THE RACES.

There was very large audience IN attend
ance at the races yesterday, probably not less
than 5000 people, possibly as many as 5000.
The sport was good and the programme was
satisfactory. It is a matter of remark by all
who are familiar with the course that the
quarter-streteh has never before been so
promptly cleared when ordered. nor has such
good order been kept ON the track before, as
under the management of chief marshal
Bryte and his assistants 1t was specially no.
ticeable yesterday that the people have found
out that what the marshal says he means.
The fist race was trotting, stake for 2:22
class S25 to accompany nomination /; S75 to
be paid the first day of the fair. If two
start, $500 added; two thirds to first horse
and one-third to second. M. Salisbury names
br. &. Bateman by H. Clay, dam American
adler by Happy Medium, dam Lady Turner
by Frank Pierce.
Brigadier was the favorite in the pools by
S1OO to Sl2 Bateman won the pole and led
by half length to the upper turn, when
Brigadier went ahead. Bateman broke near
the draw.gate and ran up close to the score.
Brigadier won easily by half length in 2:22aa
In the second heat they went beautifully and
even to the quarter post, when Bateman led
by neck, but at the half Brigadier led by a
half length. Around the head of the oval
they went neck and neck, trotting in man
ner to arouse the enthusiasm of the spec
tators They came to the score Brigadier a
half length winner. Time, 2:2Sa. 1t was
perfectly evident that Brigadier could have
won by a much greater distance had his
driver been so disposed, and that Bateman
kept him company only by suffrance of
Brigadier's engineer. The third heat was a
repetition, of the second and was won by
Brigadier in 2:26.
