ten O'Clock this morning, and oy noon, when the

and, the drying process continuing. tue track was
in good condition before the races were over.

Alabama Stakes, dash OF mile and an eighth;
the second dash OF three.qusrters Of mile for all
ages, and the third was handicap steeple chase,

here far better than any otner track In the
country, as every movement OF the horses can be
distinctly seen from start to finish. and the dan.
gers TO both horse and rider are far less than at
any other place. .
