being well represented. The
day was perfect for turf
sports-a warm sun, with just a gentle
movement of the air while the track was
IN splendid condition, from three to five
seconds faster than on Wednesday. The
only drawback to the sport was caused by
the unnecessary and at times boisterous
chatting Of the drivers, and the fact that
several were afraid of getting records. so
that some of the races were not driven as
fast as they should have been.
The judges were VIM. McKusick, ]. G.
Gregory and II. G. Lyman, as On Wednes-
day, with Hon. j. n. Castle as timer. The
races were the unfinished 800 and 2:3O

bay mare Lady Elliott the other. For the

would have won in straight heats. if not

at once, if all right, get the necessary docu-
ments to prove it beyond a question.
With Scott out, Capitola was a warm
favorite, and she justified the confidence
placed IN her by winning the heat and the
race, though starting off badly, breaking
on the first turn and dropping to the rear
of the bunch. The half was trotted in
1:1512, with Peter Harry in front, followed
by Lady Elliott, Lady Florence and Black

lengths to the rear. In going

front, and won as she pleased, Lady Flor
