To-Day.
There was an increased attendance
at the Scheutzep Park yesterday, max
ing in all about three hundred. 1t was
encouraging. The pool man with his
three legged table howled louder, the
man at the wheel chirruped with more
persistency. the bets came in with
more liberality and the spirits ofthe pool
tenders were correspondingly elevated.
The man with the double headed horse,
like Abou Ben Adhem, sat at the door
of bis tent sad and sorrowful,
while the one-eyed apple man and the
manageress of the extsmporized restaur-
ant, absorbed in their own felicitous
coquetries with don 0n't-oare-a-cOntinen-
tai expression, were the only ones who
appeared really happy.
The Judges from their altitude look
ed out upon the admiring throng. They
were righteous judges, and from the
frequency they elevated certain
suspicious looking bottle they appear
| ed to be as good judges of that certain
"something"as they were Of the merits
Of horse race. The reporters always
ready to render assistance where aid
is necessary acted the part Of disinter-
ested referees and with an honesty
worthy Of commendation, aided the
judges with their well known sampling
abilities. The judges varied often and
the profession under the behest of duty
sampled" with the same regularity.
True there were certain suspicious
sounds, but they may have been caus.
ed by an enthusiastic interestedness.
"Guggle-guggle -guggledly-glug-
glug I" was the refrain; but the chorus:
"yum yum boss stuff-fve fingers
good for collie !" that came floating dis-
connectedly through the cracks, to say
the least, were very suspicious.
THE RACING.
The racing Of Tuesday was far supe-
rior to that which took place yesterday.
In some of the heats there was consid-
cradle jockeying and in one instance it
was so palpable that the judges dis
mounted the rider and replaced him by
another. The first start which was the
unfinished pacing race Of the day pre-
vious was made. In this Eddie Z. came
in first, John s. second, Don Cameron
third and Innocent Sam fourth. Time
2.34a. Eddie G. got first money, John
S. got second money and Innocent Sam
third.
The days contests then began with
the wagon race. "John'' the phe-
nomenal Mill Creek animal was drawn
because of the protest referred to in
yesterdays report made against him.
Dexter, Annie ", Swamp and Ida were
the starters. Ida was given the pole
and had the advantage. The others
Tapped her on the first quarter but
gradually they heightened. Swamp
swerving to the pole cut Ida from her
position; and with Annie V. tapping
passed the half mile. Swamp main
tanned the vantage up to the last quar-
ter where she broke and Annie V.
drawing ahead came in under the wire
three lengths ahead of Swamp. Ida
and Dexter were distanced. Time 2.5S.
The other heats were merely trials of
speed between Annie V. and Swamp.
In both Annie V. won. Time 3.l9I
and 3.19.
The second race was the 2.50 race.
Gypsy and Maud Medium were the
starters. Maud had the pole. She
maintained her lead and held it, al
though Gypsy did some fine trotting.
The second heat was a repetition Of the
first. On the first quarter Gypsy gave
a fine display Of her powers, which led
the spectators to doubt Mediums abili-
ty to win the contest. In the third
heat Medium took the start. On the
first quarter Gypsy forged close 10 the
pole, as usual, but the jockeying of the
driver, now apparent to every one, gave
Medium the advantage. On nearing
the last quarter Medium broke and the
black mare went by her. On the home
stretch they ran nose to nose until up
to within seyenty-fve feet of the wire,
when the black mare passed Medium.
The jockey seeing his mistake drew her
In with such force that Medium went
under the wire half length ahead,
amid the imprecations of the spectators.
The Judges took the matter in hand,
and after consultation declared the heat
to be dead one, and then unseated the
Jockey and chose Granville Gillespie of
Dover, driver of Sherman Morgan to
drive the race. This change was pro-
per one, for the mare won in each of
the three heats. Time $50, 2.5l and
2.55. In the jockeyed heats Mediums
time was 2.44, 2.47 and 2.47!. The lat
ter's time is the best but in the last
heats both animals were somewhat fag-
ged. .............
The third race there were three star
ers-Geo. Brooks, Kate S. and Byron.
The three were easily won by Brooks,
