Jupiter Pluvius is evidently a victim
of dyspepsia or some other ailment. judy
| ing from his treatment Of the Jockey
Club. The weather yesterday was poor
enough TO receive admission to the poor
house. The atmosphere was full Of damp
ness and the spirit Of mankind was de-
pressed. The spectators were numerous,
and they patronized the beer and lunch
stands with unstinted libera4ty.
The first race was a tive.eighths Of a
mile dash for the Association purse. In
the pools Lady Loud sold for 500,
ZamOra $50, Miss Yates $40 and Galaxy
and Manitoba in the field for so. The
patience of Colonel Montgomery was well
nigh exhausted in his endeavors to
effect a good start, and when they did get
away Miss Yates captured the pole, with
Lady Loud second, Zamora third, Mani
toba fourth and Galaxy last At the quar-
ter pole Lady Loud was first, as she was
at the three-quarter pole. When the
feet turned into the home stretch Lady
Loud took the outside Of the track, where
the ground was not heavy. Zamora was
several lengths behind, bat managed 10
overtake Miss Yates and made a break
for the leader, and managed TO get between
the Lady and the fence, in order to force
the leader out in heavy ground.
Lady Loud went under the
wire first, with ZamOra second,
but when the jockey of the latter
claimed a foul on account Of Lady Loud
keeping linn on the outside, the Judges
Immediately allowed the claim, and Ia
mora was awarded the race, which engen-
dered bad feeling all around.
The second race was dash Of one and
one-sixteenth miles, with Aztec and As
Gender starters, and with the former
the hvOrite at odds of 4 to |. This
race was, by all means, the grandest event
Of the season. Aztec gained a good lead
and kept his good advantage until the
bill was reached, when Ascender
began to crawl up with splendid grace
and action. When the pair turned into
home-stretch they were running like the
wind and everybody went wild with ex-
element when it was seen that Ascender
was getting on close terms with the lead
er. Both horses were going for all they
were worth, and an eighth Of nile from
the finish, Ascender was abreast Of Aztec's
shoulders. A little farther on it was neck
and neck, when Ascender made a mag
nifcent burst, which carried him under
the wire, a winner by half neck. Ii was
a noble race between noble animals, and
both Ascender and his mount deserve
unlimited praise. Time, l:55K.
The third event was a three quarter
mile heat race in which Slocum sold in
the pools for SIS, Callao S25, and the field,
composed Of Campanini, Musk, Lille B,
Judge Duling, and Alcena, SIS. The
positions from the start were varied until
near the wire, when Csllao, who had
been struggling with Lille B, went Ia
the front, andsswon the heat by shade
The second heat was finely contested, and
was won by Musk, with Lille B good
second, Slocum third, and Callao fourth
The last heat was really a race between
Musk and Callao, and owing to the dark.
ness their positions could not be seen until
near the wire, when Callao was seen in
the lead, running easily, and winning the
race.
