SECOND pAY AT rAE RkcEs.


 It was not a large crowd that wit messed yesterdays races at the trotting park. but the people who were present H were well repaid for their trouble. The + track was again in excellent condition \ and some sgood races was the result. The pool sellers were kept pretty busy \ and to-day there is more than one horse man in the city who is lamenting the loss of some hundreds. The most excit- ing contest and one which drew out some surprise was the local race. As soon as the pools opened Lilley and Platt the owners of Graystone, who was entered as an unknown, bought him \ for favorite at $20, the field selling for | $25. They continued to buy and were ably assisted by many others sports who | received quiet tip that the unknown | was corker and no mistake. In the meantime J. w. Longworth and his l friends were quietly taking the field. It l was not the first time the little cyclone l George l.. has proved himself faithful l to his owner, and yesterday he must have won, for his packers in round numbers some $1 ,50O.
 In the 2:37 class, purse of $250, Corn wallis, Applewood, Kerwin. Cyclone, Frank w. and Lobdell were the starters. trotted a poor race. Lobdell had the pole and was. followed by Cornwallis. Both broke at the first quarter and Kerwin and Frank w. squared away for lead. They kept their lead of the rest and in the stretch it was fight be- tween Kerwin and Frank w. The latter spurted at the wire and won by half a length. Cornwallis came in third, but was set back to fourth for breaking; ,Applewood, third; Cyclone, fifth, and Lobdell just saved inside the pole. Time 2:3h. The second heat Frank w. maintained his lead all the way around, Kerwin second, Cyclone third, Cornwallis fourth. Applewood and Lobdell were both distanced, rum ming nearly half the mile to save them selves. Time 2:36. The third heat was won by Frank w. easily, Kerwin second, Cyclone third and Cornwallis Frank w., D g, w. F. Holbrook,

 In the 2:27 class Moxie had the pole, Paragon second, Morris Mullen third and Victory outside. Victory trotted @ great race and won while Moxie who was second all around was beaten by Paragon by a half length. Time 2:29i. The second heat was a hard fight be- tween Victory, Morris Mullen and Par agon, Moxie bringing up the rear. Vic tory managed to win by just a head, but was put back for breaking and the heat given to Morris Mullen. There was scarcely a length between the three horses at the wire. Time 2:30a. The third heat Morris Mullen led up to the first half, but bad break allowed Vic tory to take the pole and he was never headed, passing under the wire win ner, Mullen, Paragon and MoXie in the order named. The fourth heat re- quired sixteen scorings before they were sent off and then it was only done by the judges warning the drivers to desist and bring their horses up right. The
 whole trouble lay in the fact that the driver of Moxie-Peter Manee-was in- toxicated and persisted in remaining be-
 hind. Victory took the lead and held il to the end, Morris Mullen second, Par. agon third and Moxie dlstanced. The
 summary:
 Victory, b g, E. M. Lockwood, I Derby, 41ss Haven, s33; , York, 344 dil , Time 2:294, 2:3O4, 2:3O4, 2:31a.
 In the 2:4O class, purse of $15O, Dude
 had the pole, Graystone second, Farmer
 third, George l., fourth, and Bo-PeeI 7 outside. John Lawlor, the owner o . Dude, started to drive him, but aftel several attempts he asked the judges tt
 substitute George Haight as he was un
 able to hold the horse. George l.
 sprang at once to the front and the little
 gelding was never headed. Dudt , pushed him hard in the stretch, but hi
 propensity to break and run away los
 him any chance. He came in second , but was put back to fourth for breaking
 Farmer second, Bo-Beep third. Timt
 2:44a. The next heat was a pretty ract between George l.. and Dude. Th'
 latter's driver had strengthened the biz f chestnut gelding out, and from start tt
 finish it was a fight between the two
 Down the stretch they came neck anC f neck, but the little gelding responded nobly to the chirrup of his driver anC inch by inch drew away from hi
 big rival. The pace was , a killing one and Dude went into thu ] ar near the wire. Time 2:43. The thirC
 heat was a reputation of the second Ge.
 l. and Dude fighting for supremacy Dude could not overcome his small an 3 tagonist who won by a length { Dude was given third place for running l Bo Peep second, Farmer fourth: Tn, I summary
