THE RACES.

Though o'clock was the hour set for
calling the first race on yesterdays card,
it was nearer three o'clock when Starter
Sherwood sent away the Bexar county
trotter. From the first it was evident
that Billy Woods had a walk over and
the race would be between Jack u. and
Indedendence for place; Reno's Baby
captured first money in the second race,
with Reno G.second, to the surprise of the
fancy and justification of the people,
Reno &. was allowed to win the Bird heat
Ell Guarasch was distanced and out in the
first heat. After nearly an hour spent in
trying to get the field away in the third
race the t6 WINNIE asy Dagg Gi'
in the lead. She was never headed,
the pace was terrific for the
first quarter, with the field well punched.
In the stretch Saffington pulled to second
with Germania third, finishing in that
order. Time, 1:03H.
exciting of the day. There were only
four starters we'll punched to the stretch.
AlphOnse won, with ASkey second, Ores
cent Belle third. Time, 1:32.
The LIGHT tips were all winners. Ow-
ing to the innumerable delays usual to
first DAYS il was impossible to call the
fifth race without running in the dark.
Hence it was postponed and will be first
on to-day's card. The book makers had
rather cold day of it, owing to the slim
attendance. One French mutual was in
operation as annex to the book makers
and ticket No. 395 paid 50.
