SECOND DAY.

e. SANDY HILL, n. Y, May ~.
! SECOND DAY.
The second day of the races at Wash
ington Park has been unfaverable: All
last night the rain poured down in tor
rents There was no sunshine during
the forenoon, and at about 2 p. m. the
clouds thickened, with occasional
sprinkles of rain during the remainder
of the afternoon Yet, in spite of these
drawbacks, much larger number of
spectators were present than yesterday.
The grand stand was nearly filled, and
the track was lined with carriages, in
which were many ladies, who braged
the inelemency of the weather.
The track was in fair condition, get
ting trife heavy toward the close. ..
Pool selling was not as brisk as yes
terday. Glens Falls was well repre-
sented.
AS yesterday there were two purses to
be trotted for. The first was purse of
$8O0-$300 to the first, 5000 to the sec
ond, and 800 TO the third horse.
