THE RACES.
Another Successful Day at Agri-
cmltur ral Park.

Am0tneT SuCceSShuh Sdy AT
cultural Park.
Yesterday being Derby Day, a large
and fashionable company were present
at Agricultural Park, and were well
rewarded for their attendance by wit
Messing fine days sport. The talent
had it all their own way, as the fav-
orite won in each instance, though
some of the heaviest and shrewdest
spectators patronized the short end.
Ed McGinnis won the Derby in a
walk, but had his only opponent,
Typesetter, not broken down, it is
more than probable that the result
would have been different. McGinnis
was a strong favorile in the pools, but
Typesetter had host OF admirers,
and excitement ran high when these
two good looking colts took their pre-
liminary canter preparatory to going
to the post. At the first attempt they
got away together, and Gabey at once
sent his mount to the front, setting q
strong pace. Passing the stand for
the first time McGlnnis led by "a
length, and this was Increased
to three at the quarter post,
Typesetter going easy under a
strong pull At the half mile Type
setter was pulling his jockey out of
the saddle but unfortunately for his
owners and hackers broke down and
McGinnis going on at his leisure won
pulling up by 20 lengths. The sec
ond race three-quarters and repeat
was gift for that fast Sprinter, Con-
su.lo, old GIsnell proving no match
for him although the latter won the
first heat on suff'rance. Alter an even
start Glenell made the running with
Consuelo at his 6 rths and so they
ran to the finish Glenell running all
out By half length. The second
time OF asking Glenell got away in
front and at the half mile led by a
length Entering the stretch { on
suelo drew up and despite the gallant
efforts OF his opponent won hands
down by four lengths. The next heat
was but repetition of the last, Con-
suelo making all the running and
winning hands down by four lengths.
The trotting race was an exercise trot
for Shamrock after the second heat,
his most dangerous opponent Geron-
nio going lame after hreasting the wire
first. There is god programme set
for decision to-day and many will no
doubt avail themselves OF the las
opportunity open to them OF seeing
Ben Clark and G. NJ. Anderson the
famous long g-dlstance riders conpete
with Peppers the new aspirant Tor
championship honors.
