Races-Bad Day for Favoritss. '.
The fine weather yesterday drew large crowd
to Pimlico, there being over three thousand spec
tators upon the grounds. Hundleds of the fine
eQuipages for which Baltimore is noted lined the
grounds inside the track opposite the grand stand
while the aristocracy Of the Monumental City
was well represented upon the stand. The at
tendance Of washingtonians was small, but many
will doubtless avail themselves Of the opportunity
Of the exceedingly pleasant ride over and fine
drive to the track to-day, should the weather
prove cool, bright and agreeable as it was yes
terday. -fr- "a r...1g "a s.a. 3 -..E
The quarters stretch presented a scene Of life,
animation and business, the hum Of excitement
almost drowning the stentorian voice of the pool
exception in good condition, and betting ran high,
though the day proved a bad one for fayorites,
Egypt being the only fsyorite whorepaid the con.
fdenee Of his hackers.
