Running-First race: The frat
event of the day was the 9th race of
the course-a club purse for $500; a
novelty race for all ages. A mile and a
half. The purse was divided into three
parts, the horse winning the first half
mile getting 800, that winning the
mile $3.50, and the mile and a half
$3.50. Six horses were entered for this
race, viz: J. II. Johnson enter b &
Longstride, weighted to lis lbs; W,
Sullivan, oh M Maria F., weighted to
81 lbs; W. l.. Sullivan, b h Duke of
Monday (scratched); T. Mulqueen, oh
h Grindstone, 121 lbs. B. c. Holly, oh
6 Ben Anderson, ZIG lbs. The pools
sold decidedly in favor of Ben Ander-
son for the first half mile stake, and
about wen between Maria +. and
Longstride for the finish. The five
horses got off well together, and the
race was a very handsome struggle.
Maria f. had the pole, Ben Anderson
next, then Grindstone and Longstride.
Ben Anderson took the half mile
in 81 seconds, the mile was made in
1.47 and the course in 2.474, Longstride
winning, closely pressed by Maria F.
Two of the horses, Anderson and
Grindstone, fell out of the race after
running a mile. Maria f. took the
mile stakes. G. i. Halnes, o. j.
Ayeaill and w. Mcqueen judged the
race.
Second race-Running: This was the
10th of the course and was called i'm
mediately af the preceding. 1t was a
club purse of $3.50 for all ages, S175 to
first, $50 to second, 1875 to third; three
quarters of a mile. There were five
entries: W. l.. Sullivan entered oh m
Maria f. (scratched), also b h Duke OF
Mondy, weighted to 124 lbs: w. II.
Foster b g Narrow Guage, with
DRAWN; t. Mulquesn s m Sisterly,
weighted to to 112 lbs. b. G. Holly T c
p. Lorillard, weighted to 80 lbs. The
horses got as good a start as If they had
started by electric slot, being exactly
even. They made a splendid struggle,
but the Duke get away with his com
petitors, taking the a C in 1.1St. The
colt Lorillard pressed him closely, how.
ever, and took second money, with Sis,
terly a bad third. Before the race the
Duke and Sisterly sold at first at about
even, with Lorillard nowhere; soon,
however, the coin proclaimed the Duke
a fayorite at about two to one, with
Lorillard far in the background. After
the race he was a prime favorite, how
ever, and Mr.. Gilmer bought him fol
$1,000.
The trotting race.-Thls was No. l.
of the regular races, No. IL being of
by reason of lack OF entries. Three
were required and only two made. Fol-
the ace which ensued seven entries
were made. John Griffin named oh m
Ethel, g. w. Darlington bf Maggie c.,
b. G. Holly, VIII m Lizzie Drew (sick
and w~ithdrawn), A Lewis bl m Lulie,
A II Swan CHI IN Milo G., Chancey
Luce b m Lady Low tdrawn), G. L
Haines blk g Zip. Five horses
started.
Before the first heat the pools sold on
the average about 800 for Milo c.,
$50 for Ethel, and $15 to $50 for the
field. Ethel had the pole, Zip second,
Lulie third, Milo G. fourth and Maggie
G. the outside. Messrs. E. CorrIgan,
o. ]. Averill and W. Mcqueen were
the judges. After two scores the horses
got off well, and Maggie q. took the
heat, which was rather a tame one, in
2.44t, Milo G. second, Ethel third,
Lulie fourth, Zip last. The first heat
made but little difference in the pools,
except that Milo G. was rather more
the favorite than before, with Ethel
second choice and the field nowhere.
Summary-Purse of $500; $3.50 to
first, 300 to second and $50 to third.
