gratifying to all connected with the venture.
Last nights attendance was 5000. the largest
ofthe week. and the number that came In dur
ing the day was far above the average. At 10
o'clock there was standing room only. the
vacant seats being limited to the boxes. As It
was what is called money house." the re-.
ceipts taken thus far must provide handsome

alive show that has exhibited In New York for
years.

than any Of the leaders. but while riding makes
the best time. When Martin finished his 700
miles he had only been absent from the track

having trouble with his machines.
