Park looked worry gloomy yesterday morning. |
pondorous dun clouds doomed low overhead |
showing IN fmmonao capacity of alowortng down |
heavily at a moments notice. Tho ride to tho
park, with tho impending prospect Of anothof |
vet day, waa choor1oss In tho c1tremo. Nobody |
soemcd to be going to tho racos, mud, on arriving
1t the park, 1t wna apparent that very 10" had
lono so. No t1ag was flying, md tho natural
deduction that no rncos Tete to ho run In tho
morning was tho correct one, md the report
gninod ground TINT tho forenoon races had boon
postponed until o'clock this morning, d |
most inhuman hour at which to bring out
etlor mon or horsos. Tho only mon
who seemed to boar up undor tho oircum-
STANCES were tho reporters, whose spirits 1oso
et tho unusually bright prospect Of o morning
apcnt In blissful idlonoss and tho luring Of tho
dolco for monte. The Club Secretary, Mr. simp-
Bon, wandered listloss]y hither and thither,
trying to talk good tcmpor into tho moro
grumpy Of tho disappointed, while Con Cheat
ham spent tho morning explaining all about TINT
last hoat III tho handicap race Of the day before.
Considerable interest waa excited by the appear

worry favorable criticism. Tho well-known trot-
-
tremendous gait, WIS also commented upon very
highly, as was also worry handsome
Nashville gray goldiug, Nelson By name.
During the morning tho monotony was
relieved by a controversy regarding tho
pedigree Of 4 certain marc. After hnlf m hours
excited talk, the arguors discovered that they
had not tie samo animal in view when the argu-
mont commenced, but this lttlo discrepancy did
not atay tho controversy, which finally closed
with mutual concessions, by which, II the al
1owanceB on both Hidos woro duly weighed aud
o1aminod it would appcar TINT tho mare In
question was her own grandfather, and combined
tho qualities Of all tho best trotting atrains Of
the country.
