PROBABLY never before we're there SO
many Republican candidates for the diff.
ferent positions in the Assembly as at
present. The reason is largely due to
the somewhat uncertain political s!tus-
ton in the Senate, where both parties
have been claiming tho organization
Candidates have preferred to try their
fortunes in a place where their own par

a place where majority is uncertain.

THIRD RACE, PURSE, $500.
This race was undoubtedly the event of
the day and OF the most interest Sadie
Bell had the greatest number Of admirers,
the conduct of Stetson in one of the pre-
vious races being fresh, no doubt, in the
1uemory OF many OF the lookers-on.
After repeated starts Sadie Bell took the
lead passing the quarter ut 3S, two lengths
ahead of Delaware. In this position
Sadie passed tho half mile at LII. Sadie
kept the same position and came in first
in 2.34t.
Much enthusiasm was displayed when
the time was announced; mon yelling and
throwing up their hats and calling aloud
their approval. On the home stretch
Stetson declared that his horse was kept
back by cap being thrown at him by
some one in the crowd.
In the second heat Delaware got the
lead closely pressed by Sadie, who broke
when half way to the quarter and came in
being distanced. Delaware passed the
quarter in Al and the half mile at 1.20.
On nearing the home stretch Jersey Boy
struck ahead and it was an eager contest
between he and Delaware who won the
heat by half-length in 2.374. This heat
gave general satisfaction, many being sur
prised at the gait of Jersey Boy.
In the third heat Sadie Bell took the
lead with Delaware almost neck to neck,
passing in the same position the quarter at
81. She held this lead by half length
until after passing the half mile in 1.l5.
After passing the three-qusrter Sadie
broke, but soon caught up to Delaware,
who broke also. On the home
stretch the contest between the two WAS
very hot and both came in neck to neck,
the heat being pronounced dead. The
time was 2.34a. The popular feeling
among the bystanders was in favor of
Sadie Bell, it being declared that Stetson
ran Delaware after breaking near the
three.auarter. The doubt was not without
some ground.
When the fourth heat was called, every
man in the field pressedto front to witness
as it was thought, the deciding heat.
Delaware took the lead. but long before
the quarter WAS reached, Sadie broke and
was left behind. She caught up, however,
and when nearing the quarter passed
Jersey Boy and Moscow and from thence
it was strong contest between her and
Delaware who passed the quarter in ~.
On the half mile, Sadie went ahead OF
Delaware closely pressed. On the turn
nearing the home stretch, Delaware crept
slowly ahead with Jersey Boy almost neck
to neck followed by Sadie. Delaware.
after much delay was given the heat at
2,3sl. Jersey Boy the second.
There was much disappointment among
the people at this decision of the judges
but they held to it, and declared that the
continuation of the race was postponed
until this afternoon at o'clock.
Sadie Bells breaking was caused in a
measure by the people filling the track
around the judges stand.
At the close Of the first heat when Sadie
won, Mcconnell, her driver, was treated to
a perfect ovation of cheers, men closing
around the little beauty aud stroking her
approvingly. The track was rather bad

The races yesterday were attended by a
greater number Of people than during
either Of the previous days. Not only was
Wilmington well represented, but many
people came from Philadelphia and sur
rounding towns. Tho attendance could
not have been less than two thousand per-
sons, who, az whole, were very orderly,
but whose enthusiasm and interest in the
race led them to fill the track around the
judges stand, thus preventing the horses
from taking their positions.
