Arizona and Quartermaster the win
ners.
Yesterday morning opened bright and
beautiful. and the atmosphere was brac1ng
and delightful, just coil enough for comfort.
Everything being acceptable as far as wealth
er was concerned, and the programme call
ing for two fac races, we were not aston
isbed in the least to find the large crowd
that assmbled on the course at the sppciHt-
ed hour. The ladies were out in large
numbers. Excluded from track priv eyes
on the first day in consequence OF the rain,
thew determined to Ike amends if posi-
HE for the loss of day, and appeared this
time in their strength, the stand furnished
exclusively for their comfort presenting a
brilliant appearances.
Half an hour previous to thu race, the
pool seller mounted the rostrum in the
pool stand, and in an eloquent manner DIS
coursed upon the virtues and fine racing
qualities of each animal in the first race,
and in a clear and distinct voice said, SHOW
much for first choice?" His open counte-
nance. polite manners, courteous bearing,
and winning smiles proved to be Irresistible,
and in 8 short space of time be had Gus
toner who went his pile on Arizona, who was
knocked down at $25. Lsmpi was second
favorite and commanded SIG, Darlington
beipg taken up at $40 and Dustan at 50. In
about this proportion large number OF
pools we're sold.
At two o'clock precisely, the bell tapped,
and the chargers made their appearance on
the course, all looking s yllsh and appar-
emily eager for the fray. The riders were
mounted and off they go on the
