With the exception of the first race the
fields we're small, but two of the even Is
evoked finishes seldom seen in these parts.
The race of the day was the handicap at
six furlongS.
E Rayo. Motto and Joe Cotton were the
only cues to accept the weights, but the
spirited manner in which they ran was suf-
fcient to excite the appreciation of the
most fastdiQus racegOers.
The shrewd division settled upon Motto
as winner, and backed her so persist
entity that she went TO the post at to 10.
El RayO, the crack of i. C. Holly's stable,
was very we'll Thought Of especially by that
gentleman -.
He played him heavily at to 5. while
Joe Cotton was not overlooked at / to l.
When Ferguson dropped his flag Motto
was out IN front. Ell Rayo getting away

the running, and as she led such a Splinter

even terms: wiki her. The crowd was ex-
cited and individual yells for the horse that
was carrying their money came from all
sides. 1t Was n beautiful finish and the
rasult depended on staying qualities.

by neck from Motto. who just lasted long
enough TO beat joe Cotton head for the
place. The run was made in l 10.
For the selling event at five and a half
furlongS. tlfa purse ou-the card brought ten
sprinters 10 the post. Ida Glenn and Jim +
we're the most fancied by the bettors, and
when the lot went to the post Jim K ruled
fav0rite.
Lodi, who beat the same field last Thurs
day In :Q9l2, and who was disqualified for
toullng Morton, was singularly overlooked
by tie talent. They let him go to the post

much for her and at the head. Of the stretch
she gave way to Jim r. Tits fellow led
down the stretch by length and looked an
easy winner at the drawgate. Lodi. who
had struck the stretch in hird position was
hustled along by young Coombs in likely.
