THE RACES,
The First Day-Two Interesting Trials
of Speed.

| Tuesday the first day of the fair, was
blank i'll the racing side of the pro-
gramme as well as on Others but the dis
appointments of the spectators were re-
lieved by the announcement during their
progress on Wednesday, that they
would be continued over Saturday, and
! to add to the attraction a running race
was announced for each afternoon up to
that time Five runners were then in
| the stables. and 20 say that the audience
took this announcement kindly is to say
no more than was true.
One very unfortunate feature was de-
veloped during the afternoon, which
threw a wet blanket upon the friends
of one of the favorites, Lady Cecil
| After she had trotted two heats, winning
! one of them, protest against her record
was entered and sustained. and she was
| thrown out of the race, and probably
barred from all future trials.
| Ii seemed that Lady Cecil, who is en-
| tered by John Dunbar, driven by Mr.. Il.
| c. Crouch and owned by Mr.. VIM. Dis
/ ton. OF Philadelphia, three years ago
| trottud at Chicago, and won q record of
, -. She was entered in the 2.45 class
| here Mr.. Il. c. Crouch when called
before the Judges, said he knew nothing
of the mares history previous to her
! coming into his hands, but when Mr..
Distun was iuterrogated by Chief Judge
EanAustiu, he admitted that Lady Cecil
! had trotted at Chicago at the time named.
| under the name OF Lady Thorne, and that
she had record of 2.225. This ruled the
mare out and re-nstated Hero, who had
been distanoed in the second heat. This
occurred in the second trial of the after
noon, and created quite a rustic in bet
tin- circles. DR.. James \. Mearns made
the protest and J. w. Simmons appeared
as 4 witness.
