Two Out of Five SlashiDg Races Won by
short-enders.
Yesterdays attendance at the Park was
the largest of the week. The stands were
literally packed with people, and so dense
was the crowd beneath that it was with
difficulty one could get through. A gentle
breeze sprang up in the afternoon, making
quite comfortable what would otherwise
have been very warm day. The musical
honors of fthe day were divided between
the Liberati and First Artillery Bands, the
latter playing in the special stand. The
feature of this portion of the days attrac-
tions was cornet solo by Signor Liberati
Both bands were heartily cheered.
The judges of the day were Directors
Green, La Rue and Cox.

The first event of the afternoon was the
California Running Stake, for two-year-
olds, one mile. The starters were Conrad,

ing two open lengths in the rear. On the
far turn Lodowic closed on Conrad, and

was whipping race between them. Con-
rad won by short head, Nero thirty yards
in the rear. Time, l:434 1t was quite evil
dent that Lodowic was badly ridden

would have won but for that fact.
