An Excellent Days sport at til
Track,

- - HANOlChb SROIt 90 thC
Track.
The first race at the track yesterday
was trot for the 2:35 class for $500.
The starters were Kennedy's Danger,
sired by Odd Fellow; M. E. Ryan's
Addie E., sired by Algonia First, and
Thos. Chrisman's Richmond, Jr., sired
by A. w. Richmond. The betting was
$50 on Richmond, to $27 on Addie, and
Sc on Danger. The favorite took the
first and second heats, with Danger second
in the first and Addie in the second.
Danger got the third heat with Addie in
the second. place, Richmond getting left
by breaking. The fourth heat was won
by Richmond by several lengths, Danger
second. The time of the four heats was,
first :2S1a, and all the others 2:26I.
The race was pretty one all through,
Richmond choosing to stay behind in
each heat, until the half was nearly
reached, then gathering on the others
and coming down the stretch at pace
that neither of the others could keep out
of the way of.
Between the first and second heats of
this race, special private match be-
tween A. ]. Graham's Lady Graham,
sire Shilo, and w. Bowers Dick g., sire
Hardwood, was run. 1t was half mile
dash, for $3.50 side. The betting was
500 on the Lady to $13 on Dick. They
came together almost the whole distance,
the mare winning by nose in .49A.
Then followed very nice race, the
Ifive-eighths of mile dash for two year
olds. There were five entries: Hill's
Steve Stroud, sire Billy Lee, dam Pre-
tender; Kelly & Samueis' Pliny, sire
Flood, dam Precious; L. j. Felton's King
David, sire Kyrle DAILY, dam Trophy
Henry E. Roses Rosemead, sire Wild
Idle, dam Duchess N. A. Covarrubias'
Gambo, sire Wild Idle, dam Dottie Dim
pie. The betting went 500 on PliDy to S. on
Stroud, and 50 on the field. 1t was an
exciting race, the favorite winning by q
neck FROM little Gambo, Rosemead a fair
third, easily ahead of David. Stroud
behaved much in the same way as on
Monday, aud was the last in the race
from post to finish; time, :O2M.
The last race was the gamble Of the
day. 1t was race between three horses
of blue blood pedigree. They were Kelly
& Samuels' Ed. McGinnis, sire Grim
stead, dam Jennie S.; Hills
Mikado, sire Shilo, dam Marguerite !;
and Dunn's Four Aces, sire Hook Hook
ing, dam Maid of the Mist. The race
was mile and a half dash, $50 entrance,
$3.50 added. While on Wednesday night
in the city the betting was $40 each on
McGinnis and Mikado and $40 on the
field, with Wild Oats and Four Aces in
it; the betting on the track was 5000 on
Mikado, $67 on Aces and $36 on Nc
Ginnis, Oats being scratched. This was
about an average pool, some selling at
much bigger odds on Mikado. The
talent plunged heavily on the favorite,
and big money went into the pools. 1t
was a great race from start to finish.
Aces quit just about three-quar-
ters through the race, and left
the contest between the other two,
1t was nip and tuck around the track
between the two. The boys Cook and
Hitchcock rode the horses for all there
was in them. The race was for either of
them to within few rods of the line.
The Mikado won by short length time,
2 80.
There are several spirited contests on
the programme for today. The ladies
will ride for the prizes, and there will be
polo game of much interest. Press of
advertising patronage prevents the HER
AID devoting as much space as it desires
to the races. The stock premiums and
a sale of fine stock which took place yes.
terday will be reported later on.
