THE RACES.
| Thursdays races were fitting close to
| big day. They were of fair interest
aud though not particularly exciting were
4 good fair contests, and the immense
crowd was pleased. People began to
flock into the grand stand at noon. and
by O'Clock tue crowd was tremendous.
II is estimated that at least II, COO pso-
pie saw the races. Every seat in the grand
staud, inc uding the steps, was packed
with people. On the lower part they
were standing, packed closely together,
like sardinea in o box. Over 4, 900 were
in the grand stand. The open stand
was also packed, and fortunate was the
man who had an umbrella, or woman
psrasol; at least 1000 people were in this
staud. The directors pavilion was also
packed full, and including those standing
by the fenoe along the stretch, II is esti-
mated that there were between 6,OOO and
1000 in the grand stand enclosure. The
carriages backed at tine south OF the
grand stand were full of people and they
lined the outside fences of the track four
or five deep, half way around the track.
People swarmed over tine field by hun
dreds, and in the vicinity of the judges
stand, there were at least 1900.
AMUSING TIE CROWD.
The crowd was good natured and Or
derby and in humor to be easily pleased.
Hyatt's baud played "Annie Rooney"
aud "Annie Laurie" and other old tunes
aud few new ones, and when the crowd
had nothing else to do, it Applauded the
band. Madam Marantette's perform
ces evoked much interest and applause
and tine multitude found ths trained dogs
especially pleasing. File Maker, the
champion jumping horse, gave an exhibit
tion OF high jumping in the field after
the races, which attracted portion of
the crowd. He has record of fest 10
inches aud did not break 1t Thursday.
George Leslie, the tight rope performer,
did what he could to nmuse the people
aud his difficult feats ware duly admired.
'rha lacrosse teams OF the A. o. s. N. of
Philadelphia and the Y. M. O. A. of
Chester played an exhibition game in the
hsl6 du.llg the last race.
BoLT1Nd HORSES.
Madam Marantstte, on the third at
tempt, successfully performed her tan
dem hurdle race. AT tina first attempt,
the gray horse, which led, swerved at
the first hurdle, which vas in front OF
the grand stand and rstassd 10 Jump IL
The other horRes went over and gha gray
