capital afternoons sport, and with the
exception that the ladies turned out in
smaller numbers the crowd seemed as large

heavy, sloppy and slow, and the time was
consequently bad In every race, but exciting
finishes took place. and the weather over
head was delightfully."- pleasant and clear.
Many pnnters are now following THE CALL

Yesterday they went home jubilant, as
there were no less than three winners and
three placed horses out of five races, and in
the two year-old handicap they were placed
absolutely first and second, Billy Dona.

Sir Reel for place. the winner having
good ODDS listed against him.

first race on the card, Oporto being stron s
second choice, others poorly backed. A
couple OF breaks and off went Joe NarvaeZ
in the lead on MeCarty's colt, but he soon
gave way TO the favorlte and Grandee.

Lottie Mills was the pick OF the talent in
the mile race for three-year-oldS, Early and

named went up, second at the quarter, aud,
bar these two, the others were stretched out

showed first into the homestretch, and
Blondlnette under the whip managed to re-
main second to the half distance, where
