UPON THE RACE TRACK.
The excitement upon the race track yester-
day afternoon over the unfinished half mile
running race, heats, best two in three, was in:
tense, and the rice itself goes down In TURF
annals as an unparalleled one. The three
heats run the day before had resulted in a
heat for Run After EN-. and two dead heats In
which all participated. The fourth heat,
called at 2:15 p. m. yesterday, found the pool
sellers anxious, the crowd uneasy, the Judges
wary and general air Of uncertainty pervad-
ing every thing.
When the horses got the send-off with Kitty
Pease well in the lead the air was blue with
expletives from the friends of Mabel, the
hoox nf IN
fident expectation that is their favorite
had the heels to get there when called upon.
This expectation proved abortive and KITTY
was logged under the wire winner In the
very creditable time of 5:Oh
The fifth heat resulted in singing race be-
tween all three horses. which came down the
Just under the wire when Mabel, with rush,
pushed her nose in front and won the race
by head, Run After EN- last,
and all close enough to De coy SMc
heats, each horse credited with one, and two
dead heats. Who would win? Money changed
hands rapidly and over $4,000 altogether was
placed on the race.
The sixth heat was surprise to the hackers
of Kitty and Mabel and was won handily by
Run after EN- in 5:1h. There was only one
second difference in the time made in the SIX
heats of this race, the variations being from
5:0Is to 5:1%. No announcement was made or
the winner of the race nor of the time at the
conclusion of the race, nor for some time
j
complications that arise decided all bets of
and so solved the question by cutting the
GOrdian knot.
The second race unfinished from Thursday
was novelty running race lI2 mile dash.
This was won by Leman Bankrupt taking the
mile and billiard the half.
The third race was a 225 trOt, mile heats,
best 3 in 5, for a purse of $500. The entries
were Illinois, Egbert, Billy Mack and VIM. H.
Only three heats were made, and the approach
of darkness postponed the race to this after
noon. Billy Mack won the first heat in 2:32,
VIM H the second in 2:32& and Egbert the
third, in 2:3514. Honors thus being equally d.
vided, the event will doubtless be watched
with more interest today than yesterday.
During these races BET, with running
mate. was called out to make an attempt to
beat her previous record 2:052I. She made
three trials, the last without slip or break
in the very good time of 2:llLl. Attempts
will be made TO lower this time during the
progress of the fair. A gentleman of this city
has made a private offer of Il magnificent pail
of blankets to the owr r of the wOnd arful
PAGER, ii he makes ICTing the race week
TO come. A beat lal umbrella was
presented Mr.. Ii the close OF tho
last heat arc lLunCcrs of applause
from the SD - a..
