FIRST RACE.
The first race Of the afternoon was tho
opening scramble for two-year olds, and
brought to the post DR.. Ross. The Peer,
Lucinda, Sam Mount, Bessie W., IN
dine and Romair.
In the pools DR.. Ross was hot favorite
at $50 against Sl2 for the field.
The colts were very unruly, and no less
than seven breakaways were made before
the flag fell. When they were sent away
The Peer showed up in front, with Ro-
mair second, and the favorite, Ross, some
distance back in the crowd. AS the half
mile post was reached Ross was seen
| moving up toward the front and on
rounding the turn he took the lead. Com
ing home the colts were all strung out,
each jockey playing whip and spur for
all they were worth. AS the colts neared
the wire ii was seen that Ross was well
TO the fore, but The Peer was becoming
troublesome and gaining at every jump.
Ross rider, an Indian lad, had appar
emily lost his head and worked his arms
and legs like the fans of a windmill. AS
Ross passed under the wire, in Lilo, The
Peer landed his nose at his shoulder, with
Undine length and half back, the 9TH
ers well strung out.
