Three straieht Heats.


 The Order Oe the EznnnIlton Park Races-
 Some Splendid COntests-NIa5Or and
 Queen the VVfnners-FIne Attendance.
 Some eight or nine hundred people ven tursd forth to brave the breezes and see the races at Hamilton Park yesterday afternoon, and they were well repaid for their attempt. The only obstacle was the cold. The sun shone, but it's rays did not seem to have any effect. In fact old Boreas knocked Sol out every time. The races were two in number and they were both won in three straight heats, although there was . hard struggle. It is somewhat remarkable to have tive days' races won by the favorites, each in three heats. But the races this afternoon will be different, probably, and more even contests may be expected. ssss aE.ssasz ss szss,
 The first race was the 2:5O class for purse of S2OO. The horses, seven in number, came out promptly and got away without much difficulty. The horses were pretty well punched around the turn, but on the back stretch Major pulled away from the rest. Pro- lessor Medium proposed to contest the race for all it was worth, but the Major was lit tie too swift. Vermont Black Hawk broke and fell behind and was shut out Jarvis Joslyn,s horse, Stranger, finished third and Wonder fourth. In the next heat Jim and Samuel 0. were left outside the distance flag The Major had it all his own way. Wonder, for wonder, got second place. The third and last heat was taken easily by Major. For third place there was lively struggle, but Stranger shot his little nose ahead of Wonder as they crossed the finish wire. Ma ior won first money, Professor Medium second and Stranger third The favorite in the pools was Major from the start. Follow ing is the

 The second race was the 2:36 class Fancy was selling strong as the favorite in Charlie Downs pool stand. But the field men were there too. Many thought that Brilliant would prove too much for Oven Others backed Jessie 0. with confidence. But the rule was Queen $35, field $10, and there were plenty of buyers, even after the second heat. The field men began to get scared at Queens two victories, but the heats had been close enough to render them still sanguine. If Brilliant would only keep his feet and not get net tied, said one confident-looking pool buyer, ''he would show Dan Mace at least two lengths of daylight" But Brilliant was too unsteady and again Mace was triumphant The three heats were very similar. Queen got the lead each time and was not headed, and often when Brilliant and Jessie o. were straining every nerve to get by Dan Mace would calmly hold in his horse and look around and smile upon his competitors. Jes sic 0. did some good work and once or twice almost got up even with Queen. In the last heat Brilliant was fourth on the start but by the half had left the others in the rear and was giving Queen hard struggle, but around the turn Queen steadily increased her lead. and with a-look of hopeless resignation the field men saw their money going with every fall of Queens steady hoofs. Jessie 0. got second money. Brilliant third. The follow ing is the

The great race, however, is the free for all. The entries are Jimmie Stewart, Driver, Troublesome, Louise.
