yesterday on account Of rain ard mud, the
first day racing Of The spiing meeting Of
the Dallas Jockey club came of yesterday
afternoon. The attendance was very good
the grand stand being reasonably well
filed, aud there was fair sprinkling OF
ladies in carriages in the grounds inside the
course, The day was bright and cheerful
and just cool enough to be bracing and
pleasant. At 3 O'Clock the horses were
stripped and the riders weighed and
mounted for
| THE FIRST RACE.
| This was an extra running race IN lieu oil
| the trotting confess, $50 class, which was
not filled 1t was q handicap and dash of
one and one-eighth of mile. There were
six entries and six starters, of which Hick-
| ory Jim was the iavolite at considerable
odds. Bob Molloy was second choice, with
FL Captain third.
The prancing and spirited beauties were
clustered at the one-eighth of mile post
for the start where fully three-quarters OF
an hour was consumed before they got off.
| The principal cause of this delay WAS
the antics of Xophiel, fresh fom the
wilds of Arkansas, who wanted TO get
up u sensation and succeeded in doing So
He was bound to run, but was entirely OIL
|
SO he started around the track ut full speed
the back way. He did this twice, running
more than half mile the first time before
| his rider could check him, and going
around to within few hundred yards OF
the judges stand the second tiNe. The
consequence was that be IAN himself down
and destroyed all chance he may have had
| of winning thereby.
| Finally Zophiel was brought in, and be-
ing held by his trainer, was gotten oil with
| the others af.er three false starts. The SIX
started fairly well together, Tommie Brown
leading, Hickory i'm on Tommie's guar
| ter, Ell Captain third, Lucinda foulth, LOB
Molloy, titn, and Iophiel, the say and les
| tive Arkansas gentleman, SIKH When they
passed the Judges stand Hickory jim was
| leading with I'll Captain close 10 him and
| Bob Molloy collar to collar with the Cap
| tain, the Others strung out snor1 distances
| behind. In tins way they passed the first
and second turns, end SO went laundering
down the back stretch, but all well in hand, |
waiting for the fnal struggle on the home
stretch. As they went around the head OF
the track past the clubhouse and into the
home stretch, El Captain and Bob Molloy
both began to crowd Hickory jim and
force the running. Both these game Texans
wanted the first place, and were determined
to have it or make 'the great unknown"
put forth his best efforts. Coming home
the pace was terrific one, and all three OF
the equine Titans received the timber and
cold steel without stint. 1t was no use, |
however, for Hickory Jim had the ad-
vantage, if not the bottom, and he
passed under the string first, by length,
half length in his rear.
Hickory Jim did not win the race, however.
When they went to weigh off the riders, |
Hickory's Jockey, Cross, was under weight |
by four and a half pounds. 1t was apparent
that "somethi ng was rotten in Denmark"
and considerable OF buzz was created. |
which made Bob Molloy second, Lucinda |
third Tommie Brown fourth and Iophiel, !
the sensational Arkansan, q tearlully Dad |
fifth. The following is the
