THE RACES.
Yesterdays crowds at the races
were not betting crowds and the raw
wind and the threatening sky was not
| Inc 10 rhara
but three events on the cards, one
trotting, one running and one pacing
| The time made to harness was slow
of the interest they would otherwise
have elected.
The first was half mile running
dash run i'm the very good time of
81 ga conclusively showing that it
was no thoroughly fixed race as
some of the wise-acres assert. The
race was really between Silence and
Hardie, the other eight who came to
the starting post not being in it. The
start was a very tedious one to make,
the horses being young and nearly
three quarters of an hour was passed
before the flag fell 1t was hot race
after the bunch was left behind be-
tween Hardie and Silence and was
won after whipping race all down
the home stretch, by Silence, with a
good neck to spare.
The trotting race was not very in
eresting, time was slow, 36 IA being
the fastest, but it was an honest race
and the San Antonio winner did not
propose to play into the hands of the
betting ring. 1t was a straight away
race run in three successive heats by
Prince, owned by Joe Dwyer, of this
city.
The pacing race was the last run on
account of the darkness. There were
five entries and four heats, all after
the first being takon by Cricket, of
Dallas, Lady Pendleton, of McKeuny,
taking the first heat in the quickest
time of the race, 2 20 IL.
The events for today are more num-
erous and as the free for all pace and
the free for all trot are both included
there should be some marking down
in the vicinity of the 200.
The parade took place at 1890
O'Clock, the firemen assem- bling with
all their apparatus, on Alamo plaza.
There they were reviewed by the
chief of the department., and headed
ny tle MUSICAL CElOn baIlu III uni
form, marched to Commerce street
and through that street to the Rapid
Transit railway on Quinta street
where the men boarded the cars for
the fair grounds and the apparatus
was sent back
The mayor was in the procession, in
a hack drawn by four white horses.
Every engine and hose wagon was
in the parade.
The turnout of the men was not as
general as it would have been could
all the firemen have spared the time
from business.
