The Races.

Attendance largest, track IN better con.
dition than any day yet, weather perfect
with the exception that the fresh breeze
became a trif1e too demonstrative at times.
AS a cup day it was a great success. The
colors of the weight for age entries APP
pcared in lieu of boutonnaires in many
instances and the great race was almost
the sole topic of conversation in many
quarters. TIE winning of the magniti
cent trophy by Trouble was a complete
surprise even to the shrewd individuals
who carried his name about on pool cards
purchased at ridiculously low figures.
Everyone expected that wonderful Little
Joe to win the free for all trot. and
Ocheco Bill, the veteran quarter horse.
was the f~avorite in the quarter dash at
every stage. The unfinished half mile
heat running race is as much Of a guess as
ever. Emma, the winner in the first
battle, was a short" horse in the pools.
FOL TEE CUP.
The crowd was impatient for the ap.
pearance of the heroes of the day, the cup
candidates. aud even called for the ami
mails, seemingly caring nothing for trots
or dashes. 1t was to be such a race as
seldom falls to the lot OF a Wyomingite to
see. Three times around a half mile
track without distractions to hide the
flyers from the view of the spectators for
even an instant is a race and a contest for
a richly engraved, lavishly ornamented
and artistically embossed cup of solid sill
yer is bound to be a race. 1t might also
be added that in a crucial test o. speed,
endurance and horsemanship which may
result in making certain sires famous as
getters Of running colts, no ownlr, unless
mad or of far sighted mercenary proclivi-
ties. is liable to instruct a Jockey to ride a
losing race.
Until the very instant in which the
word go was given money could not be
placed on the race fast enough. The
pool seller became hoarse. The cashier
made change mechanically and the fingers
of the card writer's became cramped. The
click, click, of the Paris mutual appliance
was regular as the ticking of a watch and
side bets were made all vver the grounds,
There wasn't a five cent piece less than
IS, 600 on the race when the word was
given.
The preliminaries were tedious to the
average onlooker but of paramount inter-
est to those Immediately connected with
the stables from which the entries we're
sent. Each Jockey was carefully weighed
in, as it was weight for age aud a pound
was a great point in a mile and a half.
Before being sent upon the track each an
imal was given a final rub down and per-
haps a stimulant. After they were out
owners and riders held short consulta.
tions while the starter tapped the triangle
and caused the pool sellers to shout even
more rapidly.
Deronda the club cup winner, was the
first to canter past the stand. A profes
sional jockey, in the Goodell colors of
cream and cardinal was 'astride the we'll
muscled, long rea ching, strong lImbed
favorite and was enthusiastically APP
plauded. The graceful and speedy Spider
had many friends who thought him
handsomer than his magenta and black
colors. Trim built Trouble, twice defeated,
but undaunted, had Geo. Vanderpool, in
canary and CT cry aboard and was lively,
but well in hand. Viscount, he of royal
name and lineage, was on his metal. He
was untried, but those slim legs, perfect
barrel, heavy hips and wide chest had
made him second choice in the pools and
the pride of his owner, Mr.. Iselin. His
colors were canary and black. They called
Endebar a skate on the quarter stretch,
but the big gray showed more spirit than
any Of the others when he was sent out
with Murdoch in the Stokes colors OF
white and salmon. He exhibited too
much spirit. A demon seemed to have
taken possession of the usually docile ami
NAL. Perhaps the blood of his thorough
bred sire. Huerfano, was at war with the
cold fund of his Western dam. At any
rate he was contrary to viciousness. EIe
reared, plunged, kicked out behind, struck
out in front, disputed mastery with his
rider, and finally, by a trick of the bron-
cho, unseated Murdoch. The boy was
soon up again, but it was no use, Endeba-
was not to be subdued. He knew his
strength and recognized bis advantage. In
