The races of to-day will in no wise be H.
jured by the rain of yesterday. Horsemen
say that the track will be- greatly improved
and in much better condition than at any
time during the week, il no more rain falls
to-day. The ground was very dry, and it
quickly absorbed the rain of yesterday, and
will to-day be il prime, good condition.
The award of prizes TO the ladies' tourna-
ment will be made at the Pavilion to- tight
The Races.
The attendance at the races yesterday wss
very large fully equal to that of the day pre-
vious. The weather was cool enough to
satisfy the most devoted San Franciscians,
who had growled at the heat of Monday and
Tuesday. About $3.50 P. N. the cloudy sky
grew dark, clouds of dust raised by contest
ing winds blowing from all quarters, appaT-
emily, swept up and down the track, and
filed the air 50 that one could not see dis
tauce of fifty yards. Hats were blown across
the paddock, light wraps waited alOft, para
soils reversed, plumes dissrrsDged, bonnets
crushed in, horse nsts torn off or turned over
the animals heads, the cards on the judges
bulletin board torn down, and all sorts Of
light damage done. The people enjoyed the
scene immensely, and cheered loudly eyary
unlucky pedestrian who went scudding after
his fleeing bat. Presently thunder was heard,
sheet and foIked lightning flashed athwact
the lowering sky, and Just as the consols-
tion race was called, down came tbs
rain. Then there was one of the
liveliest and most amusing scenes Witnessed
that has ever been recarCei. Twelve hun
dred peopls in the paddock aud on the course
broke for cover, while the 1900 under shelter
poked all sorts of fun at them. and gave
them sonorous and gratuitous advice how TO
dodge between the drops ana pick themselves
out Of the sloppy mud Of the track that de-
veloped In ten seconds after the down pour be-
gan. For the next half hour, between the
laughter of enc side, and the chsgrin of the
other, the storm, mud, thunder and lightning,
the dripping jockeys AID the dreuched pedes-
trians, there was meyrimeDt and entertain
meut enough to satisfy the most laughter
loving mortal ever born. The race was saut
off in the midst of the rain, and part Of it
vas run in mud ho0f deep. The jockeys camein
so covered with mud, and their faces so plas-
tered with mother earth, that it was difficult
90 recognize them, while their silk and satin
uniforms were fairly ruined 1t was their
own desire to run the race, despite the storm,
for at one time the Board of Judges were on
the point of ordering the race postponed
the rain of yesterday, if nos greatly added
to last night will put the track to day in the
best condition lay all dust effectualiy, purify
the air, and make to-day one Of the very
plessanSsst OF the season.
