THE TURF.
The Third Days Races at the Daven-
port Mile Track-Allert0n.

The Third Days Races at the Daven-
port Mile Track-Allerton.
Yesterday was the third day of the
races of the Davenport Mile Track club.
and it being ladies' day. large number
of the fair sex graced the occasion by
their presence.
The first race of the day was the $50
class for purse of $3.50. Fleetwood took
first money, the best time being 2:203.
The second race was the 3.yesr- old
trot for purse of $500 Bridal Bells won
the race; the best time being 2.31.
The third race was the free>for>all
trotting. purse $1,000, Clara p won. the
best time of the race being Q GOT.
Today closes the meeting, the event
being the grand SO. 500 special pacing
race between Guy and Manager.
The Democrat says this morning of the
famed horse. Allerton:
G. w. Williams. the owner of the
king OF the turf, who sprained himself in
the race with Lobasco Wednesday, was
on the grounds yesterday. but he was not
in any of the races. He had put in q
pretty busy nigh of it with Allerton, and
he had the satisfaction of knowing that
his pride and pet was better. He was
visibly improving. and there was reason
to hope that he was not as badly hurt as
was feared, or as was indicated at fret.
Mr.. Williams hoped to have the great
horse in condition to meet Nancy Hanks,
he said. They are billed to trot at Inde-
pendence in about month. As Aller-
toms record is 2.094 and that of Nancy
fiat 200. it will be seen that a great im-
provement is expected to take place in
Allerton within that time.
Mr.. Williams gives out one thing cold,
however. and that Is that Allerton,
no matter how much he is speeded and
matched on the turf. is done with rail-
roads. He will not do any more travel
ing. The risks incurred in transporting
a 500. 600 horse about the country in
the best Of cars and on the best Of rail-
roads are too great. He will be left here
a few days. Mr.. William himself leaving
for Independence today probably if he
has not gone before this meets the read-
er's eye. the horse to follow on as soon as
he is really fit to place in transit. Oace
arrived at Independence he is to stay
there. Anybody VINO wants TO trot him
will find him there. but he will not 60
out for conquest any more.
