THE RACING.


Of last night and fast time was not anticipated
The first race, however, was a good one, as Mr.
withers' bennington fllly, Elsie, ran mile in
1:461s, beating Ortolan and q field of six
others. There were three races, in two OF which
the favcrites were beaten and the heavy betters
fell heavily. McDaDiel's stable won twice during
the day-a twoyear-old one by Katy Pease, and
two miles with Hubbard. Taken as q whole the
racing was not satisfactory TO the spectators, as
the masses always look for fast time, and are not
satisfied without they get it, no matter what
obstacles stand in the way. Hubbard, the
winner OF the sweepstakes for three-year-olds,
has been an unfortunate horse for his
owners, having won but one race, and that was a
three-quartermile dash, when two years old, which
was the July Stakes at Monmouth Park, beating
three Others He is fine formed colt, fifteen
hands three inches high, with two white feet and q
star, and although the race was slow, he ran on
the heavy, as II he could have done much better
had he been called on.

the first choice in the pools, Franklin's
entries the second choice, until the judges decided
that London could not start without putting up 100
pounds, the penalty for winning over $4,000. This
Captain Moore refused to do, at the time saying
that lis pounds all the horse was compelled to
carry. All the pools then were declared OF, and
betting was done on the others, Franklin entries
being great favOrites Buckden being second choice.
Hubbard third. The latter won the race easily
Buckden second, Nevada third.
