THE THIRD DAYS RACES.
An Accident in the Three-Minute TrOt,
Which Prevents Its Conclusion.
Minnie R. Wins the Free fOr-All Pacing Race
in Fast Time-The Running Race
POstpOned-TO-Day's Programme.

The attendance at the third days races of the
trotting meeting yesterday was about 1OOO
among whom were many ladies' The three
minute trot took up the greater part of the after
noon, and then was not concluded-a fact that
can be attributed principally to the slowness Of
the judges in making their decisions, and thei1
waste of time in arguing matters in
dispute. Lookout finished in the
lead four heats, two of which were
dead heats, or rather no heats-once because the
judges thought Jasmines driver was not trying
to win, and the other for some less apparent
reason which was not explained. In the sixth
heat the two horses collided on the turn coming
into the home stretch, and with their respective
drivers were thrown to the ground. Mr.. D. P.
Bissell, of this city, who had been but up behind
Jasmine, was badly bruised and could not con-
tnue. The heat was given to Prinston. who
logged in, and the accident was declared to
have been unavoidable. Then followed an hour
of tedious wrangling by the judges, which took
up the time until dark, when it was announced
that therace would be concluded this afternoon.
The free forall race was won in straight
heats by Minnie R., who showed fine speed In
the half-mile running race, both Bozart and
Boston won heats and it was postponed until
to day. The former was ridden by lady-Miss
Nellie Burke, who showed much ability as a

good order in the third attempt, with jasmine at
the pole. She trotted away from the others and
at the quarter led by three lengths over Look
out, with Prinston away badly behind Look
out kept well up, and at the half was at the
sulky wheels of the leader On the back stretch
he trotted very fast and forced Jasmine off her
feet, and then logged in winning easily, with
jasmine second and Prinston running away
back at the flag. Prinston, however, was al
lowed to start again, as he was set to running by
the breaking of his harness. Time, 1885,.
Second Heat-The horses got off in good shape
on the second attempt, with Lookout in the
Lead which position he kept up to the back
stretch when Jasmine made a play for the
lead and for three hundred yards blanket
could have covered both horses. The gait was
too hot for Jasmine, however, and she broke,
inside the flag Time, 2:40.
Third Heat-Lookout broke at the tand and
jasmine led up to the third quarter when the
horse trotted her off her feet and won in a Jog
in 2:39
The judges declared the heat off, acting under
the belief that Mr. Dimmick was not driving
Jasmine to win, and another heat was ordered.
Fourth Heat-Mr. D. P. Bissell was put up
behind Jasmine and the change resulted bene-
fcially as he drove the mare steadily and made
her win handily, with Lookout close second,
and Prinston third, there being an improve
ment in the time, which was 2:344.
Fifth Heat-Jasmine broke at the wire and
Lookout took the lead and kept it. At the half
jasmine, who had been coming up and had the
POLE was pocketed by Lookout, who turned
in too soon on the turn He beat Jasmine in by
a neck, but the judges decided that it was
dead heat Time 2374.
Sixth Heat-Jasmine led from the pole but
was pushed by Lookout. Just beyond the three
quarter pole, the two leaders collided, both of
the drivers, and horses as well, being thrown to
the ground, and Prinston logged in and was
given the heat After tedious consultation,
the judges decided that the accident was una
voidable, and postponed the remaining heats
It'll to-day.
