for the entire two days since the cess ALUM
of the rain. II was gratifying, however 10
notice that "beautys corner" was hos
vacant. that portion Of the grand s'anu
being radiant with the smiles OF the lar
sex who turned cut in large force 10 CON
tribute by their presty faces and bright
costumes to the gaiety Of the spectacle.
Among the notable features OF the day
are: FIRST, the favorite was beaten IN TWO
races out of three, and second, IN the last
race the first horse home lost his place by
reason of accidentally losing bis ballast and
not bringing back the same weight he car
ried out.
YTRST RACE.
Cape Race. John Mcdonald, Nellie K,
John Mccormick and King Benezet were
the entries for the mile dash. their names
being lere called az they stood in the pools
Cape Race sold for 500, against $3.50 for
the balance and the scale of popularity
standing about the same at ste bell ring.
Mcdonald was the first to leave home
closely followed by Nellie R.-but ere the
quarter pole was cleared he had fallen into
| the last place; Nellie T., first, Benezet
second. Mccormick third. Going Down
the back stretch the party got pretty near
| together, Mccormick. however, being the
| first TO show his colors at the halfmile
stake. Nellie &. now in the second place I,
! and Cape Race advanced 20 the third. The
balance of the race round the turn and
| Down the home stretch was, it may be said,
| confined to the three last named, the other
| two unconsidered. Cape Race stole in
| ahead of Nellie f., and made q most bril-
| liant fight near horne Tor the hrst place,
| but She effort came too late, Mccormick
| winning by little over half length, making
| the mile in l:5O. Time of the half mile 81.
Nellie X. reached home third, Mcdonald
fourth, and King Beneze! fifth. but the
last two were not placed.
SECOND RACE.
| For the mile heat race Frank Hampton
| was the favorite. very nearly against the
| field. Cottrill's entry second choice, o U
| third, Warwick's third, and Emma San
| sam a cheap horse. 1t took three heats to
decide this, bu. after al! the favorite came
! IL the winner, the second money to War
| wick, the third to ] Q e.
! Frs: Rca,-Emma Sansarl TOOK the lead,
was second at the quarter pole, third az
the half station, fourth at the three-quarter
| mile stand. and last n the finish, showing
that the farther sht went the worse she
| grew. 10 U was the fourth TO go Dy the
! iudges' stand at the tap Of the drum, and
| encouraged her friends into ia se hopes by
! appearing a, the quarter III the lead, and
| maintaining that place until halt of the
race was won; here, however, she began to
| show signs OF weakening, and was
! within one OF being the last TO arrive
! Mabry started or: oumbef i've and came
/ in a good number three while Hampton
| yas the second TO leave and with very
| little variation III position came under the
! string in the same position. Inc entire IN
| terest in the heat was centered IN Frank
| Hampton and the Planet colt, and the lat
7 ter gradually increased his pace as he pro-
! ceeAed around the track, making the main
| fight from the three-quarter pole, where he
| III she'd past one after another OF his OppC-
| ients and came home by not over half q
| neck ahead vi Hampton, passing the brown
! horse at the gate under whip and spur and
| making the mile in l:4gl2.
Second KeQ.-The betting now was
so1new what irregular, but Hampton still the
| fayorite. Sansam war the first 70 take her
I
| wick the last. No material alteration Oc-
| Cured in positions until going down the
| back stretch, when the party became hud-
| died together Warwick and Hampton going
| bv the half mile station side by side, l u
| u in the background. From this out
| Hampton took tho lead and maintained it
to the finish, winning the heat easily under
Il canter by three good lengths over War
wicks entry I third, San5am fourth.
| Mabry last. Time--i.4S34.
Third He0t-All the rest having been sent
| 70 the stable, Frank Hampton and War
| wick & entry were the only starters. Hamp'
| ton took the lead and kept it, Warwick 5
| entry falling back all the way. and showing
| full i've lengths of daylight between his
nose and HamptOn's tail at the half mile.
| Hampton took the heat almost without 3
struggle, galloping home at biz leisure

three mile dash that the main betting was
