CRICKET MATCH.
A cricket match was played during the
day between q Baltimore and home team.
The game Is not much known here, and
did not attract much OF a crowd. The Vir-
ginians were badly beaten, making GS runs
only to the Baltimores' 1876.
The BaltImores entered the field first and
made so runs. The Virginians followed
in 13 runs. In the second inning the Bal
timores made 67 and the Virginias 55. On
the whole, the bowling was good, but the
wickets were bad.
The Races.
The trials Of speed yesterday were the
best during the Fair, and would compare
iavorably with any had on this track for
many years. The track was in good con-
dtion-only q. little dusty. The Grand
Stand was about half filed with people,
and many witnessed the races standing on
either side Of the track. In the morning
there was o matcb.race between j. G.
Smiths NiIas and - Nab, which was
won by the latter. This was a hali-mile
dash for a purse OF 1900. The time an
nounced for the races to begin was II. NJ,
but they did not commence until nearly a
half hour later.

The horses 10 this race started from the
three quarter pole. In the first heat very
good start was gotten after two or three ill.,
eGectual attempts, and for the first bali-mlle
the horses ran pretty well together, and
none OF them were pushed. After this
their gait was made TO quicken, aud TOma-
sia and TrollOpe drew ahead. The contest
between these two then was close, but on
the home.stretch The former forged ahead,
and won the heat by about two lengths.

This race was really intended only for
Virginia colts, but no such restriction was
made; so when IL was found that Pearl Me-
dium, The tbree.yt ar-Old mare from Mays
vile, KY, who Won the race on Wcdnes-
day, had been entered, the owners OF the
other colts drew them out. Consequently
the race had to be declared "oG," as u start
Of three Was required.

mcr, c., Thomas Adkins, Richmond.
This trial aroused more interest and
created more excitement than any other du-
ring The evening. In the first beat the
horses ran together until near the three
quarter pole, when Feline went TO the front,
followed close by Medoc, with Nilus third.
When coming In on the home-stretch Nilus,
who was well ridden, gained pace rapidly,
closed up the gap, and when not more than
fifty yards from the wire dashed to the
front and won the race by half length.
This was due TO the poor management OF
Eoline's rider, who, after he hid virtually
won the race, became over-contdent and
allowed himself 10 be beaten. Eoline regis
tered second, Medoc third. Emma Creamer
fourth, and Pearl Tyler fifth. Brook Hill
was disianced. Time, 1904. In the
second and third heats, in the latter OF
