Thoro was a better attendance at the races at
Forest CITY Park yesterday than the day be-
fore but not half so many patrons of the turf
were present as should have been, for the races
were very interesting, and excepting the silly
and annoying scoring, which is the one great
defect of track practice, We're entirely satsfac-
tory. Two purses were offered; $15O for 81
class, and 800 for 245 class. The larger
purse was called first and out of field of elev-
en- horses entered five only appeared; the blk
Wagram by Charles Records, Boston; b Slash
er, driven by Sam Jacobs; g G Meddlesome,
Coombs, driver; br m Gentle Annie, w orcester,
and br Mumm, driven by HaineS. Their posi-
tons were insthe above order In the first heat
Wagram got the best send off, but on the back
stretch he was pressed by Meddlesome, with
Slasher on his wheel, Mumm and Annie two
lengths apart; but at the half mile Mumm,
Meddlesome and Wagram were in bunch,
Mumm little ahead, running, Meddlesome in
the centre and Wagram almost abreast They
came to the score, Mumm ahead, closely fol-
lowed by Annie, Wagram, Meddlesome and
Slasher. 1t was splendid heat, and with the
exception of Mumms break there was scarcely
a skip. Time 2.45.
The second heat followed Immediately. The
horses got fair sene-off and at the back stretch
things looked mixed, and kept SO until the close
of the half mile when the horses all came down
in bunch, Meddlesome and Wagram jumping,
but on the back stretch Mumm drew ahead aud
for little while it was handsome line race,
but on the home stretch the horses got together
and four of them came to the score in bunch,
with Slasher behind; Mumm leading, and An
ME little ahead of Wagram. The heat was
given to Mumm in 2.454.
A heat was given to the other horses and then
came the third heat of this class. Wagram
managed to get the lead again. but Mumm be-
gan to crowd him ON the back stretch, with
Meddlesome third. On the second round Med
dlesome colared Mumm and passed him, and
made it a close race for all the horses Mumm
came to the score running, with Meddlesome
abreast, trotting square, and the judges gave the
last horse the heat in 24Sb
In the fourth heat Meddlesome had the POLE
At the quarter post Wagram and Mumm were
neck and neck, just behind, and passed him ON
horses came down in this position SO close that
it was difficult to see any difference, while Wag
ram crowded in behind, with Slasher on his
wheel, Annie capering fourth. The time was
2.49 but the judges declared it a dead heat.
Annie was set outside for running across Slash
er on the home stretch.
This race will be concluded this morning at
10 o'clock; the postponement being necessary
in consequence of the lateness of the hour.
