The first race yesterday was a three mile
dash for Association purse Of $500, in
which there were three entries, The pool
selling throughout on this race was about
as follows: Annie B, 500; Euchre, 1856;
Bay Tom, $l9. 1
| At the appointed hour, all three of the
contestants came to the score, slightly dis
| figured, but still in the ring. The nags
seemed to have proper appreciation of
the condition Of things after galloping around
few minutes for exercise, and if either
one Of the trio was ''eager for the fray"
we could not perceive it. There was no
cavorting or prancing around as on the day
previous, and the animals in fact when watt
ing for orders, appeared as docile as steers
after hard days work 1t required but
little to give them the 60 on their
long journey. At the start, Euchre led,
pressed closely by Annie B.,
with Bay Tom third. At
the first quarter Euchre was two lengths
ahead of Bay Tom and Annie B. fully six
lengths in the rear. The same position
was kept to the half and three-quarter
posts, and but little change at the mile
which was made in 1852. There was no
material change in position until another
half nile was reached, when ANNE b.
snapped places with Bay Tom. At the end
Of the second mile which was made in
9:513, Euchre still led Annie B. by a neck,
and Bay Tom at this point was virtually
out of the race. AT the next quarter An
ME B. passed to the front, with length to

gap throughout, passing the string six
lengths in advance of Euchre, with Bay
Tom full eighth of mile in the rear.
Time 5:53.
Immediately after the race, it was as
certained that Euchre had sprained her
shoulder badly, and was so lame from the
effects Of the injury, that she will not be
able to get home for week, or probably a
longer periOdl
SECOND RACE.
The second race was mile heats, best
three in five for an Association purse of $500
with five entries. Quartermaster was
hVorite, being knocked down at $50 as a
starter, while Wanderer brought $40, Ari-
IONA $36, and the Field S13.
FIRST HEAT-Pratt's entry took the lead,
with Wanderer second, and Quartermaster
third. At the quarter Pratt still led by two
lengths, Wanderer and Quartermaster even,
Mathews entry fourth, land Arizona last.
At the half mile Quartermaster, Wanderer
and Pratt were punched, and Arizona had
crawled up and passed Matthews. The only
change at the three-quarter was Arizona in
the third position, with Quartermaster and
Wanderer even just ahead of her. At this
jncture Arizona passed rapidly to the
front, and Matthews followed suit far
enough to get the second position, and thus
they passed under the string, Arizona being
declared the winner of the heat in 1:54I.
The result of the above heat made Arizo-
ma favorite, but the hackers of Quarter
master were still confident and accepted the
small odds cheerfully.
SECOND -Wanderer got the start
this time, with Arizona second. At the
quarter Arizona and Wanderer were neck
and neck, QuarteTmaster evidently pushing
for the company of the foremost. The lat
ter here makes a handsome dash, and at
the half mile is a neck in advance of Ari-
IONA, and the latter two lengths ahead of
Wanderer, Pratt being virtually out of the
race. At the three-quarter pole, Quarter
master LED Arizona by a length and a half,
but the latter now commenced picking up,
and was soon alongside the foremost.
Down the home stretch the struggle between
these two was close and exciting, and they
passed under the string so close together
that the decision of the judges was want
ing to tell the result of the heat. After
CONSULTATION the heat was given to Arizona.
fine, 1:5la. Pratt and Matthews dis
tanced.
THIRD HEAT.-Quartermaster led at the
start, Arizona second Apd Wanderer a good
third. At the quartaE arizona had locked
Quartermaster, but soon fell back, and
Quartermaster had the call at the half mile.
At the three quarter pole, the three are in
a heap, with no advantage for either. Then
the struggle commenced again between Ari-
Zona and QuartermsSter, the former how
ever managing to pass under the string a
neck in the lead. Time 1884.
[Quartermaster came to the stand after
the heat was over very lame, and his iniur-
les it is feared are serious and permanent ]
