ally fine sport at Churchill Downs today.
The clouds were lacking for the first time,
and the weather was bright and beautiful.
An Immense crowd was in consequence in
attendance, and the field being free TO the
public, presented an exceptionally ami
mated appearance. The track was stiff
and slow. By Monday, II the weather
continues good, 1t will be in good shape
again. Only one favorite succeeded in
reaching the wire first, being Gallifet, who
won the leading event Of the day, the
Clark stakes, one mile and a quarter, in
great style, easily defeating good
field. The winners in the other races
were, with the exception Of Glen
hall in the first race, who was
second choice, very short ones,
the bookies making pretty much clean
sweep. Swift would have probably won
the first race-the McCampbell handicap
had il not been for his stumbling Just
before the start, turning complete somer-
sault and wounding his rider, Turner.
Freeman was suspended for his peculiar
riding Of Laurel in next 10 the last race,
and II seemed strange that bets were not
declared of. The finish, between Bonnie
King and Full Sail in the last race, was
the prettiest Of the meeting, the light
weight winning by nose, aud the clever
riding Of belong. -Four more days OF
what promises to be excellent racing are

fillies, in which the crack Proctor Knott,
the winner Of the Alexander stakes, will
