| THE RACING.
The races to-day were one-sided, and
what betting there was, was in favor
of local favorites, whose records for
speed were pronounced. The trotting
Of Sherman Morgan Of Dover was fine
and created considerable enthusiasm
Notwithstanding it was evident that
the driver commanded considerable
reserve power. The track was in an
excellent condition. But the dust
therefrom being waited into the grand
stand among the spectators, who were
already exhausted with debilitating
exertions to keep cool made the posi-

pleasant.
The first race was wagon race for
peninsular horses without record
