and Lady Emma the victors
in the Team Race.

The announcement that the clippers, Americas
Girl, Judge Fullerton and Camors, would appear
on the TRACK at the Prospect PARK Fair Grounds
for purse and stake OF 1000 drew together tnere
yesterday afternoon large assemblage OF turtles
and many gentlemen who do not make 1t a busi-
ness but seldom fail to be present at such exhibi-
tons OF speed. There were also on hand at the
CLUB House scores Of Brookyn's beauties, whose
fair faces lighted up with enthusiasm as the trot-
ting progressed. The day was unpleasantly breezy,
and all over the grounds men and women COM
planned OF 1.-The cold," and not few OF the more
tender went in doors "'tween heats" to warm be-
numbed fingers and readjust thick shawls and
wrappers Among the betting men-and the
cream OF the sporting world was on hand--therc
was unusual excitement. They remembered well
now the week before, when the same field or
horses were contending over the same track,
Fullerton was great fayorite, and. the Girl
proving the winner, many OF them came to grief;
and with this fact fresh in their memory they ven
tured cautiously at first but true to their nature,
became bolder and Doldef, making the Girl the IA
vorite at prices such as these :-American Girl,
$40; Fullerton, $ll5 Camors, Sis. When the Girl,
in her old fashioned way, won the first heat, cheer
upon cheer went up from balcony and stand, and
while the men prolonged their shouts as warm
ing influence the ladies waved their handkerchiefs
for the fun OF making demonstration. Unf0rtu-
natey for the partisans OF the Girl she won but the
nrst heat, Judge Fullerton scoring the second,
American Girl took the second prize and what was
left went to the owner OF Camors.
The team race that was sandW1cned win the
'.big eventn proved quite interesting, inasmuch as
there were five heats required to decide IT, IN the
second heat the eins OF Tyler and mate were broken
and the team diStanced, and in the Subsequent
heat neither FeeK nor Schenck, the drivers, hearo
the word "go,' and after speeding around tne
turn pulled up and came back, but friendly voices
bade them to continue, and amid mach laughter
they again faced the musicn and the winner
These Incidents with the otherwise excellent per-
formances, made the day quite enjoyable.
