SECOND HEAT.
Again was there trouble in getting a
start. Stevens had the best of il, with Lyon
second, while Hatch was considerably in
the rear, and evidently did not think il was

pushed forward, and was not last by any
means. When they passed under the wire

lengths Stevens being second and Hatch

front, and at the second turn was a length
in the lead Of Tommie. At the guait-r
pole Lycugus was three or four lengths be-
hind Laura and Tommie, who were neck
and neck As the animals came mp the
home stretch it was noticed that Laura was
a neck ahead of Tommie, Dut when they
passed under the wire one blanket wonid
have covered both horses nicely, while
Lycugus was several lengths behind. For
The second half Laura never lost her ad.
vantage, and won the heat by length, in
2:40.
SECOND HEAT.
No time was lost in getting a start, the
three steppers having their noses very
nearly in line when the bell tapped as a
signal to 60. As in the first heat, Laura
C. took the lead, and at the first turn was
4 length in advance of TOmnie, but at the
ahead of him, while 'Curgus was some dis
lance in the rear--say four or five lengths.
As the animals turned up the home stretch
Laura was length ahead of Tommie, but

neat by half length. Time-2:42
THIRD HEAT.
In this heat Little Tommie and Laura
had length the best of Lycurgus in the
send of, and at the quarter pole Tommie |
led Laura by length, while Lycursus WAS
two lengths behind. At the home stretch |
turn Laura broke and was crowded BY Ly |
curgus, and they passed under Tie wire |
with very little daylight between them. At |
the three quarter pole Laura was at Tom |
mics heels, and Lycurgus three iengtbs
behind. Tommie did some excellent work |
after leaving the quarter pole and gained |
but lost it on the home stretch,
winning by only length. Lycurgus was
half dozen lengths behind. Tim. al |
FOURTH HEAT.
The fourth heat proved to be the last
The animals were sent of in good style,
when Tommie, by honest work, took rrst
place, and held it by a length as he cir
lied twice around the track, never making
1 skip, while Lyangus was too far in the
ear to be considered a dangerous rival.
rime-2:42. This gave Tcmmie the race,

The BAZoo does not exaggerate when j,
states that more than ten thousand people
visited the park yesterday, and were de.
lighted by the mans attractions presented
by the management on the third day OF
their fourth annual Exposition. AT an
early hour in the morning the van guard
began to arrive, prophetic of the multitude
which crowded the grounds during the al
ternoon.
Again we're the regular and special trains
crowded, standing room commanding q
premium on the four Exposition trains thai
came in from Moberiy, Jefferson City,
Pleasant Hill and Lexington. In addition,
there was the spring wagon from the farm,
with its load Of lads and lasses each one
dressed in their Sunday best, and eager to
see all that would break the moIotcny of
q life 'far from The fretful crowd" and
give them u glimpse of the great outside
world; of the machine shops, wherein are
wrought out In clrystallized form the in

They came 10 see the sights, aid it was a
real pleasure to note their pleasure and
hear their many EXPLANATIONS OF surprise,
wonder and delight.
On the two previous days there was no
room to complain OF the attendance, but
Yesterday was one of the red letter kind,
and the hopes of the friends of the associa-
ton have been fully realized. The street
cars bore out loads all the morning, and
the grounds were soon filled by happy
and we'll pleased crowd. The band gave
forth delightful strains of music, the sun
shone with unwonted brightness, the sky
was almost without q heeting cloud, the
track resOunded in the morning hours to
the patter of the fast flyers as they sp eded
around the eiipse, the whir of machinery
was heard pulsating on the air, floral halls
blossomed and reveied in beauty aud COR
geousness, and the whole Scene was one OF
animation and life.

is due for their vigilance, courtesy and geu-
