SECOND DAY.

| beautiful, and the races ut the Fair Grounds
were all that could have been desired. The
track Is in magnificent condition, and IL is
undeniably one OF the best in the country.
The attendance, as was anticipated, was
much larger than on the preceding evening,
and the presence of the ladies was decidedly
more marked. The liveliest interest was
manifested throughout, each Of the horse
being backed extensively, and all having
ground. The good order that prevailed and
the absence Of. objectionable features gene
rally, were particularly noticeable and
must be especially commended. Though it
had been announced by the HERALD yes
terday morning that the races would be
called an hour earlier yesterday afternoon,
or at o'clock, il was fully 2 o'clock or later
before everything could be got ready and a
start made in the first race. However the
DAVIS sport was finished in good time and
everything went smoothly as could be de-
sireG.
The following was the programme, begin

toned entries The position was won by
Executor, and the trotters started off in
fine style for the first heat. Sciola, beau

it with ease all around the track. At the
quarter pole Big Soap and Executor were
right together, but the latter soon after
wards fol behind and continued so through
the heat Though Big Soap had many
favorites and showed up well, it was appar.
ent after the first mile had been trotted
that Sciola was too much for him. Sciola
took the first heat with ease. Time: 2279.
The horses came up fresh and full of spirit
for the second, with the interest OF the

showed some excellent trotting and much
better time than the first. Time, 225h. The

A great deal of interest centered in this
race, and. Clarence III. sold pretty high
against the field. 1t took some time to get
a good start, but they finally went off with
Clarence H. on the inside. He kept the
lead until past the first quarter pole.
Nomad came up handsomely at that point,
however, and went by the halfimile pole
was soon put third by Dick Shain. The
latter caught up with Nomsd on the last
stretch and went in first Nomad second,
and Clarence HI. third, thus winning the
first heat in 2:374. In the second heat

In the third heat Clarence took and kept
the first place around the course, followed |
by Nomad second and William Z. third,

last heat and finish OF the race, Clarence

Wildmoor, an old Texas horse, and a son
of Longfellow, was the universal fayorite,
and sold far in excess Of the field and all
other horses in the pools. The entries were
all good metal, and, as had been expected,
the race was very pretty one. Eli kept |
ahead until the first quarter pole was
reached, at which point Wildmoor and Jim |
Burts were side by side. From that point |
Wildmoor took the lead and, though fol- |
lowed closely by all three of the Others /
who ran together for half mile or so, CON-
pleted the first mile two or three length in |
advance Of Heartless, second; Eli, third, |
and Jim Burts fourth. Heartless strug- |
gled finely on the second mile, and kept |
second place considerably ahead Of Eli and |
Burts, but was una1 To catch Wildmoor, |
who won the second mile and race with /
comparative ease, never having been urged |
from the first. The race was highly ex- |
citing and enjoyed immensely, everybody |
being anxious TO witness Wildmoor's work. |
The first mile was finished in 1:50 and the
race in 3:45.
