 Yesterday was an extra fine day for the
 horse races at Hamilton Park considering the
 lateness of the season. The track was in ex-
 oellent condition. When the horses were called to the track for the first heat at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon there were about three hundred people present, among them
 being about twenty ladies. FftRsT HFAT-2:56 GLASS. The horses which appeared on the track for this heat were: Lodi Belle, which was the favorite in the pools, she selling for $25 against the field for $1O, Ben Butler, Beecher and Fred. After several attempts to score the horses went under the wire in good shape, the pole horse, Lodi Belle, quickly taking the lead with Ben Butler second. The l horses trotted the first half in good shape, but oh the three quarters Lodi Belle went up in the air and Ben Butler took the lead. Lodi Belle soon came down oh her feet again and wheti oh the h0mestreteh passed Ben Butler and won the heat with Ben Butler sec cad.
 SECOND HEAT. This heat was one of the worst ever trot- ted on the Hamilton Park track. The hor ses broke on the first dtiartef and continued on run until on the hon1estretch, when Lodi Belle settled down to work and soon drew away from the other horses and came in first, winning the heat with Ben Butler sec- ond.
 THIRD HEAT. It was plainly evident that the other horse were no match for Lodi Belle as she took the lead at the start and was twenty yards ahead of Beecher the second horse, when they went under the wire at the finish.

 second place. On the half Westchester Girl went into the air and fell to second place, but she soon got down to work again and passed under the wife in the lead, with Sylvia M. second and Lady Finch third. SECOND HEAT. This heat was easily won by Cuba, who came in fourth in the previous heat. He did some good trotting in this heat, with Lady Finch, who did not once break during the mile, as second.
 THIRD HEAT. Lady Finch was the horse for this heat, although Westchester Girl gave her a hard push on the homestretch and was only a sulky length in the rear. The latter was unable to make up this difference and Lady Finch won the heat.
 FOURTH HEAT. This heat was also won by Lady Finch, who had it all her own way, with Westches- ter Girl second. The race was then post poned until this afternoon on account of darkness.

 Hubbell came into the judges stand and said that he wanted to go right home and wanted to know if he could have his money which his horse won. The starter who was manag- ing the race told Mr. Hubbell that if he came to the hotel he would give him his money MT. Hubbell said that he could not wait and the starter said he would give it to him then if he would pay the entrance fee of Boston John, which he had by letter entered for G. H. Washburn. Mir Hubbell didn't see how he could be held responsible for Washburn's horse, although he acknowledged that he wrote the letter entering him at MT. Washburns request. Mr. Hubbell was then told to come to the hotel in the evening when the matter would be settled as they could not stop the races to settle the matter then. At this Mr. Hub bell got excited and said the whole races were sharp game and that he knew before he came that the races were given to cheat and that he would publish them. MT. Hub bell also used other ungentlemanly language towards the judges and was ordered from the stand. The matter, however, was settled at paid his money.
