Closing Events Of Yesterday.
The fourth or mile heat race at Ivy City yester-
day was won by Monarch, who captured both the
first and second heats in good style, though Helen
Wallace nearly stole march on him at the finish of
tie first heat, making an unexpected and brilliant
dash. The steeple-chase, which closed the days
sport. was most Interesting event. The starters
were Kitty Clark, Joe Hunt, Buster. Lille Monson,
Bethune, and Hartford. Kitty Clark was favorite
by long odds, and she proved that she was worthy
OF the trust imposed upon her. The first three
hurdles saw three OF the riders thrown and
their horses gallopng wildly about the inf I'D.
Kitty Clark and Bathune were away In the van
taxing tae he irtS and bitches together. and Joe
Hunt was behaving splenitd!y a few rods behind.
Oi the lower turn, just before reaching the ditch,
Hethune threw his rider and lost his CHI inces Joe
Hunt then begi to close In with the ravOrite and
they entered upon the long home stretch nearly
abreast. Then 1t WAS q fair race OF Spaed, in
which it was thought Kitty Clark might be
Woisted. she, however, held her own, and on the
last IurIong made grand burst, Which gave her
The race by several lengths.
