GOOD RIDING.

The times made in the races yesterday
prove the wisdom Of Superintendent Field
wlck'S plan Of covering the track with a
heavy layer of sand, and is now in a con-
dition TO stand even protracted spell of
bad weather. A sharp shower that fell
yesterday while the horses were at the
post in the second race improved the going
and made it considerably faster.
The racing was close and exciting, the
attendance above the average, and specu-
latOn most lively. but the talent was ter
ribly at sea in its work of guess

races the bookmakers must have lad

in the fourth race when Zobair, a 25 to
shot, got home in front of the heavily
played Happy Day, Boston Boy and
Tigress, must have been the most complete
on record for this meeting. All three of
these were nearly wiped off the boards,
the first named being an exceptionally
warm favOrlte at even money and to .,
at Which prices his owner, who thought
the best OF his chances, had S400 on him TO
win. His defeat must have been due TO
his inability 20 utilize the extreme speed
which he is so noted for showing in the
stretch owing 10 the deeper and heavier
going, which prevented his getting up in
time to quite catch Zobar, who owed his
victory partly perhaps to that fact, but
mostly to HanawaIt's cool judgment aud
presence of mind in being prepared to
stall off the rush of Happy Day at the
drawgate. Sloan, who was on Happy Day,
was called into the judges stand and asked
for an explanation of his riding of the
gelding. The fact that Happy Day ran up
to his true form in beating Boston Boy
four lengths and was handled just in the
same manner whenever and wherever lie
has Iun before stands out as fairly CON-
plete answer TO any criticism of the boys
riding. which was really a great display of
horsemanship, and it is more than doubtful
If any rider at the track could have got
any more out of Holly's gelding on what
was practically new and strange going or
brought him any nearer at the finish. This
made the fourth fall in succession that
the talent had received and they were un-
able to recover themselves in the last race,
which went to what can only be considered
a fair second favorite.
The starting was excellent, and the mar
velous patience displayed by Mr.. Fergu-
son In the second race, when an hours de-
lay was due solely to Jacobin's stubborn
behavior. merits the praise of all who had
become so impatient as not to care if their
money was burnt up or not.
