The mighty attraction of the big show,
however, is. as always, the races. Thurs
day is ever the banner day and this year
it saw more people, so old frequenters
say, than were ever before gathered on
the grounds. Those accustomed to deal
with large figures talk of thirty and forty
thousand people, but let us content our
selves with twenty. That's quite a lot.
They began coming in the morning and
kept on in steady stream until o'clock.
Then the tide began to turn.
The Colt Race.
The first business of the trotting day
was the completion of Wednesdays I'M
finished races. The stake for foals of
1890 was disposed of in short order, one
heat only being trotted and Dorcas Pratt
winning in 2.394. AS distances were
waived all those horses dropped out
Wednesday started again. The contest
between Dorcas and Grenadier was at
times lively, but never doubtful.

The s.s1 Fight.

Then the great fight in the 2.31 class
was resumed and fought out. When
darkness came on Wednesday four
horses, Marchioness, Haroldson, Halle
and It'd jefferson, had each won heat.
The fifth heat was called at 1 o'clock,
with It'd at the pole, place she held to
the finish, though pressed hard by both
Halle and Dinah up to the turn, when
Dinah fell to fifth place, with Halle sec
ond and St. James third. Time 2271.
In the sixth heat there were 10 start
ers and pretty send off. The fight was
between It'd and Halle and was close
and exciting, the latter winning by
scarcely a length. Time 2.263. This
left the two each with two heats, and the
seventh to decide. Fortune alternated
between the leaders during the last heat
down to the home stretch, when Halle
forged ahead and again won by a length.
Time 2.278.

was such that he was consulted by the
older heads. There are many Of Mr..
Evarts friends in Wall street. His law
offices have been there for many years.
They tell about the mans great VIC

proceeded against the Cleopatra f1ibus-

established the right of the United
States in times Of war to treat captured
vessels as maritime prizes; how he
proved in great lawsuit the uneonsti-
tutionahty Of the act taxing govern

how he advocated the claims of the re-

He used to be the representative of the

done in this line OF practice"
