Results of the Last Two Races Nc'-
tcrday.
Yesterday was a bad day for tpstcrs at
Ivy City. The favoritcs won but two races
and were badly beaten in the other three.
The attendance was very large, the number
Of private carriages on the indcld being
about as large as was ever seen at any meet
ing Of this club. The diplomatic corps was
largely represented, Mr.. Ilillyar of the
English Legation having a four-in-hand
party in charge. The Spanish Minister, the
Portuguese Minister and many others were
present with their ladies'. There was fair
sprinkling of Congressional loOkers-on.
Kentucky was represented by Senator Beck,
who has never missed being present at the
races since the organization Of the club. In
former days--that Is, In DAYS during the
last and previous administrations Govern
meut clerks were very numerous, but they
are a scarce article on the track now. 1t is
not so easy TO get excused to attend the
races as II was, and Departmental clerks,
female MS well as male, are noticeable now
only bccouso they are absent There was a
small army Of cOlorod men, stable attaches,
present, engaged as usual In giving points
to amateur botters, but the points they
gave were more frequently misleading than
Otherwise.
THE CRITIC gave the winners In the first
three races yesterday. The fourth race
was a surprise, and an expensive one TO
many. Cardinal McCloskey was backed
heavily to win. The fellows who were be-
hind him were so certain Of winning that
they felt that they ought to have their
money without the formality Of going over
the track But the result showed how easily
IL Is to make a mistake, for he never had
any show for the purse. UbcrtO cut out
the pace and led the seXtet until within
seventy-nyC yards of the wire, when Tony
Foster ran MP and captured the prize. The
Cardinal was last and his hackers were
greatly disappointed.
The betting was as follows: Auction

frankie b. was, the knowing ones said, a
certain winner Of the six furlOng heat race
that closed the sport for the day, and they
placed their money that way, The Ken
tuckians present thought otherwise, and
backed McBowling. frankie b. took the
first heat, but the two succeeding ones
