and the race won IN very short space or time.
This was very natural, for the racers were not
many and the distance was only mile and quar-

A PECULIAR SPECTATOR
An elderly gentleman in one OF the front benches
OF the ladies' stand sat beside the writer. He had
been looking about him with pleased expression,
and made several audible exclamations when any
thing particularly struck his fancy. Blueeyed
blonde or black-eyed brunette seemed equally
acceptable to his appreciative faculties. He car

sighted out charming group under the shade OF
the trees on the blun near the club house he fairly
chuckled with delight. AS the jockeys rode out to

his arms and closed his eyes. During the short

THE SECOND RACE
created very little excitement there being but two
horses and the favOrite winning. The Westchester
Cup race was fine contest, and from the interest

niger jock on his back, who, according to the
habit OF all young equestrians Of color, could not

The defeat OF True Blue was noticeable because OF
the fact that he was ridden by Haywood, OF San
ford's stable, and although he made a bad start
and was left behind ia the first half mile came in
second in handsome stye.

there was one more beautiful than the rest-a
silken, brOwn-haired maiden, with cheeks tinted
with young blood, and modest hazel eyes full OF
sense and sensbility. Her escort must have been
her brother for they scarcely moved or spoke since
taking their seats. No lovers could remain so long
silent; they had come evidently TO enjoy the rae
ing, as they seemed rather to shun than court OBJ
servation. There was one as busy as honey bee
