YESTERDAYS RACES.
A Big Crowd at the Track De-
spite the Weather.

ward noon it began to cloud up ano
a light rain set in. Notwlthstand
ing the weather there was a good
crowd al the track and the grand
stand was j4mmed. During the
heals the Carson Band rendered
some excellent music.
/ As usual with the first days rae
! ing, the horses did not appear on
/ the track until nearly 2 O'Clock,
/ though the races were billed to
come off at l. Bill Chamberlin
OF the Riverside HOTEL Reno, finally
consented to act as Judge OF the
course. He missed the train and
had to reach Carson in a buggy,
making the trip in 3 hours and 80
minutes.
THE FIvE-EIGHTs DASH.
The first race on the programme
was the five-eights dash between
Lookout, Dewdrop and Condor.
Lookout sold favorite and pools
were selling two to one. 1t took
some time to get the runners started
as Condor was crankey about COM
ing to the scratch They got away
about o'lock however, with Look
out in the lead and Condor in the
rear, as they came into the home
stretch Condor closed up the breech
and surged ahead and the three
came under the wire with Condor
only neck ahead of the last horse
winning the race in LIZ.
THE TRoTTING RACE.
Another DRILLING rain set in
short time before the race,
which gave the track a good wet
ting, but did not make it muddy.
The race was between Julian
Snowslide, Gibber and Ordway.
After two attempts they finally
started at the tap of the gong, with
Snowslide in the lead. Gibber got
ahead on the back stretch, but as
they rounded the turn Snowslide
took the lead which he held down
the home stretch, coming in under
the wine in 81 IA, which is bet
ter than the time made at Reno,
Gibber second.
Theo. Winters says the Carson
track is at least four seconds faster
than the Reno track. During the
twenty tive minutes between heats
little excitement was caused by a
drunken boy having a fit. In try
ing to unhItch his horse he fell
with his neck over the lines, which
were tied to the fence, and had he
not been discovered on time would
probably have been strangled. He
came to quite sober.
When they started for the next
heat Snowslide took the lead, but
broke OH the turn and Gibber went
ahead. Snowslide crept up on the
back stretch out broke again and
Gibber maintained the lead to the
finish, making the heat in Psi
though he slowed up when near the
wire because he didn't want to
distance anybody, Julian second.
Snowsiide broke badly when
near the Judges stand. which made
Buster, his driver, pretty hot, and
he gave the horse a vicious cut with
the whip. He was fined So by Cham
berlain, over which he kicked a
good deal, but it was paid all the
same.
In the third. heat Julian took the
lead but broke at the turn, and
Gibber came along side. Julian
soon got back TO his pace and re-
covered the lead, hut Gihber over
hauled him and forged ahead, which
position he kept to the finish, Civ
ing him two heats and Snowslde
one.
The race was then postponed on
account OF the weather, as was also
the one-fourth of mile dash.
