To-Day's Programme.

track was in excellent condition and all
things seemed to work together for good
to those who love turf sport.
The first event of the afternoon was
the half mile dash for the Bluff City cup
stake, TOR two-year.olds. In the pools
CELSIUS was the favorite, selling for $40 in
q S17 pool. The horses which started
we're as follows: Howard Arnett, VIM.
II. Arnett, Sharon, Ills; Irish Lass,
Holly 81 Garlic, Denver; Alameda,
Eugene Leigh, Minneapolis, Mimi; Adj
Guydett, M. Nusbaum q Co., Maryville,
Mo. Kentucky Bill, VIM. Boyd, Hills
dale, Iowa.
Jesse j.. entered by Jesse Grail, of
Atchison, Ka., was drawn. The starters
were placed as follows Kentucky Bill,
Alameda, Guydell, Howard Arnett,
CELSIUS, Irish Lass, Adventure.
Tho same judges, starters, and timers
served as on the day before, with the ad-
dition of Colonel Sapp. Colonel Abbott
served as marshal, and as on the day
before, did efficient service in that capa-
city.
There was the usual delay in getting
off, without which a running race wouldn't
be a running race, but finally the horses
got the drumtap, and away they sped,
with Irish Lass in the lead and CELSIUS
close upon her. They kept pretty well
together, the others punched close be-
hind. 1t was a lively dash, but Irish
Lass was evidently too speedy, and came
under the wire the winner, her rider not
touching her with the whip. CELSIUS was
tapping her, but only by much urging.
Alameda came in third. Time, 503.
MIR. Haley, one of the winners. was
present to receive thelelegant silver emp.
Besides this was the $15 entrance with
$3.50 added by the association. The
second took $50, and the third saved
stakes.
The others in the race came in as fol-
lows Guydette fourth; Adventure fifth,
Kentucky Bill sixth, Howard Arnett was
left at the post.
The second event of the afternoon was

special pacing race on the programme.

ILL.,. "Niphon," r. Jervis, LIE Mars,
Iowa; ''La Belle NJ" Eugene Leigh,
Minneapolis, Mimi; "Titus, S. l.. Will
liams, Comanche, Iowa.
In the pools La Belle N. was selling
at So to the fields So and 81.
1t was a slow and tedious start. Nj
phon led from the start, and kept the
lead to the finish, the horses being pretty
well punched. The race was rather slow,
the finish being a little lively, however.
Niphon won; La Belle NJ, second, and
st. Paul, third Time, LOB.
The third event was the hotel stake, a
three-quarter mile dash, for three-year-
Odds, The first taking the S15 entrance

j. Scoles, Moberly, Mo-; slim Shelby"
Holly 81 Garlic, Denver; Gamma a."
Weis Bros, Maquoin, Ill. emma H."
Harvey Pickerel, York, Neb.
The pool selling en- this race was rather
feeble, Lady Tompkins being rather the
fayorite, but not very strongly so.
The race was a punched one, and on
account of the huddle there was some
poor riding, Fletch Taylor took and kept
the lead, winning the race in 1:18; Jim
Shelly second, and Lady Tompkins third.
The rider of Lady Tompkins claimed a
foul of the winner, but it was disallow-
ed.
The closing race of the day was for
the Omaha stake and more interest was
taken in it than any other of the days
programme. 1t was for all ages, the
winner taking $40 entrance with 500
added, the second money being $50, and
the third saving stake. 1t was a dash of
Ii miles. the starters named as placed
were 'Ella Rowe't,' S. E. Butcher, Cam
anche, Iowa, ''rrIx," l.. W. Benson,
Maquon, Ill "Veron" Joe Van Bus
kirk, Shenandoah, Iowa; "Black Prince"
Harvey Pickerel, York, Neb. 'Aliunde,"
Gray q Co., Maryville, Mo.
In the pools there was lively bidding,
with Aliunde as first chance, Trix for
second. The field selling slow.
There was a good start, and on pass
ing under the wire the first time Vernon
was in the lead and Ella Rowett close
upon him. Aliunda came up,well though
and soon got his nose ahead, and held the
lead, widening gradually the gap between
and Trix, who was neck and neck much
of the time with Ella Rowett for second
place. Aliunde passed under the wire
the winner by two lengths, Trix second,
Ella Rowett third, Black Prince fourth,
and Vernon fifth. The mile was made in
l:443, and the mile and a quarter in 2:13.
