entered into the home-stretch were neck
and neck. 1t was a toss-up as to which
should win, and the hackers of the faYorite
hastily increased their bets, but many,
however offered odds on Ascender. The
field was punched, and when they were
all well turned down the home-stretch, the
whip was vigorously applied and the dust
from thirty-six Gathering hoofs rose in
clouds. On came Ascender, Fellowplay
straining hard to gain few inches lost in
making the turn. Halfway down Ascender
had Fellowplay on his quarter, and at this
moment dark horse loomed up. Aretino
made a magnificent bound, cleared the
bunch and for the remainder of the dis
tance gained steadily upon the leading
horses but Ascender passed under the string
about length ahead OF Fellowplay, with
Aretino good third.

Second Race.
Five horses were entered for this race
and the quiet ones put their money on
Annie o., though the favorite was Ghost,
slim three-year-old. Two or three bets
at even were made on Campanini but the
green ones, from pure attachment, put
their money on Annie G.. Selling race
| purse, $3.50; horses entered to be sold for
| $1,000; to carry full weight $3.50 allowed

Cassidy entered bay geiding, Campanini

| Dick Brown; G. Doyle entered brown
gelding, Roche. The start was easily made
with Campanini in front, Annie q. next
At the eighth-mile post Annnie q. bulgec
ahead, Roche second, Dick Brown fourth
The three-quarter post was passed in thi
order, and coming down the home-stretcl
the horses strung out one behind the
other. There was very little enthusiasm
as it was a foregone conclusion, from th'
first quarter-post, that Annie q. woulC
win. The advantage obtained then wa
held all around the track, Ghost following
a couple of lengths behind, and the othe
horses sliding in and out, the colors of tn
Jockeys shining like the bits of glass in
kaleidoscope. Dick Brown was badly lei
from the jump and constantly last. Cam
panini lost at the first quarter-post all tn
advantage gained at the start and wa
soon forgotten. Coming down the HON
stretch the racers strung out one benin
the other, Annie G. constantly gaining
She galloped under the string fully te
lengths ahead of Ghost, whose ride
seemed only anxious, after passing tn
last quarter-post, to gain second place.

, broke a stirrup-strap and in the turf
could with difficulty keep his seat. BIT
: for this Ghost might have won.
