THE RACES.
When the bell tapped for the g.
minute trot for the purse of $3.50,
perhaps one thousand people were in
the grand stand, and they were eager
for the sport. There were only three
starters, S. W., Protection and ALT.
Taylor. The latter led in the start
and down to the first quarter when
S. w. moved up to first place, but
could not hold it against the bay stall
lion. Protection, by a wonderful
squirt, passed S. w. and pushed Aft
Taylor hard for the wire, but failed
to pass him. This heat was given to
Aft Taylor by length. Protection
won the second heat, S. w. captured
the third and Protection won the
next two, and the race.

The second race was the 3.year-old
trot for $3.50 and had only three star
tiers. They were Woodnote, Egghot
and Shoulderstrap. This race was
not 50 exciting as the 3.minute trOt,
Notwithstanding the fact that better
time was made. Egghot had walk
over from the start and won the race
in straight heats.

In the above races Protection and
Epghot did some of the best trotting
that has been seen in slow rings at
the fair grounds. They are good
horses, and will do to bank on.
The race between Lee III. and VIM.
Singerly for purse of $500, as
stated yesterday, was declared off on
account of the sickness Of the former
horse. Jas. p. Gill, however,
agreed to let his PAGER, VIM. r., 60
against the fleabltten gray, and the
race was called. 1t was a hippo.
drome from start to finish. The best
time made in any heat was 2:35, and
Singerly won all of them. The
crowd had nearly all gone home be-
fore the last heat was paced.
TO DAYS PROGRAM.
The program for to day is better
than that of yesterday, and will, in
all likelihood, draw larger crowd. |
The harness ring in the forenoon
offers about one hundred dollars in
premiums, and the contests will be
close. All the exhibitions in this
ring will be of stations, mares and
geldings driven in harness.
The speed rings are faster than any
yet offered, embracing the 2:40 trot,
2:25 class trot and pacing race (foaIs

Gypsy Queen and Brutus Girl

and in the two ear-old pace Natalie
Wilkes and Comet will be the con.

NOTES OF THE TURF.
There was much complaint from the
grand stand at the way the judges con-
Quoted the races, especially in mark
ing the time and name of the winner
on the bulletin board. This was
done so badly in many instances the
time could not be distinguished.
Then in the three-year-old tr0t the
were not suppiiedswith num-
bers, and people who did not know
the horses could not keep the score.
This was explained by the manage
ment on the ground that the num-
bers on the score cards ran higher
