FRIDAYS RACES.
The racing this afternoon was as in q
5eresting as usual. The attendance 4
was almost equal to that OF yesterday,
and the interest taken in the flyers no c
less. The character of the racing was {
fully up to the standard of yesterday, {
if not better even. The for-alI was es-
pecially interesting, even exciting. II
The judges, Messrs. Tom Atchison /
r. 81. Burns and Ed Jewett. held the /
boys level and did their duty as the
colored brother fought. nobly. The l.
day was beauty. the best of the week.
The air was still and free from dust.
The first race of the day was pac
ing one of seven entries and $50 purse.
The starters were Kate Binder, Wood
lie, Ever Way, Maggie Almont, Alice |
Russell, q. Frank and Black Hawk.
They were entered in the 2:S0 class.
After scoring q couple of times, the |
PAGERS got OFF in good shape. Allie |
Russell took the lead and held it to the |
end, coming under the string in 2:229, |
the fastest time made on the track dur
ing these races. Maggie Almont came
in second about a length behind Allie.

Immediately after the horses got of,
and before getting 100 yards from the
stand, Faro ran into Telephone and
took of a wheel. Telephones driver
held his seat and stopped his horse in

q very pretty race. Eva took the lead
{
in to the stand in 2:26a. Jimmie C.
was second, Faro third and Telephone
fourth.
PACING SECOND HEAT.
This was very pretty heat and hot
ly contested. Maggie Almont hel dthe
lead from the quarter pole to the stand
coming in couple of lengths ahead of
N. Frank. Ever Way made a bad
break near the quarter pole, but soon
got down to work and made remarka-
bic time for four year old. She over
took those far in advance, and was on
~ about three or four lengths behind
Maggie Almont at the stand. The time
of this heat was 2:26.
PACING, SECOND HEAT.
This heat ended precisely as the first
one, with this exception, Telephone
was shut out. Eva was only a neck
ahead of Jimmie c., with Faro only q
/ length behind. 1t was an exciting
; race, and ended amid wild chorus. Of
shouts from the grand stand.
s Fridays racing was fully as inter
3 esting as any of the week, and was al
well patronized. The attendace was
almost if not quite up TO that of Thurs
day. The number of entries in eacl
) class was sufficiently large to keep VI
the interest, and at times it rose to tn,
pitch of excitement.
A noticeable feature of the racin,
: during the week was the smoothnes
J, and harmony with which everything
+ passed off. The kicking always pres
e ent on such occasions was reduced t,
e the minimum, and no accidents of an,
}. consequence marred the pleasure AMI
:. orderly character of the affair.
For the success and good manage
d ment of it all, credit is mainly due Il
i w. A. Suoddy, who engineered it..
