spectators had not expected tosee much
racing, for the grand stand during the
afternoon was never more than half
full, and not much enthusiasm was
shown. To-day, however, a big crowd
is expected, and the grand stand will no
doubt be full. Besides the 2:24 and
9 :2S trots and the 2:37 pace four races
will be given by Miss Myrtle Peek's
running combination.
Miss Peek yesterday gave an exhlbi-
ton OF fancy riding. Mounted on a
beautiful black horse, she put the ami
NAL through a great variety OF fancy
steps, TO the music Of the Opera House
band. 1t was very pretty show, and
Miss Peek was handsomely applauded.
The management of the quarter
stretch is much better than that OF last
year. at that time the track was fire.
Quently INSTRUCTED by crowds lined
along the fence on the west side, and 1t
seemed miracle that no serious acci-
dents occurred. Yesterday mounted
marshals, Messrs. John Jacobs, 0. P.
Miller and Lee Dixon, galloped up and
down and kept the crowd in its place.
Every gate leading into the track was
in charge OF Waterman. Nobody was
allowed on the race course while a heat
was on, and the consequence was that
every body had a fair view OF all the
races, and no accidents occurred.
Lots Of people saw for the first time
the new low wheeled, pneumatic tired,
ball bearing sulky. Most OF the horses
were driven to the new vehicle, and the
old style sulkies were few and far be-
tween.
Mr.. H. Y. Hayden, OF Lexington,
KY, was the starter Messrs. David
Darrah, of Bellaire, and R. A. Ander-
son were the judges, and Mr.. Charles
Hancher the time keeper. Mr.. Harden
would stand no foolinC on the part OF
the jockeys, and though he was not q
martinez, he was strict enough, and
managed to impress the boys with the
knowledge that he meant to be obeyed.
