ON THE RicE TRACKS.

flENt Thousand people gathered lnnrS-
day afternoon ut the Bay for the express
purpose Of seeing the Sea and Sound stake
and the Bridge handicap. They We're not
disappointed as More.l0 shouldcred his l2S-
pound impust and won the Sea and Sound
in gallop, going the distance, about six
furlungs, IN LII 49,
Then came the Bridge handicap. for
which Lamplighter, ARA and 70 Tam.
hien were the choices. Iorkville Belle
was withdrawn. The race was corker,
and l4ampighter again proved himself the
best 3-year.Old of the year by carrying his
l26 pounds, and taking the S2O,OOn prize
from Fidelio, the pacemaker, in the last
sixteenth. lIamplighter's time was 2.33 40
To Tambien was beaten at the end Of
mile, her heavy weight stopping her.
StOnenell was scratched from the first
race because of an error in the guide that
made him win race this year worth more
than $1,000. His owner claimed that il
should have been 81 500, and asked for q
four pound allowance. This was refused
and he was threatened with expulsion
from the Board Of Control Tracks. Later
in the day 1t was asccrtained that Stone
nell's owner was right, and he was noti-
fled that he was still i'll good standing.
This, however, does not make good the
81 900 purse which the horse would surely
have won.

first race, and although the field was
large one, they plunged on him so heavily
that his price soon went down to | to .
Doncaster carried all the money safely ant
won quite easily, although Heather RAJ

The fourth race was the prettiest tina
