track in prime condition.
THE FIRST RACE,
| three quarters of a mile, was contested by a
team Of eight, including Fellowplay, Wedding
Day and Eva K. The betting opened in ia

ground toward the las;, and the margin he

The race from this point on was was very
exciting, all OF the contestants running

pole Wedding Day passed Eva and closed

the emergency, and after a pretty struggle
in the last fifty yards passed under the
string the winner BY length, Eva good
third.
THE GAsToN STAKES,
three quarters Of mile, which followed, was
entert aiming chiefly on account of the trial of
speed between Lloyd Daily and Unknown, Jen-
nie M, the remsining entry, being much less
thought of. Her performances, however,
showed that che deserved ) better opinion.
DAILY was the fsvorite at nearly three TO one,
but there were many who pinned their faith
to the gray FLY, and took bets on her in
every conceivable style. The three went off
almost in a line, with Jennie in the vsp,
Daily second. Unknown quickly closed the
daylight ahead OF her, aud the three ran al
most dead heat to the turn. There tue
gray filly showed her speed and passed to the
fore. Daily made strong fight and, like
Jennie took the whip finely, but the gallant
gray was too feet for tkSm and won by 5
clear length.
THE EVENT OF THE DAY
was the Lee-Line handicap, one mile and
Montalbsp, Wsllaueee, Katie Creel, Ballast
and Pope Leo. Ballast caught the bettiss
men, aud he sold al nearly three TO one over
the Duke, who was, OF course, second choice.
Katie Creel sailed away in the front, Ballast
second, and the Duke along with the other

also made spurt aud went by Katie and
Wallausee. The whole string came around
the last turn in close order, and kept up the
psce until about half way down, when the
Duke closed on Ballast, and finally passed
him, winning by a length aud half
THE LAST RACE
was for the Ka,zenberger selling sweep
s, axes, one aud ene-sixteenth miles. Geo.
Hskes was slight favorite, with Joe Slarks
next, Monticello and Mi Hughes about even,
and the field selling well up. 1t was thought
to be any body rs race, and for that reason The
interest in the result was more general than
is usual. Joe Siarks got the advantage in the
start and kept it throughout, though closely
pressed By Callao snd Hskes, for fret place,
the others running well up for second. The
pace down TO the finish was very strong,
all Of the horses being driven and evidently
doing their beat, Callae passing ID axes after
handsome contest. The Memphis horse
Greenwood ran surprisingly well, and at ous
time those who had bet ten to one against
him for second place, began 10 feel rather
shaky, but Starks was not 10 be headed, and
came in clean winner; Callao second,
Hakes third.
