INDIAN PONY RACE.
Next followed the IDdian pony race.

sooner was the signal given for them
TO come on than the track was filled
With Indian rider, eleven in number.

of the riders were more than bows. and
all were ss solemn aud esruest M N
their lives depended on the outcome.
Being informed that they would be
started from the half mile pole, they
started off abreast aud at slow trot,
moving with the precision of a cav.
airy troop around the track till with
in few yards of the starting point,
when they halted, drew up into line.
and agaiD moved st slow pace to the
pole. At the drop Of the flag every

THE HURDLE RACE.
Then followed what was looked for
ward to by all ~ the event of the day
the hurdle rsce. Public Interest
had been worked up to - high pitch
on this race and We are glad To be
able to say thai the most ssnguipe an.
licipations were realized. Everybody
WAS delighted, and old turf habituts
declared II to be one of the most inter-
esling and picturesqu- races they had
ever witnessed. As the riders came
ON the track clad in regulation Eug.
lish riding costumes and showing
their distinctive colors IN rich siIk
Jackets and caps, the scene was Que
which captivated everyone. The
horsss. loo, were Of different clao
than those participating In the former
races; well groomed. sleek animals
with docked tails. equipped with the
diminutive racing saddle, they seemed
different kind of beast than thoss
usually seen In this country. Lindsay
had been the fav0rite In all pool selling
and betting prior to the race, and q
he made . preliminary canter down
the stretch. his easy seat and light
hand seemed to warrant the assump-
tion that he was q sure winner, though
a glance ut sgd. Psget - he rode past
the stand was calculated 10 make one
think twice before placing his m, ,ney
against The blue. Tattenal, too, looked
to be Q likely winner.
Some little time was consumed In
placing the hurdles, which were 10 bs
five In number. but through . misun-
derstAnding only four were put in po-
elton before the start. While walt.
ing ior the word the riders, LED By
Lindsay, took an experimental 70 at
the first hurdle, which was placed q
the beginning u the upper turn. All
but Langley, Robertson and 0rosvenoF
took the leap hahdsomely, and aftsr
two or three trials these did else.
Finally, every ything being In readi-
ness, the riders were called up by the
bell. and the work given. Unllks
