Yesterdays RACES.

Cricket, the Phenomenal PAGER, Meets
an Unexpected Waterloo.
There was another great throng of peo-
pie at the races yesterday afternoon, the
grand stand being crowded from end to end,
and the special stand much better patron
lied than on any previous day. The
weather was the warmest of the week,
there being very little air stirring. This
| operated somewhat to the discomfort of
the spectators, but was very acceptable to
the owners of the horses that went in the
races. AS usual, excellent music was rem
dered by the First Artillery Band at inter-
walls during the afternoon. The chief attrac-
ton of the afternoon was the appearance of
Dan Dennison in sulky behind Laura z,
enveloped in an i'll. fitting but conspicuous
suit of pink, with black polka dots. He
was the observed of all observers.
The judges were Directors Green, La
Rue and Singletary.
During the afternoon Monroe Salisbury
speeded his stations Director and Direct,
and the celebrated mare Margaret S. up
and down the quarter-stretch. The grand
trio were greatly admired.
When W. l.. Appleby was fined 800 by
the judges, on Wednesday, for an infrac-
ton ofthe racing rules, he talked back in
very rough manner to them. At first it
was the intention of the judges to rule him
off the track, but they decided that as the
offensive language was used while Mr..
Appleby was in a state Of excitement, they
would let him of with reprimand. Yes.
terday be was called into the judges stand
and informed of their decision. 1t is said
that be then and there became mere abus-
i've than on the preceding day and dared
them to do their worst. The judges accord
ingly ruled him off the track for life, under
the provisions of Rule IA.
