By Tar the interest yesterday cei-
tered In the races. BY one O'Clock the
crowd began to take seats on the main
stand, and by two O'clock, the time OF
calling of the first race, every seat was
filled, and the grounds around the
stand were filled by large number
OF buggies, occupied by the ladies and
their escorts, while the fences were
lined with people, all eager for the
sport. The grand stand presented an
animated and lively appearance, with
its crowd of beautiful ladies and hand
some gentry. Better order was had
than on the day before, the track be-
Ing kept clear of those that had no
right thereon. The course was still
heavy, but is fast drying, and by Mon
day, if the weather continues fair, will
be in as prime condition rs could be
wished for.
