| Next came the grand event OF the Gay
the mile heat running race between the
illustrious Wild Moor, vnc renowned LICK
DRY Jim and the promising lleaftless. IA
one expected Heartless 10 win,, hut she
won the admiration and the good
wishes of all by her beauty and
the spirit she evincc,l. 1t is the earnest
opinion of our reporter, shared by many
| others who were Watching the animals
critically, that Heartless could have won
the second heat had she been scientifically
ridden. She had the start on
the send-of by fnlly hVe
lengths, but instead of profiting by it and
rushing ahead and taking the pole, the
Jockey waited for the Moor and Jim to
come up, and as they were on full run
they swept by her before she could get
her stride. On the back stretch
She gained. on them, and down the
homestretch so materially less
ened the gap between ner ana INC ieaueis
that it was evident that with proper han
ding She could have taken the heat. Had
she done so, there is no surmising what the
end might have been. She might have
had more bottom than the Moor, in
which event she would have been
the winner. The fact is that in racing as
in everything else, the fight isn't over until
it is ended. The running between me
Moor and Jim was magnificent through the
w
a neck's difference between them from the
go to the outcome in the 1irst
heat, which was in Jim's favor,
and not the difference of hands width
throughout the second heat, until just as
they passed under the string, when the
Moors jockey Ioosened his reins and the
Moor stuck bis nose to the front by some
ten inches. The third heat was won easily
by Wild Moor by five lengths.

The macth race between Bob Molloy and
Zophiel which was to have come off Tor
Sl0O a side, had to be postponed on ac-
count of the lateness of the hour, as the
asst heat in the heat race had to be ruu at-
ter it was so dark the horses could hardly
be distinguished on the back stretch.
The meeting has been an eminent sue
cess in,so far as the excellence of'the sport
afforded is concerned. 1t drew to our city
quite number of the very best horses in
the south and it brought quite a
number of people too. The man,
agement has been all that
could possibly be asked, and the races have
been conducted strictly to rule. The man
agement certainly deserves the appreciation
of the people of this city, and it is 10 be
hoped that an increasing interest will be
manifested by all classes of our citizens in
