Az VA anticipated. Lent over, and . fair
day, the attendance at the races yesterday
va unusully large. Crowds Of beautiful
ladies graced the ladies' stand, and the
meeting was one quite like old times. The
track VA in primo condition, and every
thing wa favorable for good racing.
Tho FIRST race Wa . dash of three-quar-
tam Of ono mile for al ages, for which
seven horses came to the score-Virdigris,
Asserlite, Mollie B.. Alton, Osseo, Spring
let md Tom O'Neil. The favorites were
CISCO, $50 in the Paris pools, to $65 on
virdigris; tho others sold about - in the
Geld, O,Neil $33, Springlet $50, Asterlite,
1ollie B. and,Alton $3l. After three false
starts the signal Tag was seen to drop from
the far-sway starting quarter, and the
horses got of we'll together, Mollie B.
leading ct the start, but soon falling back
behind virdlgris, and then allowing Osseo
to pass. The race was then between Wiz.
digris and Osseo, and il wa remarkably
lively, all coming in under the whip, Viz
digris winning by halt . length in l:l7h.
The second race was for four year Odds,
two mile heats. Volcano, POmpey's Pillar,
Mamie F. and Mollie b. were booked a.
starters, but Mollie had exercise enough in
the previous race, and did not come out.
Tho betting was greatly in favor of volcs-
NJ - . two mile horse. The start was .
very good one, and for the first mile of the
FIRST heat, which wa made in 1:50, Volcano
and Ponpey's Pillar u about even, the
former under . pull, and taking and keep
ing the lead round the second mile. The
heat Wa made in 3:4214, Volcano winning
with an easy Gallop BY nve lengths. Nam
mic B. wa late enough to see the distance
flag dropped before her, and withdrew in
disgrace. Tho second hest was . very sven
a Pompey's Pillar being kept in, though
leading until the half mile post ON
the second mile, whom Volcano strug-
gled to the front, but failed to
keek the place, and Pompey's Pillar
came in two lengths ahead. 1t VA
now observed that Volcanoes trainer was
anxious for his horse, who did not cool off
we'll. A change of riders was decided upon,
and Billy Lakeland, the best jockey N the
course, took him in hand. Bids in the pool
were now e65o IN Pompeys Pillar to $l35
N volcano. Volcano got the lead ON the
third heat, and run his last race, breaking
his right fore leg ct the knee. - the horses
were Turning the third quarter of the first
mile. It Wa cruel sport, but such 10 race
horse life. The poor animal did not fall,
but limped of to the stables, having done
his best and losing al. Pompey's Pillar !
finished the sad rass alone.
The third race was . mile dash. which |
engaged Kiburn, Survivor, Captain
Hutchinson, Falmouth, Captain Reeder, |
Cariboo and Puss Brodnax. Survivor
was the favorite. selling in the Paris pools
for $40, with Kilburn 1t $3.50, Hutchinson
1T $50, and tho others in tic field at SIS. |
The race proved . very quick and exciting
one, Kilburn getting the lead at the first
