THE RACES.

The afternoon has justified the promise
of the morning, both in weather and at
tendance. The first named being perfect
and the latter the largest of the fair. num-
bering from five to six thousand. The
racing programme opened with the double
team trotting race, for which there were
four entreis, as follows: Capt. Herod
and Luby n, by Jerome Mckinney, Kate
Howard and Leclair, Jr., by John Kathan,
Black Jim and David R. Portion, and Via
tor. by w. Z. Cross, with teams having po-
sitions in the order named. In the
pools Capt. Herod and Lucy n, sold for
five to five for the field. For the race dis
tance was barred.
First Heat-A good deal of trouble was
experienced in getting the horses off, first
one and then another being either unsteady
or out of place. Upon the ninth trial,
however, teams got good send-of, but in
the turn Lucy n. left her feet, compelling
Jerome to pull his team almost to stand
still. In the meantime Howard and Lee
claire and Black Jim and David R. were
trotting well and almost head and head.
At the quarter, Jim and mate had slight
lead but just then David R. left his feet.
Dewey had to pull up while Howard
and Leclaire forged ahead, Cross with
Portion and Viator taking second place.
This was only temporary, however. for
Dewey having settled, David R. sent his
team along at rattling pace, soon pass
ing Cross and made play for the
leaders, but they were too speedy for him,
passing under the wire two lengths in the
lead. Portion and Viator bad third. and
Capt. Herod and Lucy n, still worse
fourth. lime, 2:46M. In the second heat
the teams were sent off ON the third effort
to an excellent start. Howard and Lee
claire had little of the best of
it at the turn with Black Jim
and David Z. on the wheel. Por-
ton, and Viator a length back while Herod
and Lucy N. were three lengths away and
the mare bobbing. This position was un-
changed until half way down the half stretch
when Viator left his feet. and in pulling
him level, Herod and Lucy n. got up on
even terms. Itwas only for moment, for
David r. settled, Cross sent the team
along rapidly, so that when the home
stretch was reached he was only three
lengths away from Dewey, who had his
horses noses on the wheel of Kathan. with
Kate Howard and Leclare. Down the
home stretch Dewey sent his
team for the leaders, and
though they trotted level he could not
overhaul them, they passing length the
best of Black Jim and mate who were two
lengths ahead of Gross, with Portion and
David R, Herod and Lucy n. bad fourth.
Previous to starting this heat McKenny
changed the position of his horses. putting
Lucy \. on the of side, but it did no good.
! the mare not taking kindly to double team
work. Time 2:49. In the third heat the
word was given on the fourth effort. Dew
ey with Black Jim and David r. pulled to
the front and took the pole at the turn and
had opened a lead of two lengths at
the quarter. while Cross, with Portion and
| Niator, had got on even terms with How
ard and Leclaire. Going from the quar-
ter Viator broke. and had TO be pulled al
most TO stop. At the same time Kathan
sent Kate Howard and Leclaire along for
Black Jim and David E., and the rait was
made so lively as TO force Black jim iron,
his feet at the half ard unsettlinr the
team for the balance of the heat. In the
meantime Cross. with Portion and Viator.
by more or less running, got up on close
! terms with Howard and Leclaire on the
home,' but the little bay and gray
were too fast, passing under the wire two
lengths in the lead. Capt Herod and
Lucy \. acted badly from the start. and
were bad fourth from start to finish. Time.
2:40.
