The Adjourned TrOtting.
IT COMES TO AN END INSTRUMENTATION
NELL THROUGH FEAR WINS THE
226 RACE.

2.26 RACE.
"The best laid plans of men and mice
oft gang glee," is an old saying but in
this case a true one, as was evin sed yes
terday by the small attendance at Scheut-
zen Park, to see the adjourned races
that were postponed from Thursday.
1t was plain. to be seen that the mana
gers of the affair were not well pleased
with their little device of the previous
days. The attendance perhaps amounted
to three hundred persons, and most of
them were regular hangers on on such
occasions.
During the forenoon there was consid-
cradle talk upon the streets in reference
to the unfinished race between Sadie
Bell, Gen. Howard and Lady Kildear.
The race was called late on Thursday
and three heats trotted, two of which
were won by Sadie Bell, and one by
Lady Kildear. Before another could be
| trotted it very conveniently became too
dark for the judges to see another and
hence the postponement Betting OF
course was in favor of the mare and
| those who had staked their money upon
her, when the postponement was an
nounced began to look glum, for they
well remembered the case last October
when the same thing occurred, and the
| night of the postponement $500 was
| Philadelphia, and the owner of Sadie
| Bell sold the race for that amount in IA
vor of Delaware. Remembering this,
| those who had bet in favor of Sadie,
were present yesterday with watchful
eyes, and Judging from their faces they
were determined to stand no nonsenee
| this time. If you were to ask a person
who would win the race the reply would
invariably be, "Oh, no one knows that
rel. Il..ll
and his clique"
But three heats had been made, and
the set determined faces of those who
had staked their all on Sadie, no doubt
| deferred her owner from "Jockeying" al
| though 1t was rather plain to be seen
| that he had no especial desire tC
| win.
The pool sellers were not very busy in
selling pools on the result, for those who
had not already staked their money were
| 10th to do so. Bnt just before the race
| commenced the auctioneer announced
in loud tone of voice that Kildear had
been sold for $40 and that he only had
| S24 for the field. This looked suspicious
and the heat was anXiously looked for
At about go o'clock the horses were
| called, and after several inc effectual efforts
to start the word ego" was given and the
| horses started off in good style, Sadie

until the end, although coming In on the
home stretch she was very hard pressed
( by Lady Kildear. When it was announc-
ed by the judges that the heat and race
had been won by Sadie Bell, hearty
| cheer went up, and her hackers felt re.
heved. The heat was trotted in 2.30, the
fastest time ever made on the track ex-
! cept Dexter, who trotted several years
ago in 2.28i. The time go is equal to
223 on Belmont track.
The other races the 245 and 3 minute
class were al>o finished. The 3 minute
class was won by John, of Philadelphia
in three straight heats, time, 2.45t, Is:
and 245.

In the 2.45 class, six horses started, and
was a hotly contested race, fourheats be.
ing necessary to decide the race. On the
| first heat Lambert Knox came in first
Black Douglass, of Middletown, second
and Viola, third. In the next heat, aftel
starting, Black Douglass pushed steadily
ahead, until he was first, which position
he maintained until the end.
Two following heats were also won by
him. He was certainly the prettiest trot
