The weather yesterday morning was OF
a doubtful character, the sky threatening
rain. The sun peeped out at noon, how
ever, and the greater part of the evening
it was bright and clear. The track, on
account of the rain the night before, was
a little SLOW, but not heavy. The number
of vehicles in attendance was not so great
as before, but the trains were almost as
much crowded, and the grand stand, when
the races began, was nearly filed, about
as many passing the gate in all as on the
first day. The sport was equally as good
as on any preceding day, and several
thousands changed hands. The pro
sramrne was an excellent one, there being
five races in all, but as one was a dead
heat, there were in reality six. The most
remarkable event OF the day was the hur.
die, when Captain Curry and Claude Bran.
non passed under the string so close to-
gether that the race had to be run over, 6
very unusual thing in a race oi
the kind, though common enough il
fiat races. Lutte Fogle again covered him
self with glory, and Centennial created {
panic among the friends of Miss Yates
The heaviest betting was done in tn,
fourth race, the French mutuals being tn,
favorite way, Fogle being taken for place
with comparatively few pools sold on any
of the other horses except Miss Yates.
The races began few minutes earle
than usual, ending rather late, on accoun
of the hurdle race. Perhaps the creates
surprise OF the day was the victory o
Topsy, defeating Princess, who was con
sidered almost invincible. Several of tn
bolder sporting men lost from 5000 to $50
in that race, and the crowd was badl.

They have pooled their means together,

FOFt1eth Annlversary

The celebration of the fortieth ami
versary of the wedding Of Mr.. and Mrs
Augustus Dennis, which came of a
their usually quie home on Eas
Third street, on Friday evening last
WAS an event well worthy of being pu
on record, one that will long be remem
bered by all who were present, aLt
their name was legion, for they filled
the house up stairs and down. Th,
guests began to assemble at about 81;
o'clock, p. M, and for two and a hall
hours, although there was neither wine
whisky, gin or any such kindred spirits,
there was . continuous flow Of good
hnmor from first 10 last.
During the evening a question that
has long been mOoied one with many
persons, was at least partially settled, to
wit: " Whether q woman could or could
not keep a secret" A most amusing
incident that occurred on the night OF
the espousals had been kept by the
bride up to that evening, but its rela-
ton even then, after 70 many interve.
ming years, called forth peals of langhte:
from all that heard it. About %
o'clock, p. M, the presents were TO he
made. The bride recei we'd very hand
some hair cloth rocker, with the uader-
standing, however, that the groom
could borrow it occasionally, silver
pitcher, a pair of silve napkin rings,
silver oyster ladle, sug ar spoon, a very
handsome glass stand, with a large
iced pound cake thereon, besides
numerous other mementoes OF affection
were brought ont.
And now the speeches all being over,
AZ many Of the party as could well get
in were invited to the dining room,
where large table was fairly groaHing
lnder its weight of pound, sponge, jel
y, cup and all kinds of cakes, as wei! AS
! most profuse abundance of fruit, such
II grapes, oranges, bananas, etc, and
IS far as your reporter was able to see
very individual surroundin & that table
vas well helped, and helped themselves
veil. The party consisted mostly OF
members of Asbury church, John G.
taker and wife, old and cherished
riends from Grace, were present, and
he former gave one Of his best speeches
uring the evening. Somewhere he.
ween the long hours Of the night the
ompany retired in good order.
