aud upon reaching the quarter
was turned down by Malta. She found
more than she had bargained for, and grace
fully retired for Fanny NJ, who took the
| front place before reaching the half mile and
kept it until coming round the turn into the
| home stretch when Flush made q brilliant
dash, and again was in advance. The IA
vorite made every effort to get out first, but
Flush proved to be equal to the emergency,
and passed under the string half length
a head in 1:455, the best time ever made in
a second heat over our course.
Flush now became the favorite, and in
the pools brought $160 TO SIG on Fanny
NJ, and S3S on the field.
THIRD HEAT-Malita started off as if de-
termined to win, and kept the front rank
for half q mile, Flush second. At the three
quarter pole Flush was in the lead, Malta
second and Fanny NJ third. The latter
here made handsome brush and passed
TO the front, Flush in the mean time falling
back, and giving way for Malta and Mabr
to tackle the favorite. Down the home
stretch it was an interesting struggle be
tween Fanny 81 and Malta, but the former
touched home right side up with care
Time, 1:4Sa.
This proved to be one of the best an(
most exciting races Of the week, every hea
being closely contested.
SECOND RACE.
The second race was dash Of two mile
with Williamsburg, Eland, London, Bal
Tom, Bessie Lee and High Constable as thu
contestants. London was big favoritt
from the start, and as the result viii show
yorthily merited the honorable position il
which he had been named. Eland led fol
half mile, when London took the tracl
and kept it until near the end OF the frs
mile, when Eland passed to the front by
neck, and continued for another qua ter il
that position. Then London passed easil.
ahead, and for the balance Of the way hai
an easy thing of it, passing the string IN
der pull. Time 1891.

peater, Midnight, Village Blacksmith
Ouicksand, Richland, Bombshell, and Bal
ney Williams participated. Bombshell wa
