Good Time in the Last
Race.

''It was Just too lovely for anything.
I'm gong TO come again tomorrow"
This exclamation was heard through
the grand stand at the conclusion of the
last event. as the ladies, who had ac-
cepted the free invitation Of the club,
arose to start home.
1t was a delightful days racing, I'M

jockey. He was badly hurt, and had to
be literally carried to the starter shack.
At the Judges stand DR.. Flynn, Of Red
wood Falls. and DR.. Stone, of St. Paul,
attended him. No bones were broken.
The ladies' stakes race was prepared
for the especial dedication of the fair
sex. and they euiOyed it hugely. 1t
was full of thrilling excitement, and it
ELECTED all the enthusiasm the ladies'
had to lavish upon the beautiful per
formers.
Full of excitement as this event was,
1t was cast into total eclipse by the
great battle between Guido and Yale
81 in the second race. Guido was the
favOTite. and next came Princess Limo,
g fOuT-yeaT-Old chestnut hllY, owned by
j. T.. Williams. She was an utter
stranger, but the talent took kindly to
her and the backing was immense in
the pools. Even the ladies thought

spectators absolutely wild. Yale had

I.4I1z. made last year by Rival. There
is q dispute as to whether the track was
as fast yesterday as on the day of
Rivals performance.
Getaways performance was also
something wonderful. He ran. with 100
pounds up, one mile and fifty yards in
1862. This is an odd distance. ana
there IS no record for it. Lizzie B holds
the record for one mile and seventy
yards. with l04 pounds, at 1861.
1t was when the odds were marked up
for the fourth race that the spectators
took things in hand and made things so
lively that the bOOkmakers were struck
with fright. Pat COnley was followed
with a precipitate rush. and he dumped
his friends with shocking abandon. The
biggest odds that were cashed in were s

"bOokies" had q mighty rich thing of it
because they played all the races so
close and so cleverly that the money was
well scattered. Their attitude has been
SO shrewd indeed that people are begin

greater odds should be placed in some
instances.
