there, and was ordered off by the
judges, and forbidden to come on
again during the day The fifth race
was as follows:

In this race but two of the four
which had been entered appeared on
the track, Venture and Toby being
withdrawn. Mr.. Miles Clemintina
and VIM. Horan's Joe Dake were
paraded, both looking as neat as two
pins, and giving promise of a good
race. a good start was made, and
soon after getting away, the mare
took the lead and drew ahead couple
of lengths. This distance she MAIN
tanned throughout the heat, both
horses trntting handsomely. Clemin-
tina passed under the wire in 2:47s,
but in weighing, the judges decided
| that she came in with short weight,
and so the heat was given to Joe
| Dake.
Tie horses were taken away and
rubbed down, and after rather lsng
wait, were brought out again and
sent off well together. Bets were
freely offered against Joe Dake. and
as Clemintina took tie lead. trotting
very sqarely aud steadily, while the
| gelding broke once or twice rather
| badly, the odds were offered that he
| would be distanced. On the home
stretch the mare had gained so much
| that there seemed to be no doubt but
that the gelding would be left outside
| the distance flag. To avoid thi1 his
driver pressed him little too hard,
and he passed the flag OH the run as
| Clemintina trOtted under the wire.
The heat was the mares, and as the
judges decided that Joe Dake would
have been distanced if he had not run
by the flag, the race was also given
to Clemintina. The time ia this last
heat was 2:3O4
The next race was the Kahuku

Much to the satisfaction of the spec
tators, all the horses entered for this
race put in an appearance, and much
speculation was INDUCED in respect
ing their merits. The Beautiful Poni
Moi was decidedly the favorite, Lady
Hooker coming next. 0. III. wore
binders, and was not much regarded.
The horses were all wild to get away,
and after one or two starts they went
off on their own hook, the rider of o.
H. taking it for granted that the
shouts of "Go!' "Go!" from the
crowd of people on the track who
had no business to be there-much
less any right to be confusing the
jockeys with their shouts-were all
right, and keeping on in spite of the
calls from the bell for them to come
back. Lady HoOkeT's rider evidently
could not stop his horse, and the two,
followed by the rest, went around
once at racing speed, o. H. leading at
the end of the mile, and then he and
the Lady kept on again around, the
mare keeping on still another quarter
mile before stopping. Of course the
race had to be run over again, and
this time, in spite of the tremendous
exertiOn Lady Hooker had already
made, she led the mob in, and won
the race in 1871, POM Moi coming in
second and Stranger third.
All the horses ran finely, and at
the finish Lady Hooker and POM
Moi were so close together that the
former only won by a neck, her
jockey fairly lifting her to the front
in the last few strides. Stranger came
in a good third, and o. II. was not
very far behind. Mr.. Cornwell, who
represents the Waterford Stables, was
warmly congratulated On the success
of Lady Hooker, and looked not a
little pleased with the performance of
the mare and her rider.
The judges had previously an
nOuDced that the race set down in the |
programme as the ninth would be |
run after the sixth. Accordingly the |
horses were called for that race. The |
entries were as folio WIS:
GENTLEMEN RAcE-S5O. Trotting or pacing. |
