THE LAST DAY-BAD WEATHER AND BAD
TRACK-THREE RACES. NEVERTHELESS.
.- (By telegraph to the Sentinel
CAMBRIDGE CITY, Indiana, June 5.-A terri
BILE rain storm to-day did no good for the
races, after the running race, which came
first, and was very pretty. The rain poured
down almost necessarily till the close. and
the crowd was somewhat disappointed at
not seeing Red Cloud trot, as he was here
and ready TO trot for a purse, nj
one had been offered. The race for
which he was entered wanted one
to fill, and the other two horses signified
a willingness TO go. The judges made sew
eral very bad blunders in starting two OF
the races, which caused considerable dissat-
isfscJion among the pool buyers. The
meeting is considered big success Tor the
association. The FIRST was the run ning
race. free for all. Nellie Grimsall was the
great fayorite in the pools, Survey
being second; the field brought prices that
varied as certain buyers came near the sale,
and it was evident that the field had many
friends. In the start Nellie had a slight
advantage. But at the quarter Wargig
came along side and the position was held as
dead lock 20 halt way home on the
quarter struck when Wargig. by hard
struggle, took the heat in Las by hall
length. Lightfoot flew the track and threw
his rider, but did small damage. lime,
l:45. Second notwithstanding Wsrgg
took the heat very neatly, Nellie
was first in the pools against
the field. Considerable betting on
the outside of the pool box was INDUCED
in, and the heat was considered as certain
for Nellie. Wagig this time held small
per cent. the best of the start, but all well
no. He held the position to the judges
stand At the quarter pull Nellie fell be-
hind the field, but by magnificent work
came home but two lengths behind Wagig
who won the heat and race in l:46.
