storm, with heavy rain, last night; a
leaden sky, with drilling rain, this
forenoon, and lowering, threatening
clouds this afternoon, with a cool at
moSphere, chilled the hearts of many
race-gOerS, else Latonia would have
opened the tirstday's races with an at
tendance OF Is, GOO instead of 10000. 1t
was pleasant afternoon, however, aud
the track, though slow, was better than
if no rain at all had fallen. OF the at
tendance very large number were la
dies, many of whom were of prominent
families in Cincinnati and the neighbor-
ing cities. The new stables, which in
crease the accommodation to a capacity
for GOO horses, the new paddock removed
from the center to one side of the field,
and the large and elegant new betting
stand elected universal admiration. All
the races were well contested, but the
feature of the day on which universal
interest was focused was the Latonia
Derby, the fourth race. Kingman came
to LatOnia covered with laurels, and
although he was a prime fayorte last
night, there were doubts to-day whether
he would hold up on a heavy track
That was dispelled by the race. In the
start Georgetown led, with Dickerson
second, all the way through the first
mile. Meanwhile Kingman was last in
the start, fifth at the turn, third at
the judges stand, last on entering
the back stretch, but at the end of the
mile he took third place and held it
until the home turn, when he walked to
front and won easily by length, with
DickerSou second and Poet Scout third,
amid eNultant shouts and cheers from
the great mass or excited spectators.
Klngman is owned by Stone and Allen,
who paid $3.50 for him at sale at Chi
cago. The judges were MessrS J. f.
Robinson, Ed c. Hopper and l.. p.
Tarlton; the timers, Messrs George
Cadwallader and B. j. Weacy; the
starter, j. G.. Sheridan.
