good races. 0nly two OF the races
were we'll contested. The first, one
mile and half furlong, had len start
ers, and 1t YVES run for all the horses
we're worth. The second race was
drawn, owing to the failure Of Rose to
start, and the conditions requiring
three starters. The third had four en-.
tries, all OF which had come hackers,
first Emma Manley and then Dausman
being the favorites. The fourth, in |
which Sir Joseph and Hopedale con-
tested, was the dulleit race OF the
season, as Sir Joseph had it all his
own way.
PI6sT RACE.
For this event there wera len start
ers. Petticoat, Poll Lewis, Probus,
Jim Nave, Dawn Of Day, Fronie
Louise, Bob Swimm, Leroy, Watch
EN- and Monarch. Pettieoat was ia
Vorite till nearly time for the start,
when BIB Swimm YVES bringing most
money in the pools. Considerable
time was Loot in starting. When the
word was given the horses were well
together. PettiCoat and Dawn Of Day
foon got slight lead, which they held
till near the foot of the hill, when Bob
Swimm was even with them. The
whole lot came int the homestretch
well together, and four of them well
to the front till the finish, when Petit
coat was first, Watch EN- second,
Fronie Louise third, the balance close
behind, except Dawn OF Day, who had
broken or been cut down near the
head of the stretch, where che was
left. Petlicoat sold under conditions
OF the race, was taken by her owner at
the selling price, $1,000.
SECOND RACE.
First Heat.-There were four start
ers-Fffie H., Dausman, War Sign and
Emma Manley. Fer some time the
latter was the favorite, but just before
the start Dausman had become popu
lar, it having been given out that his
owners had $500 on him, and some
taking him because he had light
weight and a good jockey. At the
start Effie II. and Emma Manley had
Just a little the best Of it, on even
| terms, and Dausman and Ellie II. to-
gether and nearly even with the lead
ers. They ran in pairs till the third
quarter, when they were in bunch.
Coming down the homestretch they
all worked well, and the whip was
vigorously applied to three of them.
Dausman flushed first, by about half
q length; Efiie II. second, and Manley
third.
Second Hedt.-Dausmsn was still ia
voIite, although there were many who
doubted whether he would hold out,
some saying Emma Marley would
outlast him, and others thinking Efie
H. would go better in the second hest.
They coon got good start and made
a rapid race, finishing well together;
Dausman frat, Marley second, Efie H.
third.
THIRD RACE.
Warrenton had been withdrawn
and Sir Joseph and Hopedsle were to
make the race, II il could have been
30 called. The bookmakers didn't
want TO bet anything against Sir
Joseph, but few oil them kindly put
up against IL, aud al were paying as
much rs 6 to against Hopedale. The
two horses went up to the head OF the
quarter stretch and were given the
word on the first attempt. They came
pact the stand very near together, Sir
Joseph with slight lead, which he
increased to several lengths before
reaching the half mile. On the third
quarter Sir Joseph took it easy, and
Hopedale came 10 20 near that they
turned into the straight nearly even,
Sir Joseph retained slight lead to
the finish, winning very easily.
