LOUISVILLE, KY, May 17.-The track
| at Churchill Downs to-day was little
| short of quagmire and the weather
was wretched. Just before the first
race what promised to be fierce storm
| began, and for an hour the rain poured
| in torrents and the wind blew gale.
There were about 1900 people at the
track, however, and a majority OF them
made things pleasant for the booknak-
ers, as these lucky individuals were by
no means doleful when the last race had
been ran. The event Of the day
was the Merchants handicap, and
while but two horses started-Bal-
gowan and R0rka-still the tip on
RCrka was so successfully; spread
around that as good rs to 5 was to be
had for some time against Balgowan.
he WAS never in trouble and showed
himself to be by long odds the most
improved colt in the West
