Horses nsvsr trotted a track In bet,
ter condition than a. the Sohsutzs
Park yesterday, where the second day .
racing of the Delaware Trotting Asso-
cIation took place. The attendance
was considerably larger than that OF
the day before but nothing like what
had been expected. Howsvsr the races
were fairly conducted, and although
the best horses had apparent walks
over the contests, were quite interesting.
TIE RACES.
1t was we'll on toward 4 o'clock when
the first raca was started, owing to SHms
delay. The following horses were in :
W. H. Dobls's Kismst, A. Pratt's No
||fTloc, stockley's Annie, and JosapA
Quinn's Frank Bowers. Kismet had
the pols and the tirst stsrt was a good
one. Frank Bowers held second place
on the first quarter, while sodoo be-
haved badly and Annie Y. was break
ing and catching all the time. The
gray finally came down TO hcneSt work
and pressed Kismet, Frank Bowers at
the sams time breaking and ioiaing
Annie, now far in the rear. Hs did
some lns tsotting on the home stretch:
caugbt up and could have passed No.
doc..some thought il hs had 90 desired.
Kismet won in , Aa. .
The second heat vent 10 Klsuet as
did the third, with very little trouble
though Modoc held his place, few
lengths behind all azouad. Frank
Rowsrs broke several times and Annie
v. kept ahead till near the aDish, and
down the homs stretch 1t was pretty
race, Kisret winning in , 4S.
The third heat was better, Htsnet
kept the lead we'll, and the others
stayed back for while bat the thing
assumed IN interesting aspect when
Modoo lost his feet and fell back and
Annie V. passed him and forged toward
the front. The little mare trotted like
tightening, and showed the people
what she could do If kept
from breaking. Bowers had besn
second, bat she displaced him also,
and would have held the position but
she broke on the homs stretch and
came uIder in third position with
Bowers hsvs length ahead and Ki5-
met barely lssdingt lrhe sinls was
ESQ.
The 2. 81 racs attracted mora atten-
tion, because Sherman Morgan, always
a favorite here, had Mollie and Nigger
Baby 10 contend against. The drst heat
was started with Nigger Baby a! ths
pole, and the three horses got away in
8 hsap. Sherman went of badly on the
frat quarter, and was rsgaining his
lost ground on the second, when he
broke again. This threw him away
back, and MOllie drew up close on
Doble's horse and pressed him to rat
tling pace. Sherman, nsar the close Of
the last hall, came up in ine style and
barely missed being neck and neck
with Mollis, who was olass 70 Dobls's
splky wheel. Time, 2.93.
The second heat was started with 10
trouble, and Sherman for an instant
led but on the second quarter was put
in pocket by the Philadelphia horse,
with Niger Baby ahead. Rs got out
of thi5 on the FIRST part of the second
round and left Mollie far back. Final |
ly he passed Doble, VINO ran Niger
Baby for fifty yards thereby saving him
self. Sherman was only beaten BY half
q neck in 239.
The prettiest start Of the day was on
The last heat AMI all around ShsrI1 an
pressed Niger Baby with Mo!lis close
behind him. Niger took the heat and
ace, hoNeysr, by several lengths in
81.
