THE RACES--TH1RD DAY.

Yesterday being the third and last day
,,hs races, the day on which the big
..s was to be put up. we thought that
=. would 60 down to the track in style.
90 We hired Mormon to take us down
asaa axe wagon. drawn by o spike
..n-tvo little mares, one Of which had
80, nv her side, that was the spike.
". cent all right, though not quite as
sS, as an express train. for about two
a;,ss At this point lay the mortal re-
lin. Of a defunct bovine. and one Of
=. mares took it in her head that she
IA no, want to go very near the bundle
.,honss. and turned short of on one
"a. 80 short that the tongue broke.
r,;. vakened the wrath of my hitherto
plra Mormon friend and he jumped
r ',,d and hammered the offending
.,d,uped at such a rate that it was evi.
liant he had no regard for the health and
b,npipess of the said quadruped or his
rocket. At this iuncture the stage came
s,or, and alter bidding our irate Saint
S Mos, odieu we mounted. Just as the
ataos started the said Saint demanded
S;s fare. We earnestly demonstrated and
.aIi him il was not fair to ask fare for
s,satinp down halfway from our desti.
Da,;on and babe him farewell even while
l la vas most unfairly asking for his fare.
So.,ed on the coach we got along nicely,
"a cached the track without further
s.sissut, Here we found larger crowd
%sn appesred on either OF the two pre-.
.ss5us dsys, while the stand was graced
br The presence Of a great number of
Isijes Pool selling for the two mile
NEE was going on briskly. Abb had the
esll though occasionally some of them
usfersd Flush.
The first event was match between
Col. Kenner's Wild Bill and Jot Travis
Tom Thumb, half-mile, best 2 in 8. The
ncs was won in two straight heats by
Tom Thumb. Time, 1:161 and l:15.
Soon after this was over, the course
vas cleared for the principal event OF the
nseting-the $l,250 purse, two-mile
beats. best in 5. There were three en-
tries and all of them appeared before the
jaigss' stand, viz:
Pny Brown names. ................s. m. Flush
" Travis .................b.s 8. Norfall
GI Ellison ....................b. m. Abb
Alter some little of the inevitable delay
bat attends, the horses got away fairly
together. Abb went to the front at once
and kept it much in the same manner
that she did the mile race. Norfall was
next, and Flush was evidently not a
full hand and brought up the rear.
They went in this order around the
course, making the first mile l :55. The
second heat took more time (246), but
the horses took the same relative posi-.
ton In coming on the second round,
the little mare was distanced, leaving the
race between Abb and the stallion. After
amoderate interval the horses were called
for the second heat, which was repeti-
tiOn Of the first; the mare winning heat,
race and money without the slightest
difficulty. She took the lead, held il
and distanced her competitor with ease.
Time, first mile, 1858; second, sc.
