Points OF the Day.

ties. There were five races run, OF
which four we're trotting, while only
one was by the docked tails. This lat
ter race was the most exciting Of the
afternoon, the winner getting under the
wire bare nose ahead of the second
horse.
The other events included the 2.year-
old colt stakes, and the gentlemen's
race. There was only fair attendance,
but considerable betting was done in
which the short enders got slightly the
worst of the investment.
The day was more pleasant than the
two previous, the weather being warmer
and the sun shining. The track was
very hard and faster than on any other
dav of the week.
1t was nearly dark when the final heat
was run, the programme being consid-
erably prolonged. The events will COM
mence today at II O'Clock sharp, and
will include the great free for all trot,
the second most important race OF the
entire event.
In the running event Wait sold as fa-
vorite and won in two straight heats.
The race was three .eighths OF a mile,
best two out OF three heats.
The crowd gos off we'll punched. Wait
took slight lead and kept it for the
entire distance, winning in 3515, Ben
III. good close second, Gipsy Girl third
and May Goding distanced.
Some difficulty WAS experienced in
starting the trio for the final heat, but
they got away at last with Wait and Ben
Fl. slightly ahead. Wait led by half
length into the stretch, when Ben Fl.
drew up and made hard tight for the
heat. but was beaten by nose, Gipsy
Girl last. Time, 35s4.
2:27 CLASS.
1t was conceded that Gossiper would
walk away with this event, and as
result he was barred from the betting,
the guessing being done for second
place. There wac no award made of
second money or place, as each Of the
three field horses in one of the three
heats ran second, or third or fourth,
leaving them exactly even and tied for
second place at the end OF the race.
Flora was the choice for the first heat,
in which she got second place, but did
not get either of the remaining ones,
Conn getting the second and Tono the
third.
In the first heat Gossiper led from
the start, with Flora trotting a steady
second, the other two breaking. Cos
siper increased his lead all around and
they finally swung into the stretch with
Flora second and Conn trotting strong,
Tono well up. Conn tried hard to catch
finished nearly a length ahead, Tono
last.
During this heat the aeronaut went
up in his balloon and nearly everybody
watched him instead of the race. The
drop was made safely. Gossiper again
led all of the second heat, drawing away
from the field, winning in Jog. Flora
followed him for second place, but
Conn, who had dropped behind in the
fret quarter, drew up and passed Tono
in the first of the third quarter and
caught Flora in the last, swinging into
the stretch ahead of her. Conn lost his
feet but soon steadied down and got Sec
ond place, Flora finishing third and
breaking badly, Tono last.
Gcssiper again walked away with the
third heat and race, but Tono managed
to finish second. Conn started break
ing in the first quarter and was left by
Tono, who caught and passed Flora at
the half, who was also breaking. Conn
passed her and. and Flora broke repeat
edly fer the rest OF the race, breaking
badly at the finish aud coming in last.
Conn could pot catch Tono and finished
third.
GENTLEMEN's RACE.
TAis was the most amusing event of
the whole week. Several of the animals
took it into their heads not to trot, and
persisted in running almost the entire
race.
P.Q. had an easy race, taking the
event in three straight heats, none of
the other horses being dangerously near
at any time. Draco finished second in
each case.
Two-YEAn-OLD COLT STAKES.
McZeus took the race, getting the
first two heats. The balancepf the field
settled the other places between them.
TRoTTINa NOVELTY.
Gray Cloud easily took the first heat,
Sir Credit the second and Princeton the
last.
