The Races.
Gen. Butler was the center OF attraction yes
terday afternoon until nearly O'Clock. The
day was extremely windy, and good time was
impossible. The crowd was again very large,
and it is safe to guess there were more than
$4,000 psople within the gates when the first
race on the programme was called. To many
people it was more than ordinary surprise to
see twice many spectators in the grand stand
Immediately after the disappearance of the cham
pion Massachusetts statesman there were dur
ing the time he was delivering his address The
inference, of course, is too clear to be enlarged
upon. The first race proved an easy victory for
Billy Dayton, but the 2:25 trot the prettiest
race Of the day and week. Lulu Judd, Pedro and
Gen. Hanc ock were so evenly matched that they
made a portion of every heat neck and neck.
Lulu Judd took the first heat, Pedro the second
and Gen. Hancock the next three. In the third
heat Hancock came under the wire in 2:24H.
| According to advertisement Commodore Kittson's
Minnie r.. and Firobrand were sent mile to beat
Westmonts 2: 4, but it was fully understood
| by everybody that the gale would prevent the
pair from covering the mile in that phenomenal
time. At 5 o'clock Splsn sent them a warming
up mile in 2 :a1, and at 40 he let them go round
at wonderful pace, making the distance in
2:11A. Under the adverse circumstances this
time was remarkably good. Darkness was
| settling down upon the grounds when the last
heat of the 2:25 class finished and the run
ming race had to be postponed.
TRoTTINe, 2:4O CLASS.
The first race was called at 4:15 the starters
being Billy Dayton, Jennie G and Ida May. Billy
n
pole, Billy second, Jennie G third. At the
quarter the horses were all going level in the
| order of starting. At the half there was no
change in the positions, but Billy and Jennie
had pulled up very close to the leader. At the
| thTee-quarters Billy and Ida were almost on even
terms, and at the head Of the stretch Ida left her
feet and Billy rushed to the front. little later
Jennie made play for Ida, and would have beaten
| her home but for break at the distance. Billy
| Dayton went under the wire first, five lengths
ahead Of Ida May, Jennie G third, two lengths
| further back. Time, 2:32H.
SECOND HEAT.
Billy Dayton had matters as he liked all the
way round, and had to go slow at the finish to
allow the others TO save their distance. Ida May
was never pushed for second place. Time,
2:33%.
| THIRD HEAT.
In the third heat a suspicion existed among
| the judges that the driver of Ida May was not
! sending her to win, so a new man was put up be-
hind her. At the turn Ida May fouled Billy Day
ton, sending him to the rear. In the second
quarter Billy came up to second place and at the
three-quarters was neck and neck with Ida. In
the stretch he went by his chief adversary and
won the heat and by three lengths in 2:3O4,
Ida May second, Jennie G third.
