though much better than the previous
of Tuesday night. The attendance was
much lighter than the day before, but
there was little abatement of the ell
thusiasm that had been kindled on
Derby day.
The patrons of the track however.
were in far from an amiable mood at the
outset, but their garrulOus discomfort
soon wore off as the programme pro-
gressed. To explain, two events had
been run eff before the major portion of
the crowd was able to reach the grand
stand. The recent storms have played
sad havoc with the tracks of the rail-
way company, and, while it had been
announced that train would leave for
the Hamline race course at 20, it was
really 9:l5 before it began to move, and
then it rolled out at smart
pace, and it was 1888 before
the gates were overtaken. Naturally
the air was blue with the invectives
hurled at the management of the rail-
submit gracefully to such treatment.
They will not pay for five races and
only see three. But, as related, this
feeling of wrath passed away immedi-
ately upon witnessing the great perform

afforded.
First moneys were captured yesterday
by Goldstone. Tillie S, Lookout. Lake
land and Lillian Lindsay, and each one
of this quartette is an individual per-
former that has won rich prizes in the
East. True, they generally OutclaSSed
their rivals, although lin some instances,
they were hard pressed.
1t remained for Cushing and Orth's
superb Lookout, son of TrOubadour and
Christine, to carry off the Minneapolis
stakes. This was quite the proper
caper, however, for the chestnut colt is
Minneapolis equine. He has brill
prophesy that he will be the pride of
the Flour City hence Oh. The story of
the strugglers is given below.
The Days Feature.
The third race was the feature of the
"a sweepstakes for tw0-year- olds,
eleyen-siXteenths of mile, and the
stake netted the winner Sl,660. There
were but three candidates that went to
the post, and, although the excitement
was great. the betting seemed to be
rather timid. At the first pop
out of the box st. Croix had
the most friends, but presently
the talent began plunging on Lookout,

for the ''bookies" were a little afraid of
the proweSS of this somewhat unknown
quantity.
Each performer made an admirable
showing, however, when brought to the
post after warming-up gallop. With
Britton, who seems to be invincible. up
Oh Lookout. the admiration of the con-
course was quickly challenged. The
son of TroubadourCh his chest

murky air. with his colors of blue and
old-gold stars. presented a pretty
picture as he sprang lithely
past the grand stand. He
was ''fine as silk" but St. Croix, the
proud chestnut son of Iroquois- Satinet,
seemed no less prepOsSeSsing under his
brilliant cOlorS of blue, white and pur-
pie, and Adolph's bright canary pre-
sented an inviting aspect. He certainly
looked like a dang erOus rival. and some
placed confidence in the possibility Of
his showing himself factor in the bat
tie for the possession of the rich prize.
The three candidates logged around
laZily to the starting point. Adolph
was first to reach the post, and then the
other two came along tOgether-vislt-

the first honest attempt. although there

"Adolph is in the Ieadv' shouted the
lusty caller for the bookmakers. and
then hush spread over the people.
Suddenly the cry was changed to
Lookout and st. CroiX are moving up
fast, on even terms. They are all to-
gether; neck and neck at the quarter"
and SO on rang out the stentorian tones
of the caller: but his voice was now
drowned in the shout that went up from
every masculine throat, while the fair
sex waved their handkerchiefs and
clapped their hands. 1t was an inspirit-
ing sight. The three performers. ey-
tending themselves on muddy track,
darted around the turf nose and nose,
