ces Yesterday.
Never before were there so many
people collected at the Driving Park
as there were yesterday. On Fri
day there were over ten thousand,
and yesterday the crowd must have
numbered between twelve and fif-
teen thousand. The attraction was
the races, especially the trot in
which Omaha's favorite, "Randall,"
was to take part.
Everybody wanted to SCI the lit
tie pet get up and dust, and he GER
tainly did it. His contestants in
the free-to-all race, 8 in 5, for a
purse of 5000, $3.50 to first horse,
and $3.50 to second, were Thrown
jack" of Sioux City, and "Mon-
roe," of Topeka.
The first heat was won by Gram
DALI" in 2::264, "Brown Jack" COM
ing in second. "Randall" took the
second heat in 2:243; and the third
heat was given to him by the Judges,
although he came in second, on ac-
count of a 'foul" by "Brown
Jacks" driver, who, in taking the
pole cut "RandalI" off too short.
There was considerable ill-feeling
manifested by "Brown Jacks"
friends over this decision.
"RandaIl" trotted haautifully.
under the skillful management of
his driver, Harry Heiniker. He
keeps his feet splendidIy, and rarely
ever breaks. His performance yes
terday was fully up to the eXpecta-
tons of his thousands of friends
who witnessed his trotting. The
widest enthusiasm greeted him
upon the conclusion of each heat.
The running race was won by
Frank AleXander's "Rambler" in
three consecutive mile heats, in
1:51!; 1:23; and 1:55. The other
contestants were Unlocking Bird"
owned by Hunnewell, of Kearney
Junction, and "Buckskin," owned
by Dennis Cunningham, of Omaha.
DR.. Ish's Nebraska Granger"
o the deciding heat of the unfin-
ished trot of Wednesday, and took
first money, $3.50, "Lucy Smith,"
owned by R. I. Lee, of Topeka,
carried off second money, 500.
"Granger's" time was 2:454.
