SECOND RACE.
The second race, Brewers stake. three
1ourths OF mile and repeat, proved
surprise 10 the sports who usually plunge
heavily on the favorite. The horses that
stripped for the race were w. L. Appleby's
White Cloud, a. D. Harrison's Hello, j.
McBrides Long Shot, and Matt Storms
Kildare. White Cloud was picked for an
easy winner, and the talent made him the
favorite al $25 against $40 for the field.
After several attempts the horses got
away to fair start, White Cloud soon
showing 10 the front, followed closely bv
Hello, the other two taking up the trail a
length to the rear, which positions were
held down the back-stretch. The horses
swinging into the home-stretch in about
the same order, except that Hello had
crept up to White Clouds flank. There
was rafting contest down the stretch,
and at the drawgate Hello was nearly on
even terms with the favorite. the others
having lost length. Nearing the wire
Hello crept up steadily, an inch at each
jump, and as the horses passed under the
string, 1t was thought by many 10 be dead
heat, but Hello had the best of it by
nose. and won in 1:144.
The field men were now in high glee, and
the pools changed to $25 for the field and
$40 for White Cloud.
Second heat-Hello leaped to the front as
soon as the flag fell for the start in the next
hess<with White Cloud tapping him. They
weIS Gown the stretch in the same posi-
tons, Long Shot and Kildare bringing up
the rear like double team. Rounding the
turn Hello held his advantage. the whilom
tavorite hanging to his side. As they came
into the home-stretch Long Shot parted
company with Kildare and moved up.
When within two hundred yards of the
outcome he collared White Cloud, passed
him in the next hundred yards, and then
came brief bnt hot struggle between him
and Hello for the heat. As thew neared the
wire Long Shot made a shoot to the front.
and showed neck and shoulders in favor
of Hello as they went under the string in
1:18, White Cloud length behind Hello.
Kildare couple of length behind him.
Here, row, was queer state of affairs.
The favorite had been beaten in two heats,
and two field horses had got them. The
problem now was TO guess the winner as
between these two, White Cloud and Kill
dare both going TO the stable. The pools
started at S25 for Hello to $40 to sis for
Long Shot but before the horses went to
the post they were selling on even terms
Third heat-Long Shot took the lead by
halt length, but before the horses had
traversed half the distance to the turn they
were on even terms, and ran like a span in
harness al the way 10 the wire. Long Shot
making squirt at the latter end of the heat
and landing under the wire the winner by
half a length in 1:l9.

colts, several Of which were decidedly rank
and fractions, and acted as If they needed q
little more breaking before being brought

spectators to become both chilled an

lead. Songstress next, and Wild Oats third.

own. but that Flood Tide was making play
for the heat. Ashes colt was not able

Hooker, and the latter won readily by a
length in 1:5s4 Flood Tide second, Wild
