Good Swimmers.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May ls-The fifth day
OF the Louisville spring meeting was an
other dismal rainy one. The weather was
threatening all morning, the drops falling
gently at intervals. Notwithstanding this
there was n large crowd in attendance.
Shortly after the first race a drenching
shower came up, driving the reporters out
OF their stand and those on the lawn and
in the paddock back into the grand stand
betting booths, which were jammed. The
rain continued, and the remaining events
were run of on track which more resem-
bled the bed OF creek than race course.
Some bigdumps might have been expected
under these circumstances, but the book
makers were better posted than any day
vet. and three OF the favorites were win
ners. Orderly, Terra Gotta and Wheeler
Il. The surprises, which were not great,
however, we're Spectator In the fourth and
Ltbert In the last race. Terra Gotta had
no trouble in winning the event OF
the day-the Elmendori handicapped APP
pcaring 10 mind the rain and mud, Nc
Campbell's Hypasia and Nick Finer run
ming second and third. The program was
an excellent one, and the racing exciting
In spite OF the disagrceabe weather. The
time was good under the circumstances.
