'anturpd A gain.

LONDON, April 49, The event of the
second day of the Epson spring meeting
was the City and Suburban handicap at
mile and a quarter. 1t resulted in a
complete surprise and great victory
for the American horse Passaic, sold by
Mr., j. Lorillard to Lord Rossmore,
which had not been considered in the
betting. Master Walter was second,
and Scobcll, who was a hot favorite for
first place, only secured third place.
For the first time since 1866 the Aus
tralian colonies are looking to Califor-
MIA for supplies of wheat.

was magnificent. All this for one shil-
ling. There were 60, 900 people present,
still there was no confusion and not
much of n crowd, unless all started for

the fireworks. Day after day | spent
hours and hours visiting the different

won bv odds that even those least confident OF
American success had never dreamed of as likely.
The defeat Of the Americans a complete rout.
Nothing could save them and as the lead so hardly
won by their opponents on the day before was IN
creased with every round, the spectators finally
got over large portion of their chaerin and made
merry over what they considered their own discom-
future. With this feeling grew their admiration Tor
the plucky work Of the British against the same
disadvantageous circumstance and during the last
half hour OF the match every bulseye made on
either side was greeted with cheer. They were
not many and they afforded relief to the mOnoony
of the misses and cutters which were signalled so
frequently. When all was over the British were
40 points ahead of tho Americans. and though
there Is no basis Of comparison between
the events, it doubtless felt by Sir Henry and
some of his men that the humiliations suffered by
the British lion in former international matches
with the Americans had been avenged at least III
part
As was expected, the plucky fight of the
Americans Thursday stimulated an
interest on the part of the people
much greater than that shown on the first day
Fully three or four times as many spectators were
on the ground, and many handsome equipages
skrtcd the edge of the crowd that pressed against
the ropes near the firing points. Many came out eX-
pecting TO see a subboIny contested strug-
gle, and hope was very lively al
the outset even in the hearts of the American team
for possible victory. All expectations OF tins klnd
dwndled rapidly when the shooting began The
first few shots both sides told the
story of what would be the outcome,
to the initiated. The Americans began with excess
of caution that borderod NERVOUSNESS The
