RAoES At THE ExPOsITIoN.
Signet Girl, a Two-Y Year Old, Defeats Lydl
l.. and Victor.

l.. and Victor.
Mr.. =. William Rafter won a race on the
Exposition race-track yesterday. 1t was a
mile dash, S25 a side, and the provisions were
that he would outdistance the horse driven
by Mr.. John Reynolds.
Both of the steeds were buggy horses, but
were rapid sprinters. Mr.. Rafter ensconced
himself in a buggy, while Mr. Reynolds
guided his horse from sulky. 1t Is needless
to say that Mr.. Rafter carried more weight.
At he first start Rafter's horse broke be-
fore the wire was reached, and second start
was made. They passed under the wire neck
and neck, aud the word "GO' made
smile beam from the countenance
Of Mr.. Raiter. They continued around
the track with Reynolds in the lead,
and when the half mile was reached he was
several lengths before his rival. Raiter, how
ever gained. and ended the race by winning.
He was vociferously cheered by the specta-
tors. and congratulated by his friends. The
race had been run between the heats OF an
other race.
The latter was for a purse of 94OO, mile
heats. best three out of FIVE, and
the horses entered were Victor owned
bv Livingstone, driven by Bass Signet Girl.
owned 10y William H. Brauer, driven By
puzoe Lydie L, owned by Joseph Lassiter,
driven by German and Baby Mine. owned by
n. Leonard and driven 10y Mitchell and
Leonard
There was goodly crowd of spectators pre-
sent, composed of the sporting men OF the
city. but there were not as many as was pre-
sent at the last racing. Betting was also very
limited. twO-year-olds being rather variable
in their actions on a race-course.
In the first beat Lydie l.. passed under the
wire first, Victor second and Signet Girl
third On account Of the many breaks
while il was run it was given 10 Victor, with
Ly,iie J.. second. Time, 3:i933.
1he second heat, which was a rather in
terestng one, was won by Lydie l., Signet
Girl second and Victor third. The third
heat ended with Signet Girl first and Lydie
L. second. This was also the case in the
fourth heat After the second heat Baby
Mine was Withdrawn from the race.
The fifth heat. which decided the race
was, perhaps, the most interesting Of the
series The three horses came up 10 the wire
rs even as even can be. and dashed round
the track with Signet Girl IN the lead and
Lydic L. a good second. Victor being on the
outside could not get chance, and added to
her misfortune by breaking"
The two horses in the lead kept even until
the half-mile post was passed when Lydie l..
forged ahead and kept this position until tue
stretch was reached. Signet Girl then began
cutting atmosphere and ended the contest by
passing under the wire first with Lydie l.. a
good second.
