Out For To-day.
The weather being equally as good yes
to-day as on the day previous, and uni
versal satisfaction having been given to
those who attended the opening of the
races, the attendance showed decidedly
marked increase. Many private convey
ances, with fair occupants and escorts,
lined the grounds inside and outside the
course, and the grand stand was two-thirds
filed. No better order has ever been pre-
served at a race track than has been main
tanned at this fall meeting thus far, and the
management appear to be determined to
have everything so right, both on the track
and off.

Melton's mare, carried over from the first

however, and retained it without skip or
break from start to finish, Time 800.

preceding it, except that it was more
closely travelled, the horses going neck and
neck for hundred yards or more in several
spurts. The Barley colt took the lead by
a head, and won the race. Time, 3:27l.

Mr.. Adams, the owner of Professor, for the
non-appearance of his horse, which he had
entered in the 2:40 class trial of the first

changed throughout the dash, except that
