ROped that the patronage ana
Ytbe races Ut succeeding meetings
Prove wonderfully over tne present
M, as Dallas ought to be the 0hiei
dug point OF the country. There were
large numbers OF strangers in town, how
ever, throughout the entire week, and
live interest was taken in all the races. Az
this point il may be well TO say that the
report OF the races of Friday as published
in the HERALD did Nomad an injustice
through u mistake. lnstead o' being as
tanced after the third heat, as reported, III
the 2;40 class, he was drawn, owing 10 the
fact that he had broken blood vessel
| Yesterday he was getting better. The only
race OF consequence yesterday afternoon
was the free for-all pacing with Fuller long
way the favorite. The following is the pro
sramme:

mile Fuller was in the lead, Lone
Jack second and Westmont third
Fuller came in ahead at the

home second, Lone Jack wasthird and Bay
Jim was distanced. In the second heat
Fuller was ahead at the half and three
quarter poles and at the finish. The other
two did some very close pacing, but Lone
Jack got in second on the close. In the
third heat the only interest was as between
Lone Jack and Westmont, as it was pretty
general conceded fact that Fuller would
win the heat and race. Although the lat
ter was behind, at the first quarter pole he
had no trouble in going to the front from
tina, point and keeping ahead through the
best of the heat. Lone Jack was second al
the half, three.quarter and tinlsh. The
third heat closed the race, giving Fuller
the first and Lone Jack the second place.

The crowd were anxious to see the mile
heats, being the second race for purse Of
800, but were disappointed greatly when
the Judges at the conclusion of the pacing
race announced that the second race was
off, owing TO the fact that one of the en-
tries was sick, there having to be three
entries. The only race remaining on the
programme was the Consolation, l mile
dash, for beaten horses.

Though mile dash only, this last race
was very pretty one, and was looked
after with much interest. In the pools
Avalon was largely the favorite. Baltic
Avalon took the lead and kept it from there
on, and came in at the finish first,
Baltic cid some nice running, but
was unable to catch Avalon from the first
quarter. He was in as second, however, in
good time with Turin third. Just as usual
FL Captain ran spIendidly up to the half
mile pole, but no dependence can be put in
him. At near the three-quarter pole he
quit the race, almost stopping, to the dis
gust of his hackers, and walked in home:
This dash ended the days programme and
the sp ort of the week.

Time-l:lih.
The time made and the character OF work
done in this mile dash were exceptionally
fine, and the city should be congratulated
on getting trotting race to 2:23i, pacing to
217, and running to 1:444 At the next
meeting we may anticipate something
grand.
Messrs Sam Klein, Colonel G. B. Steph'
enson and Captain Dills. of Sherman, the
judges, seemed to give universal satisfac'
uon, and the week passed off without
thing to mar the sport, or any trouble o
any character. 1t is most heartily to be
wished that when the ASSOCIATION gives III
next meeting the interest will be equally
aroused, and the same honest and gentle
manly conduct will be manifested through
out by those having the races in charge
All classes of citizens have been benefited
this week, and it stands the business men
in hand to bestir themselves on succeeding
occasions. While giving honor to whom
honor is due, it is but right that Dallas, anc
not two or three of her citizens, should lool
after the Jockey club races. Hereafter
much greater enthusiasm may be antici
