TWO SACKS IOf y Cente.
Las DAYS RACES.
The Weather Wa Fine and the Horses ALI
Made Good Records.
lt was O great day on the track. The
owners of several horses, taking advantage
of the fact that they cannot strike a faster
track, sent them for records and not one of
them failed TO get q better mark than he
bad had before. The purse events were
not remarkable for the time made. unless
IL be with one exception, that they were
hard fought battles, the entries in oil
seeming to bav stood a p~ot-iuck chance in
winning, except the 2:24 pace. which made
up for it's tameness by the time hung out.
The stand began to fill early, and while the
jam of the day before Was Dot repeated.
there was no time until late In tine
afternoon when chairs went begging
for occupants. The band. which had
played an %Spen-a,r concert on the
strains were bnt dimly heard by the seeth-
ing crowd below, esumed it's place in the
center of the stand, and scattered melody
between heats. Tn track was in fine con-
ditlon. and one application of the drags
made it look as sleek as a silk hat The
officials in the stands were the same
as had occupied them during the week.
The hrst race mp was O match race that
had been gotten mp the night before he
tween three horses. and WAS for $50 do
Dated by the entries. They were called
out shortly after II O'Clock, and trotted
three heats, each horse winning one, when
they were compelled To postpone further
ones or account OF the regular card.

horses responded out of nine, who had
