The Great Ben Ali Beaten by Silver
Silver ClOud-The Leading Feat
ures OF the Races.


very good and track fast. A happy
combination OF circumstances made
the opening day at Washington Park
a very attractive one both 10 the pub
lie, the betting man and the as ocia-
ton. The racing was much better
than the average and the letting was
good, no. one favorile winning, these
that invested in French mutuals get
ting large returns. The attendance
was beyond description. The D. rby,
ia which most interest was taken, re-
suited in a complete surprise. Silver
Cloud, after many disappointments
when he was thought good, won when
least expected, neither his owner,
Warner, or jockey thinking before the
start that he would win. Higgins
entry continued the favoTite to the
last although it was known that the
hoIsts were not doing well. In fact,
Haggin declared bsfore the race that
he did did not think he could win.
Bus Wig ran as II he was sale. A
few, who have never overlooked Sill
YER Clouds performances last year,
won considerable money. The very
large attendance was of the most re-
spectacle sort, and good order aud
much enthusiasm were the leading
features of the day.
