The Second DAYS Trott Ing.


HOW THE RACES CAME OFF YESTERDAY
AT THE PARK-A GOOD ATTEND
ANCE-ExcITING CONTESTS.
A better day could not have been Sc
lected 'or racing, by the most exactipg
person, THAI that of YESTERDAY. The
temperature was of such degree as not
to make it uncomfortable, while at times
the sun was obscured by clouds, which
made IL much more pleasant. Unlike
the first day the track was in splendid
condition, in fact it could not have been
better. The attendance was large, and
very noticeable feature was the attend
ance Of quite a number of well-known
citizens IN their private teams.
The racing was of better order than
on the first day aud every one seemed TO
be perfectly satisfied. There was very
little, if any, jockeying, except in the
first heat Of the 2.40 class, when the
driver of Frank Bowers, tried bis hand
at it, but it would not work, as the trick
was noticed by the Judges and he was
warned by them previous to the starting
of the second heat, that should he try
his hand at 1t again that they would not
only punish him by fine, but would de-
pose him and put another man to drive
in his place. This warning had the de-
sired effect, as he did not try it again.
The time of starting the races was de-
layed somewhat, owing to circumstances
over which the judges had no control.
The horses were called for the first heat
of the 2.40 class, at $40 O'Clock, and
soon afterwards appeared upon the track
In this race eight were entered, aud al
first only three appeared to start, but
shortly after the call the entrance money
of Annie V. was paid and she appeared
upon the track. The horses that started
we're Kismet, Modoc, Frank Bowers and
Annie V. Purse, $l25. $50 to first; SAC
10 second and $25 to third.
The word "go" was given at the first
faint, all the horses coming up to the
scratch in good style. Klsmet led on
the start with Annie V. good second,
but she broke almost Immediately after
leaving the scratch and continued TO dc
so frequently at various tines during the
heat, which no doubt lost her third, and
possibly second money. The heat was
won easily by Ksmet with Modoc sec
ond, Frank Bowers third, and Annie V.
fourth. Time, 2.543.
| In the second beat, the word ego" was
given after five feints. The horses got
off well, but Annie V. broke on the first
turn but soon regained her feet, and by
hard trotting forged ahead of Kismet
| and passed the wire on the first hall
ahead. Her success was too much, how
ever, as she again broke badly, and be-
| fore regalning her feet so as she coulC
hold herself, was passed by the othel
three horses, and the heat was finished
by the horses passing under the wire or
| The home stretch in the same position:
as in the first. Time, 2.4s. r-#l
The third heat was most exciting o.
the whole race, and proved that If Annie
V. could only hold her feet that she
| would push Kismet very hard tor first
position. The horses got off we'll, and
Annie v. Keeping her feet soon passed
| Modoc, and in coming up the home
stretch on the first half forged ahead oi
Frank Bowers. This position placed hel
| in pocket between Kismet and Franz
Bowers, but in turning the curve she
shot ahead OF Frank Bowers, and Deld
second position until coming up, wher
she lost her feet and before she could re-
gain them, Frank Bowers had taken hel
position as second, and continued to holc
it, although just before TeacliDg the
wire Annie Y. made a squirt, and would
have come in second, had she not again
broke. As it was she came in goot
third, with Modoc fourth. Time, 2,5(
Kismet the winner, is splendid mare
| -. amid IN rhnan N
that she could make better time bl
several seconds than she did. She Away
keeps her feet which is the secret of hel
success.
The 227 race attracted the most atten
tion, owing no doubt to Lhe well know
horses that were entered. -Four entere,
