The Third Race.

The last race of the day was the CASTOR
Hotel purse, $500, handicap for all ages.
This was a dash OF one mile, taking its
name from that clever and enterprising gen.
entered, as follows: Alex Ament, Pearl
Jennings, Lizzie s., Robert Bruce, Green
wood, Bagdad, Eva K. and Emma E.
Before the race Robert Bruce was
Withdrawn. The owner OF the well-knewn
Alex Ament claimed that his horse
was indisposed and asked permission 10
Withdraw him without being subject to
forfeit. This the judges refused to allow,
and Mr. Martin decided to run his horse
anyhow. The peol-selling was, of couse, af-
fected by this request, and but for it Alex
would have been big favorite. Despite,
however, his acknowledged Illness he had
plenty of hackers and sold close second to
Pearl Jennings, the favori'e. Buckden's
get are invariably popular now in the pools,
and their remarkable performances certainly
Justify the partially shown them. LIZ
rest were punched and sold together.
Before the race pools sold fol-
lowe: Pearl Jennings. 500; Alex
Ament, 5000; Lizzie s, $l46, and the
field, composed of Greenwood, Bagdad,
Eva K and Emma E., at S42. Alex Anent
was very FESTIVE before the race, N aking des-
perate efforts to throw his rider and trying
to Jump the fence. After a great many
effor to get the seven nervous beauties
| started, they were sent spinning away, with
| the fiery Alex Ament leading, Lizzie s. Sec
! end, and Eva K. third, the remainder
! punched. As they shot on toward The
| quarter-pole, Eva K. came up behind Alex
| Ament, who still held the lead; Bagdac
! also forged forward and grappled with Liz
! zie S VINO fell back. Pearl Jennings up Il
| his time had been running imperturbably
in the bunch. AS he neared the half-wile
pole there WAS a sort OF redisposilion o
| forces. Pearl Jennings came from thu
! crowd ard ran even with Alex Ament alter
| mating the lead between them, while Eva X
! was third and Lizzie S. fourth. At thu
| three Quarter-pole the complication OF affair
became still more thrilling. Alex Ament
Pearl Jennings and Lizzie were run
ming abreast, SO close that 1T wa
impossible to decide which had tn
lead The finish was even NOR
exciting than those of the other races. Tay
lor was riding Lizzie, Cross rode Pearl Jen
I nings, and Stovall was upon Alex Ament
All of them are cool-headed, skillful jockeys
and all were determined TO win. INTO In
stretch they came at lightning speed, raising
cloud of dust. Every noble thoroughbr,'
caught the whip as the jockeys got down t
their work. As they neared the stand tn
applause FROM the people was deafening
Those who had pat up their money slmos
held their breath. The ladies' hearts wer
in their mouths; and for a time it looked a
if all three OF the horses would win. Whe
within few feet of the string, Lizzie S.wa
seen to glide slightly forward, and despite tn
desperate running OF Pearl Jennings an
Alex Ameut, she came home winner, by
head. Pearl Jennings was second, Ale
Ament third, Bagdad fourth, Emma +. fifth
Greenwood sixth and Eva X. seventh. Thi
race was hardly test OF Alex Ament
powers, as it was manifest to everyone ye:
terday thai he was unwell. 1t was I'm
victory for Lizzie S. to win over such horse
as Ament and Pearl Jennings. Lizzie s
the winner, is pretty FLY and certainl
has plenty of speed in her. She belongs
