Murphy, and Manhattan.

Iu6T6 was u SOOu CTOWu OuI, IhOuSh hO1 GU !
large as on the preceding days Of the meeting. |
The number OF ladies on the grand stand was
not as large as on previous days but fair
"Congressional counting was present. Some
fine turn-cuts occupied the inner field. Betting |
was brisk and lively, and the events were in
doubt in almost every instance until the last.
The races were those scheduled for Friday, |
wet weather having caused their postponement |
The weather was clear and cool and the track |
in safe condition, but too heavy to be fast
The time made by the horses, however, is con- |
sdered excellent, all things taken into account |
First race--Purse, $500, divided for two-year-
olds; winners in this meeting to carry five
pounds extra; five furlongs. Capt. Wagener
was the favolite, with the betting 3 to l and 8
to ! against Coriolauus and Best Boy. Corio-
lanus got much the best of the start,with Capt. |
Wagener well in the rear Coriolanus and
Cerise colt led until into the stretch, by which
time Capt. Wagener had run out of the track,
and then captured first place, and won by six
lengths, Coriolanus second, Cerisa colt third.
Sarah Hall, Sequence colt, Hellenes, ana Best
Bow also ran. Time, los. Mutuels paid $3.50.
Second race-Purse $500, divided, for three
year-olds; one mile. Pail Mall and Little Ella
seemed to betters to be the only ones in the sec
ond race for one mile, the former being thought
in better condition and having slightly the ad-
vantage in the betting at even money to Z to
for Little Ella. Pail Mall made the pace and
led until the half, when Little Ella momentarily
rot the lead, Roach on Pail Mall watching her
going The result satisfied him, for he kept
Pail Mall at her side until hundred yards from

by a scant length Little Ella second, lnfatua-
tion third. Sphist and Bias also ran. Time,
1.4Sa. Mutuels paid $43o
Third race-Six furlongs dash; purse $780,
divided There was a good field of pretty
evenly matched starters, though betters looked
upon Nina W. or Vivid as pretty sure to win,
the odds being Z to on them, with Fountain
and San Jose trailing along at to each. San
Jose got decidedly the better of the poor start,
the favorites being down in the ruck. San
Jose was never headed, and won by length,
with Nina W. second, and Vivid third.

tabout also ran Time, 1:1S{. Mutuels paid

Iceberg and Pelham we'll up in the estimation
of horsemen, and My Own the outsider. Car
rie G. made the running at the start, and had
length lead until the half, when Pelham went
forward, running like an easy winner. They
came into the stretch in this order: Pelham
two lengths ahead Of Carrie g., Tapped by Ice
berg Iceberg then showed a burst of his old
time speed, and won fine race by three
quarters of length, Carrie u. second Pelham
