Races, But Slim Attendance.
Yesterday opened warm and bright, and
the day was all it could be asked for the
success of the Savannah races. The
weather had at last let up on the manage
ment, and at midday everything was far
for a large attendance. The prospect
however, didn't bring out the crowds, and
when the bugle sounded from the Judges
stand at . 80 O'Clock, there was hardly
larger attendance than on the opening
day. The track was in good condition
davis snort. At the call for the first race
only two entries came to the post:
1. c. W. Medinger. b. g. Bonnie Castle,
five wears old. by Bonnie Scotland, -
Bette Martin. To be sold for $500, claim
inc his weight of 101 pounds. Colors,
white jacket. with blue spots, and cap.
.. W. p. BuEch, oh. (. HELEN wallace,
four wears old, by Governor Hampton, "
Fannie Fisher. To be sold for 500; weight
1O7 pounds. Colors, blue jacket, orange
cap and cuffs.
The race was for all ages; mile heats;
nurse 5000: entrance $40, to be divided
between second and third horses; the
winner to be sold for 500. Horses en-
tered to be sold for $500 to be allowed
five pounds. If tor less, an additional
allowance of three pounds Tor every $IOO
under the latter price.
Some difficulty was experienced in get
ting a start, and it was only after several
attempts that a send off was accom-
plished. HELEN Wallace had the pole,
and IN the first quarter it promised
pretty race, the horses running neck and
neck and even as a line. From the half
mile stand the plucky chestnut made
= 10 of or oh
a gap with the gelding, gaining fine
lead, which she held to the end,
clearing the string a winner by good
length and a half. Time 1:51Z. There
was little excitement at the auction pool
stand. and bets were few and far between,
being $40 to SO on the favorite chestnut
against the field. After an intermissiOn
of twenty minutes the track was cleared,
and the horses brought up for the second
heat. More difficulty was experienced
in getting a start, but finally go was
called, and at the tap of the drum
the racers shot out from the
line. with the filly again in
the lead. 1t was hard pull to the half
mile pole, when the gelding fell back and
the favorite opened the gap on the same
stretch as in the first heat. At the three
quarter pole the game was up, and the
chestnut won the race in two straight
heats. distancing the gelding in :523l and
was sold to the owner at the entry price,
The second race was mile and a half
dash, purse $500, of which 500 10 second
horse. There were only two entries, Pet

years old, by King Alfonso, - Magenta,
and R. b; Fillmore, Dr. m. Palmetto, four
wears old, by PimlicO, - Trinket,
Weight, 90 pounds. COlOrs red and green.
The start was made from the halfmile
stand. and the horses got off fairly ON the
second call, with the Duke inside, 1t was
an even race on the first half mile. The
Judges stand was passed in fifty-eight
seconds. ON the even mile pull
the Duke led out length ahead.
There was little change i'm position till
on the homestretch, when he again struck
out and came in at a rafting pace away
ahead. Time 1881. Palmetto was tagged
and brought up to the Judges line In
| dripping foam. This ended the second
race.
At ten minutes past four the track was
cleared, and the riders mounted for the
last race, the Lamar stake, for two-year-

- Libby L.
The only starters were Lady Dean and
RhOderick Dhu, the former carrying three
| and a half pounds over weight. In the
choice for position Dhu had the inside,
There was a great deal of trouble i'll get
ting a start, owing 10 the restlessness of
the horse and the light weight of the
Jockey. The rider was unable to
! hold his animal in check, and at
at the first call went half round
| the course before he was under control,
The second attempt to get off was a
| worse failure than the first, and the pow
| erful Dhu took the bits and ran to the
| three-quarter stand before the plucky
! little Jockey could pull him in. A start was
| finally made, with Dhu again in the lead,
| but his mile and a half extra dash
| against time told against him in
the regular race. Up TO the first
quarter pole it was an even pull
with no favor, but on the back stretch the
| favOrite fell behind and the lilly led out
| and passed the half mile stand two lengths
ahead and kept on the gain. At the be-
| ginning of the hOmestretch the race was
up, and Lady Dean went under the string
| and was declared winner and Dhu dis
! tanced. Time l s54. According to the
rules of the club "A horse distancing the
| field in the first heat is winner
| of the race. This rule cut off
the last heat, and Lady Dean was declared
the winner of the stake. This closed the
days sport,
