THIS mas been denghtful day Tor sports Of the
turf the atmosphere being pleasant and the track
in magnificent order. Three events were on the
card, the first being the Traver's Stakes one mile
and three-quarters; the second sweepstakes, Tor
!, all ages, and the third the Flash Stakes for two
year-Olds, half mile.
The Traver's Stakes closed with seyenty-eipht
entries, seven of which came to the post, These
were w. w. Glenn's chestnut colt Merodac, by
Australian, dam Ada Cheatnam; August Belmont's
chestnut colt Count d'Orsay, by Kentucky dam
Lady Blessington; Odin Bowels bay colt CatesDy
by Eclipse dam Katie; D. Mcdaniel h Co.'s chest
nut colt Springbok, by Australian, dam Hester; NJ
A. Littell's chestnut colt Fellowcraft, by Aus
tralian dam Aer0lite; G. H. Rice 4 Co.'s chest
nut colt John Mccormack, by Hiawatha dam
Rapid Ann; R. w. Cameron's chestnut
colt by bennington, dam Rebecca Clark
Grinstead's bay colt Waverley, by imported
Australian, dam imported Cicily Jobson; Peter
Loriard's chestnut colt Free Lance, by Kentucky,
dam Parachute, ana H. p. McGrath's bay colt Tom
Bowling, by Lexington, dam Lucy Fowler. Spring
box was the favorite the night before, but Tom
Bowling had the call this morning. Count D,Orsay
sold well In the pools but he would not run after
the nag Tell and was lett at the post. Springbok
fell down as he entered the homestretch on the
last quarter Of a mile and Tom Bowling had an
easy victory. Complaint was made that Tom
down, and the judges gave this charge thorough
investigation and finally came to the conclusion
that Springbok was not interiered with at all and
gave the race to whom 1t rightly belonged
Tenn Bowling. There is no question that
Tom Bowling had Springb0k beaten at thus point
as he showed all the way for half o mile that he
could shake on Springb0k whenever he chose. 1t
was great pity, however, that Sprngbok FELL
for many Of his friends will still cling to the belief
that he Is better colt than the great son OF Lex
ington and Lucy Fowler. Jimmy Roe was con.
siderably bruised and injured, but no bones were
broken. Waverley came in second ana Merodsc
third This was very exciting AFFAIR throughout.
The sweepstakes had fourteen entries four of
which came to the post. These were D. Mcdaniel
b Co.'s chestnut colt Joe Daniels, by Amster-
dam, dam Dolly Garter, years old; M. A.

Dolly Morgan, years old; Hunter h Traver's
imported black colt Strachino, by Parmesan, dam
May Bell, years DID, and Carroll Coar's brown
horse Ortolan by Donerail, dam Canary Bird, 9
years old. McDaniers entries were great favorites
over the field, 1t having been intended that the
famous Harry Bassett should start in the race but
Jimmy Roe's accident kept that famous horse in
the stable. The contest was one OF the finest how
ever, that was ever Witnessed this or any other
track in the country. Joe Daniels and Strachno ran
race. The Confederacy received q second terrible
fall. Ortoan was third, Wizard fourth.
