The Second Day Good ono-The Trotting
Contest Lett Over From Saturday Fin
ished-The Youngsters show Their
Heels In Half Mile Dash--The Favoritss
in the Trotting Contest and In the Mile
and Quarter Dash Both Beaten, II Game
Young Texan Winning the Dash,
Yesterday was the second day Of the
races at the spring meeting under the
auspices of the Dallas Jockey club. The
day was beautiful one and the attendance
middling good-hot so good as Dallas owes
il to herself that il should have been. II is
not malapproprate here TO say that if Dal-
las hopes TO build up jockey club races
here, so that there will be
two frst-class meetings every
year, the people must take more interest
! n the efforts that are being made to that
end and give more encouragement by their
presence on the grounds. II is not neces-
sary to ad Iancc any suggestions or argu-
ments as to the advantages that must
accrue to our city by having tirst-class
races here every year, for the man who
hasn't sense enough to perceive and under
stand these advantages without suggestion
or argument, hasn't sense enough to appre.
ciate suggestion or argument when made.
The trotting contest left over unfinished
from Saturday, was finished in one heat by
Tom Moore.
