AT THE RACE TRACK.
The heavy rains of the preceding
night very materially interfered with
yesterdays per formances at the racing
grounds. The chill air kept many
ladies from the races and The heavy
track caused many of the sterner sex
to forego the pleasures of the promised
trials of speed. The attendance was
about as large as on Monday; had
the elements been favorable, at least
twice as many would have been on
the grounds. To-day the track will be
in first-class condition and big
crowd may be expected as the races
for the day promise to be of unusual
interest.
THE FIRST RACE
Was for trotters, free to all three-y year
olds, mile heats to harness, best two
in three, for a purse of $500; $3.50 to
first, $50 to second and $40 to third.
The entries were as follows:
l.. J. Rose enters b. e. Tommy
Gates, sire the Moor, dam unknown.
Oscar Macy enters blk. m. Morri-
tea, sire the Moor, dam unknown.
White Feet, another son of the Moor,
had been entered by Lawyer Sanford,
but did not put in an appearance at
the call from the judges stand.
Before the horses had been called to
the scratch the pools sold in Tommy
Gates favor at odds of $40 to $l5. The
mare won the pole and fair start
was secured. After an even and capi-
tai race around the first turn Tommy
Gates went to the front, making the
first quarter in AZ seconds, and at least
twenty yards in advances. The half
mile was made in 1:25, without any
change in the position of the contes-
tants. The mare made strenuous ef-
forts to close the gap, but the bay in
creased the distance and went under
the pole at least twenty lengths in adj
vance. Time 1920.
The hackers of Morritea did not
come to the front after this heat, as it
was clearly manifest that Tommy
Gates, who has trotted mile in '4S,
had a sure thing on first money. On
the second heat, Tommy Gates to the
pole, Morritea started out slightly in
advance, but the gelding closed in on
her and shot ahead, passing the quar-
ter pole several lengths in advance.
This gap was maintained until on the
last quarter when Tommy Gates
made excellent speed, going under the
wire just about as far ahead OF the
mare as in the first heat, thus securing
both heats and the race. Time 3:l9.

THE RUNNING RACE
Was the next in order, free for all
three-year-olds raised and owned in
the District; mile heats, best two in
three, for purse of $30O-$1S0 to first,
$50 to second and $40 to third.
In the pool selling Regent was the
favorite at long odds. The entries
were as follows:
Geo. A. Johnston enters b. C. Re-
gent, by Lodi, dam Eva Coombs.
B. f. Bragg enters b. f. Nellie Gray,
by Tenbroeck, dam unknown.
John d. Young enters $. 6. Shark, by
Gray's Stark, dam unknown.
VIM. r. Rowland enters blk. C. Care
less, by Tenbreck, dam unknown.
Regent secured the position at the
pole, Shark next, Careless next ana
Nellie Gray on the outside. Regent
on the start shot ahead, the other
three we'll locked close behind; at the
ouarter-pole Shark shot ahead and at
the half-mile was side by side with
Regent and these two had good and
close run to the third quarter, when
Regent shot ahead and passed the
score about three lengths in advance
of Shark Careless third and Nellie
fourth, both about a length behind
Shark. Time, 1:544.
The pluck of Shark was exceedingly
gratifying to his hackers, but at the
pools Regent was still the favorite at
odds of $50 to $S on the field. The
second call was sounded and the
horses went off in good style. At the
quarter pole Careless was in the front
but all close together and at the half
mile three of them were in bunch,
with Nellie in the rear. Here Regent
shot to the front and maintained the
lead to the goal, coming in several
lengths ahead, although Shark and
Careless, spurred by the whip, made
good run to the home base. Time,
1:54a.
Shark, it is reported, by some mis-
take, carried thirty-three pounds extra
weight on this heat. The judges gave
second money to Shark on the ground
that Careless rider had been guilty of
foul riding. They maintained that on
rounding the first turn Careless, being
next to the outside, had cut in and Sc
cured the pole. in so doing shortening
the stride of both Regent and Shark
and materially impeding the progress
of these two horses.
