LAST DAYS RACES.
Another Great Day for Shareholders
Eree-for-Au Trot.

drew very large crowd to the Park.
The trains arriving on the preceding
night brought large crowds from the
country of persons who could give but
one day to the fair. OF the three regular
races on the days programme two went
to the favorites, but on one no pools were
sold. In the other, the free-for-all trot,
the talent went down awfully hard and
the short-enders reaped golden harvest,
the tavorite, Mckinney, not winning a
heat.
The weather was simply perfect and all
the conditions were conducive to the
pleasure of visitors. The concluding
of music was selected with
unusual care by Conductor NeaIe of the
First Artillery Band and the trombone
and cornet solos by specialists Tobin and
Miss Noble were as usual highly appre-
ciated.
The Judges for the day were President
Cox and Directors Green and Matthews,
and the Timers Director De Long, NJ. X.
higgins and ID. NJ. Burns. During the
great free-for-all trot Governor Mark
nam and Irwin c. Stump occupied seats
III the Timers stand and were interest ed
spectators of the events.
FIRST RACE.
First on the programme for the day
was the unfinished free-for-all pace, in
which were Our Dick, DR.. Swift, Princess
Alice and Alannah. Our Dick had two
heats, Swift one and Princess Alice one.
Before the start Dick sold as favorite at
$50, against 81 for the field.
Complaint having been made that Swift
had not been driven to win on the pre-
ceding day, the Judges placed Jonathan
in the sulky instead of Corey.
The horses scored a long time before
they were sent off. Dick took the lead at
once, and was never caught during the
heat. Alice broke badly twice and thus
lost any chance she might have had.
Dick beat Swift out by ten lengths in 2:l6!,
Alice third.
