the club house lawn and every available
space was occupied by black and surg
ing mass Of humanity. Long before the
start the tickets gave out and the visitors
were obliged to select any standing room

variously estimated ut from fifteen to
twenty thousand, and generally acknOWl'
edged To be the largest crowd ever as

fine,
The first race was for three-year olds,
the best race for weights ever run in the
United States. The contest was for the
Louisville cup, handsome piece Of plate
Of exquisite design and valued at 81 900,
