These are the only two races for the
day, but us the field is such large one
it is thought that nearly all OF the after
noon will be consumed in disposing OF
them.
During the racing Pierce & Burnham's
combination will give another exhibi-
ton with their running horses. To-day
it will hr Roman standing race with
double teanS. There are none who
stayed late enough yesterday afternoon
to see the ran between double teams to
skeleton wagons, driven by ladies, but
what will want to see the exhibition to
be given by the combination every day
OF the iIir. To-day an effort will be
made TO have the Roman race take place
earlier in the day. The horses are fleet
footed and handsome and they 60 more
like the wind than anything. else. 1t is
exciting to watch them MS they are fear
lessly guided around the track by the
Merry lady drivers, who in their bright
colored habits give color to the scene
that adds to the enjoyment OF the spec
tacle.
This morning the judges in the various
live stock departments will continue
their work OF awarding, and they are
sure to be surrounded by interested
groups while they perform their work.
There is never better opportunity af-
forded for seeing the stock than when II
is shown in the exhibiting pens and
rings.
Those attending the races will find
one OF the race programmes great as
sistance to them in ascertaining which
horse lis. which. The programmes this
year are gotten out by Dan L. Prayer,
and are convenient and reliable. He has
provided handsome silk caps for the
drivers and riders, and the colors of the
caps correspond with those marked on
the card opposite the horses name.
