The Second Days Races.
All Of the hacks, buses and express wag-
ons, as well as the street cars were called
into requisition yesterday to transport the
many visitors and citizens who wished to see
the races, to the driving park. The fast time
of the preceding day convinced all that the
horses entered for the various stakes and
purses were among the best in the country,
and everyone who relished an exciting con-
test of speed had prepared to be on hand.
The track was at least five seconds faster
than on Tuesday, and the horses were seen
at their best. Betting was very lively and
the interest that was manifested when the
pools were opened on the preceding evening
was even more decided as the time for the
races drew near. The judges gave notice of
their determination to allow no foolishness,
and threatened heavy fines upon any
jockeys who should indulge in
any funny work at the score.
RACE NO. |.
The first race of the day was a five-eighth
mile and repeat, for all ages.
There we're seven entries and all started,
placed as follows:
Tom Berlin l13, blue and pink, Seaman.
Trouble 1l6, red, Deneffc.
Chancellor 101, white jacket, red stars,
luN NtB' . - 'N'' N'S>
jacket, black hoops, black sash and cap,
Clark. Myrtle 10S, orange and blue, Riley.
Beppo 49,, brown jacket red and white cap,
Drane. Joliet 10, blue, Halleck.
After several false starts the horses were
sent off, with Tartar slightly in the lead.
Tartar showed the way to the town, where
the pace was crowded a little and Tom Der
lin forged ahead closely followed by Beppo
and Chancellor. The run home was not
especially interesting. Beppo fell back to
third place, Berlin coming under the wire
first and Chancellor second. The others
were unplaced. The time was ! ;03l4.
When the bell tapped riders up
for the second heat, the effects of the
new order requiring prompt obedience was
noticeable, and the horses were quickly at
the post.
The drum tapped on the third trial and
away they went. 1t was a very poor start,
Berlin. Chancellor and Beppo, the three that
secured places in the previous heat, getting
fully a lengths advantage, Trouble next and
the others away in the rear. Carlisle and
Seaman battled for first place, but the others
were contcnted to trail without an effort to
recover lost ground. The position at the
finish was the same as IN the other heat.

Time :O3A, 1:02l4.
Inc ldSU neal was IL lively one, tne HrSU
| quarter being made in 0:2412. Chancellor
ran well for first place, and it was thought
by many that he would have made it if he
had been sent for all he was worth. Berlin
ran from the instant the drum tapped, and
Chancellor proved himself to be what many
claim him, a phenomenal colt, to hold an old
stager so level.
RACE NO. 9.
This race was u mile and n sixteenth for
| all ages, and it was a lively run. OF the thir-
tapn that pntprpl there ware EIGHT starters
as follows: Belle X III, red, Thorp. Derby
1872, green jacket, red and white cap, Mckin-
ney. Fillmore 1902, black jacket, green
sleeves and cap, Pratt. Prairie Queen III,
Jacket, black hoops, black sash and cap,
Clark. Only Dare 1?2, blue and pink, Sea
man. Forest King 115, wine jacket, blue
and white cap. Jessie j III, blue and orange,
Miller.
Jessie j was the ~favorite, and sold very
high at the pools.
When called to the score much time was
spent in jockeying and the starter had his
hands full. A splendid send off was finally
secured and they came down past the stand
well punched, with Fillmore, Artist, Only
Dare and Jessie j slightly in the lead. For
rest King soon took the lead, and set the
pace up the back stretch SO fast that the line
was soon very lengthy.
The race was entirely between Jessie j.,
Derby and Forrest King, and they came
under the wire in the order named in ! :554.
Inc Jockeys realized that whipping was use
less, and but little of il was seen. The horses
that had Just came up from the south had
every advantage, beng in good condition,
whereas the northern horses were in nc
shape for fast running, many of them not
having had even a fast gallop until coming
here. The track was still heavy, although
much better than on Tuesday.
RACE NO. 3.
The last race was a half mile dash fol
bronchos, and of the four ponies entered
three started. They were Bronch b., BrOn
cho Prince and Fidget. Broncho b. was re
garded as a sure winner, but came in second
Fidget third. Time, :55. Broncho b. is
simply a small thoroughbred ana has nj
business in a broncho race, but he founC
something to keep him busy, although he
showed enough bottom TO carry him 10 the
front in n mile race.
The attendance was very good, and severa
ladies were seen in the amphitheater
Dalby's military discoursed some of it
choicest music, and the spectators evinceC
considerable enthusiasm. The day wa
rather too cool for comfort, still it was
great Improvement over the first day il
every respect. The track grows better witt
usage, and fast time ought to be made to
day.
