OPENING OF THE FALL MEETING OF THE WHINING
TON TRoTrING ASSOCIATION.
There was rather too much of rain in tho fall
OF Tuesday night for the preservation OF the
good condition in which the track Of the Will
mington Trotting Association had been for some
weeks past. 1t rendered the track soft and
heavy, and when the races first opened large
areas of mud lay scattered its whole length.
These, however, under the influence OF the brisk
West wind which swept over the field were
dried up and solidifed beneath the tread of the
horses and the roll Of the sulky wheels, 30 that
at the close Of the races the course was in very
fair condition. To day 1t is very hard and firm.
While the horses labored through this mud
and struggled against the stif breeze those who
went out 10 watch their performances shivered
and shook with the cold which seemed to pene-
trate every portion OF the body. Heavy beavers
and thick wraps were not proof against ii, and the
five or six hundred persons who were present
mui11ed themselves closely to expel the polar
wave which was sweeping on. Still the people
fingered, patiently, Notwithstanding the tedious
ness with which the races were prolonged by the
difficulty in getting the horses started Pool
selling went Oh with only moderate success; a
" fortune wheel" not far away did much better
business Sleepy John seemed to be the favor
ite in the four minute horses, Gpsey Maid in the
2 40 class, while in the so class there abso
lutely no choice, the pools being 30 chopped up.
Shortly after two clock. the four minute
horses were rung up for the opening race. The
judges were 7. Al. ogle, Iobt. NJ Gibson and
]. II. Walker, the first starter and the others
time judges. The reporters were put in the
Judges stand, among them a representative of
the Philadelphia CHy Item. The President Of
| the Point Breeze Trotting Association was in
| vited into the same place.
FOUR MINUTE RACE.
| Fnst Hedt-All the horses entered for this
race started, Oliver taking the lead. After max
| ing the turn. however, he was passed by Maria,
| who went some distance to the front and kept
| that position throughout the remainder OF the
| race. In the last half the most of tho other
horses came in on run, some to prevent being
| shut out. Time 3 minutes.
| Second Hedf.-MaIia and Batcher had little
| struggle for the front around the turn, which
was obtained by Maria, but Sleepy John. who
| had been closely pressing the leading horses
advanced beyond both. In coming down the
home stretch, Sleepy John and Maria were
| almost neck and neck, with Batcher trying tC
get in between them. This WAS somewhat ex
citing, and was one of the closest races of the
day. Sleepy John won by about a half length
| in 30j. Little Frank WAS drawn off.
| Third Hedt.-The contest in this heat was
mainly between the same horses az in the sec
| ond, Sleepy John getting the lead and keeplnl
it to the home stretch, when lie broke and Batch
| er came in first in 3.03
As the races were alternated no further trot
| ting was done by the horses of this class owing
to the approach of night The score stood

THE $50 RACE.

OF the ten horses entered, only oight started.
Stonewall and VIM. r. were withdrawn.
First Hedt.-Billy Bonlden got an easy lead,
the other horses being close behind and well to-
gether during the first quarter, after which the
horses strung out along the course until the
second round, when Nan pushed mp with Billy
Boulden and brisk race followed until Nan
broke on the home stretch and Billy Bouden
won the heat in 2 10.
Second Heat.-Blly Boulden and Nan were al
so the principal contestants in this heat in the
first half, Nan once getting the lead but losing it
by breaking. In the last half Shelly Copper
Bottom pushed up with the leading horses, and
for time made lively trot, all three coming
round the last course and down the home stretch
together, until they neared the judges stand
when Billy Boulden made spurt and came in a
half length ahead in Isl.
Third Heat.-The delay in getting off allowed
the darkness to settle over the track that it
was impossible to distinguish the relative posi-
tions OF the horses out Oh tile eouree, but Billy
Boulden seemed to have the lead in the race
and kept ii to the close, winning the heat in 2 81
and the race.
