marked decrease compared with the number

Then there were fully 5000 people at the
track, while 100 is liberal estimate of yes
terday's visitors. The track was in splendid
order, and could not have been improved

THE PROGRAMME.
It was not heavy or attractive list of
events that made UP the programme. Only
one of the cracks, Sunol, made an attempt to
lower her record, STEAMBOAT, Vida Wilkes
and the others not appearing. A couple of
two-in-three contests for records and
spe cial purse for four trotters. handicapped
to bring them together, completed the bill of
fare.
Sunol's go against the watch was the first
number on the programme, but as the wind
blew a little strong at o'clock the attempt
was deferred to later on, and a match, best
two in three, for record purposes, between
two three-year- Olds, Wildmont (Marvin) and
Millie Wilkes Goldsmith. was the first event
decided
A TIN-CUP RECORD.
As Widmont was TO be the beneficiary of
the business, she was naturally the winner
in straight heats. Time, 2:27A and 2:50.
Mile was not pushed, and Wildmont won
each time by half a dozen lengths easily.
BEAUMoNT'S EASY WIN.
A contest" between Vincenzo (Iarvin),
SMITH followed. Beaumont easily demon
strated his superiority by winning in one,
two, three order. Bulwer was distanced in
the first heat. and Vineen2o too k the second
place. The time was 2:25, 2:294 and 2:29A.
The PAGER Acrobat, with record of 2:24A,
driven by Dustin and accompanied by run
ner, next went against his record and sue
ceeded in reducing it to PISA in good style.
sUNoLs GAME EFFORT.
Sunol was then brought out 10 make her
trial against the mark Of 2:104, her fastest
time, made over the Bay District track just
about year ago. This notch she also
duplicated East this year. Marvin, of
course, drove her, and Dustin again steefed
the accompanying runner. The mare has
been clipped quite recently, and though
looking quite light in condition and
color appeared to be in good order. Mar
win nodded for the word on the third score.
and started her off at very fast clip on the
journey. She went to the eighth in 1874
and the quarter in 32E1s. Keeping up her
speed in guod shape. she reached the half in
:044-a 2:0SR gait. She made no falter
around the turn and kept on going like
cluck-wOTk, reaching the tbree-quarter in
1874: Marvin pushed her hard up the
stretch, and for some little distance after
leaving the three-quarter pole there was
every probability that she would knock
quite slice off her record, but she soon
commenced to tire badly, the fast previous
quarters having told severely on her.
URGED BY THE WHIP.
From ho savau prIa b1ma Morvin
slashed her severely with the whip, beating
steady tattoo ON her TANKS and back.
But whip and urge her as he could, SunOl
was all out and kept coming back and back.
She was too tired 10 break, and so took the
whip gainely enough. The last application
of the lash sent her under the wire in 2:11A,
an excellent performance under the cOndi-
tions.
Some horsemen thought that Marvin sent
her too fast to the half. and that had she
been rated there in about LOG she
would have equalel, if not beaten, her
record. This is as it may be- but Marvin
doubtless knew what he was doing when
he took her there faster. The mare did the
best she could, and the good time made
should satisfy the connoisseurs who like 10
see fast mile reeled off.
WANDA HUNG on WE'LL.
A special trotting race, the amount Of the
purse to be contested for not being mem
toned, concluded the programme. Wanda
to cart (Vi0get, Lee to cart dustin, EX-
press to sulky (Marvin) and Redw lod to
sulky Go ldSmith) were the starters. Though
Wanda is admittedly, outside of the cracks,
as fast as anything on the Coast to the half,
where she can get easily in 6, still, handi-
capped by the cart, NiogetS thirty pounds
overweight and suspicion that she would
not stay as well as the others, her chance OF
success was not considered at all rosy. Lee
was made first choice in the pools at $50
Fnr Eynra.S C12 for Pc
while 81 was all that Wanda's chances were
considered worth
SOME CHEAP POOLS.
A few inveterate long-shot buyers got her
at SO against 500 for the others. Specula-
tors on the race seemed to have forgotten
that Wanda has been ste Oily taking second
money all through the circuit to the best in
her class, and also that at Napa she had
gone, not officially, though. in 2:1712, urged
on by runner. They soon discovered that
she had the foot of the others, and that
nothing could collar her on the route.
Wanda easily took the first heat without be-
ing beaded IN 2:20A, Express second, Red
wood third and Lee, who broke on the back
stretch, coming home last. For the second
heat Lee was still fayorite at $50 against $50
for Wanda, S11 for Redwood and $40 for Ex-
press, it being supposed by those who
Wanda would throw up the sponge ana quit
Wanda at once took the lead, and
leading all the way won by a length from
Express, who came up on a run in the good
time of 2:19h. Redwood was third and
Lee last. There being but little doubt now
that Wanda could win she was made favor
lie for the third heat in the pools, bringing
sos 10 $40 for the three others as field.
Wanda won the heat and race in 9: 2OA,
Redwood taking second place, Lee third and
Express fourth.
To-DAY's EVENTS.
To-day the cracks will, it is announced,
make their final attempts to defeat time,
though it is probable that STEAMBOAT will be
the only one of the leaders to start. There
will also be a pacing race for special purse
of $500 between Ned WiDslow, Hummer,
Princess Alice and Gold Medal. The pool
rooms will close to-day at y o'clock and the
races commence at l o'clock.
