THE RACES.

Big day! Well, tina. was no name for 1t. 1t was
masher. The racing, as a matter Of course, was
rather thrown into the shade especially the first dash
by the promised speech Of j. G. Blaine, who drove
up to the stand behind Elias Moses eight-in-hand
just after the conclusion of the first race. The
grand stand presented altogether different appear
ance from the first day. From one end to the other
the vast structure was crowded with glad throng all
eager to witness the sports of the afternoon. j. l..
Thornton on hand with corps of assistants to
distribute his racing programme-and right here let
say that this progromme, giving the of every
horse with tho color of the rider driver ia
yenience never before enjoyed here at race, and
the slight cost at which they are furnished brings
them within the reach of all. Bach's grand orches-
ira, from Milwaukee, occupied the stand and dis
coursed inspiring strains therefrom, doing much to
relieve the monotony of the long waits between
heats. Inside the track long of gay equppages
were drawn up, while their occupants sought the fa-
viting shade of the amphitheatre. The judges, as
before, occupied the accustomed place.
AN INSULT THE PRESS.
We are that this is little broad, but we can
tnot avoid the statement that made yesterday that
he quarters proMded for the press are
not only too low, but too entirely demo-
cratic to suit the policy of this
or any other paper. crowd of buInmers, horse rub
bers and rural ROSTERS josed the reporters, blew
bad tobacco smoke in their nostrils, and completely
forced the boys of The pencil off their allotted ground.
1t was press gathering in the fullest of the
word such press, in fact, that we were shut out.
Some provision, at least could be made in our judg-
1nen for the reporters Of the daily papers, tn g
necessities of the occasion demand that the reports
should be written in full the ground, and writing
on ones knee, ostled by the crowd is not half what
it's cracked up to be.
For the first race, three quarter mile dash, there
we're three entries: l. Maidstone; 2, Ella t.; g.

The Number Present,

The estimates of the number present durin G

5000 during Blaine's address, while others

tude; E, Singular, 1t took six scores to get the
horses away after filming Parker, Chesters driver So
for getting too far ahead of the pole horse, with
whom all we're ordered to score.
First heat-Ihe horses got well away with Chester
slightly in the lead closely pressed by Daisy Dale,
drew ahead but break SCI her back
and Daisy took the lead. At the half IT was plain
that the fight lay between these two, who see-sawed
back and forth, one ahead and then the other until
the stretch was reached when Daisy went ahead and
maintained her place to the last, with Chester half
length behind, Singular third, Alnont fourth, Frank
NTH and Altitude drawn. Time 1871.
Second heat-Just two scores enabled the horses
to get away this time, and the heat proved one of
the most exciting of the day. AS before the contest
lay between Chester and Daisy Dale. These two had
it neck and neck to the three-quarter pole when
Chester forged ahead and came down the stretch
scarcely half length in front. At the distance the
horses were neck and Neck but under the string
Chester led by a bare head, Daisy under the lash,
Alrnont third, Singular and Frank distanced. Time
2:31A.
Third heat-This, narrowed down to three horses,
proved especially interesting. Fewer horses being
on the track they coald the more easily be kept in
mEnd by the spectators A fine start was effected,
Chester drawing ahead which position he held to the
half pole, where Daisy Tapped and passed him, he
having twice flown his feet Coming up the stretch
another break set him back and allowed Daisy to
take the heat by barely half length. Time 2:32A.
Fourth heat-That Chester had not done his best
was evident, at least in the judges opinion, for
Parker was unseated end Mr.. Dunbar placed in his
stead. Every one thought the change good
one for Chester trotted without a skip to the
three-quarters, when he made a break and lost
ground, but gained again and kept it to the head of
the stretch when Daisy and he both troted if in
double harness. Chester at the distance was about
neck ahead everyone cheering for Chester and all
thought he had the heat but about fifty feet from
the wire the whip was piled Daisy's back with such
effect that che forced Chester off his feet andpassed
him by head under the wire, winning the heat aud
race, taking first money; Chester second and Amont
third.
