There did no. seem to be any doubt
about the result of the first race,
Climax being so great a favorita over
Dau man, Frorie Louise, Lucas and
Clonee Inst none oithen were backed
to any ex ent tc win. For second
choics Dausmsn had plenty OF back
ers, however, largely on account of his
Jockey, the lucky Covlngton. The
odds against them all were great, 80

no takers, while there were plenty

mile, and DJusmau and Lucas took
the drum at its tap, Clonee falling
back fifty yards before the turn was
made. Lucas was pushed from the
start for all he was worth, but was
obliged to give way, running neck and
neck for hat mile with Dausman,
Fronie Louise and Climax shutting
out the daylight between. At the
turn @ imax began to put in some
splendid ticks, teemipg TO move
toward the font without effort, and

man second and Lucas third.
SECOND RACE.
The second, heat race, seven fur
longs, puzzled the boys considerably.
There were five starters: Wahco,
Skobeloff, Porter Ashe, Fannie B. and
Effie H. The book makers did net
care about putting sny money on
Porter Ashe and asked big odds, but
yelled Wahoo with warwhocps loud
and deep. Big odds were offered
against Armstrong; tricky entry,
Effie H., who has caused many a grey
hair in the heads of spo,ts the coun-
try over. The chestnut with the Rus
sian name was handled very gingeTly
by the crowd.
First Hedt.-The start was easily
made, Skobyloff taking the lead, the
favorite getting. of badly and Fannie
dropping to the rear after the first fur
long. At the hill they were all
punched again, Skobeloff 8 red jacket
showing gaily near the front when
they neared The turn. Wahoo pushed
him bard and the pair came down the
stretch neck and neck. When within
fifty steps of the string Eflis II. was
urged forward and made half dozen
splendid bounds, but failed to score,
Wahoo winning, Skobelof second and
Porter Ashe third.
Second Heat. Tho second heat was
repetition of the FIRST, the horses
running well together ali around the
course, making a close finish, with
Wahoo a scant winner, Skobeloff
second and Porter Ashe third.
THIRD RACE.
The third event was an uneventful
one for the insiders. Sis Himyar was
looked upon as a sure thing, with Tax

Little Minnie and Annie WoodCock
in the field. Nobody wsnted any
thing but the bay FLY with the East.

tie Minnie got good start, her riders
red jacket being plainly visible all
around the oourle, War Sign closing
in on her as they climbed the hill.
Coming around the turn they were all
strung out, with the favorite dis
hearteniDgly near the rear. Coming
down the quarter stretch Sis made 8
squirt which revived the hopes of her
hackers, but soon gave way, Annie
Woodcock winning hsndily by a
length, Little Minnie dashing in sec
ond and Hattie Carlisle good third
FOURTH RACE.
The field in the lest race, three
quarters of mile, was big one, and
the short horses, on which big odds
were offered, were freely taken by the
great majority who wanted to gel
even. The starters were Bixby, Slick
away, Paragon, Nina B, Faster, Ale
CLANCY, Tzurs, Steve Jerome and Katie
A. The latter was the favorite al
even money. 1t was hard to choose
between AlleghaDey and Faster fol-
second pace, and Paragon was backed
by the stable boys. TzuTa was the
tip but found few takers. The start
was the most unsatisfactory OF the
meeting, but most Of the gaps were
closed on the hill. As the flyers
turned into the homeatretch it Yves
plain tina. Katie A. would win, which
che did bandily by a coup of lengths
without whip or spun, Bixby securing
second place and Alleghsney third.
