messed good attendance at Agricultural
Park. The weather was quite cool, and
the heavy clouds that moved across the sky
had very threatening aspect. The rain
kept off, however, until late in the day,
when there was light sprinkle. The
events on the programme were a ladies'
riding tournament, race for trotters and
PAGERS, and pacing race for the 2:30 class.
The judges for the day were ]. w. Wilson,
Chris. Green and ]. L. McCord. The First
Artillery Band discoursed pleasant music,
which, with the races, was enjoyed by the
many ladies and gentlemen present.
LADIES TOURNAMENT.
The first feature of the days programme
was the ladies' tournament. For this
event the Capital Soap Company offered
500 in prizes. There were five entries.
and the ladies all acquitted themselves
with the greatest credit in handling their
horses. Indeed, there was not one of the
contestants but who was an excellent
horsewoman, and the judges must have
found considerable difficulty in coming to
decision upon the comparative merits of
the fair equestriennes. The prizes were
awarded as follows: First. Mrs. NJ. Paquin,
$40; second, Miss Laura Cooper, $25; third
Mrs. ]. M. Collier, SIS; fourth, Mrs. E.
Crenshaw, So fifth, Miss Edith Bradley,
$40.

before they could be got off, Madura in
variably breaking on coming to the score.
They were finally sent off at 2:45, P. K.
having the pole; Madura next, and lump
Winston on the outside. The latter had a
little the best of the send-off. Madura
broke soon after leaving the score and
dropped back, and on entering the turn
lump Winston also went up and bobbled
all the way around to the backstretch,
where he settled down to his work. At
the quarter pole P. K. led by two lengths,
Madura five lengths behind Winston. At
the half Winston had decreased the dis
lance between himself and the leader by a
length, and Madura also began to crawl

tons were held into the homestretch. Here
P. K. went up and Winston took the lead,
while Madura increased his pace and took
second place. Winston led one length I'M
