Yucatan. Little George and

Exciting-Crowd Not Overly
Large-Friday's Card.i
The second day of the Twin CITY
Jockey clubs meeting was grand
success, except in point of attendance.
For while it looked as though the
bookmakers, jockeys. touts and the free
listwould constitute the gathering; but
the crowd increased, and when the first
race was called upward of 1900 people
were present. The weather was any
thing bu: favorable, there being a
strong wind, and the track was also a
little heavy. The talent showed signs
of weakness in bettiug. Instead of $lO)
and 500 bets, the amounts placed
ranged from SO to So. The betting was
lively, however, and the bookmakers
are probably glad that the amounts
were small. as nearly all the talent
were on winners. With the excep-
tion Of the second race. it is
probable that the bookmakers were
heavy losers. In this race Roy
Lochiel. of the Red Ribbon stable. was
a hot favorite. In the first betting Roy
came up to 10. There was any amount
of money poured in and the price was cut
to to 3. At this olds the talent still
wagered large amount. and, finally. all
the spectators except one firm refused
to take any money OIL the horse. Muir.
ply stood pat. and, as result, he is
several hundred dollars ahead, as Roy
Lochiel was easily beaten. In the last
race the talent again made great rush
TO get their money on j. E. Cushing's
Wlghtman, who was favorite from the
start. Hundreds of dollars were placed
by the Flour City sports on the Mime
apolis horse. and, as OH Derby day.
Wightman won easily, and the book
makers were kept busy for an hour
cashing tickets on the horse that O'Hara
rode. The events started at o'clock
and were through at little past ).
There were no special features of the
day, save the dump in the secon race.
Starter Ferguson, as on Derby day, had
excellent luck in getting the horses off
we'll, and there was not complaint
from any quarter. 1t is quite evident
that all the horses thus far started have
been ''out for the stu if" and that is all
the talent asks for.
THE RACES.
: The firStrace-seven-e lgilthS of mile
for a purse Of 500 was exceedingly
interesting Remorse and Calhoun were
the favorites. The talent evidently were
we'll posted on Remorse's capabilities
for winning, and poured large sum of
money into the books. In the last bet
ting Remorse was even money, having
been cut from 8 to 1. Remorse got off a
lengtll in the lead. and set the pace
throu rhout- the race. Calhoun and
WilHston run gamely on the back
stretch, and promised to give Remorse
a-hard fight in the stretch. but Jockey
Ham won, riding easily. with Calhoun
second and Williston third. Bismarck
was fourth. a neck ahead of Henry
jenkins. Sly Lisbon was fifth. and
Looking Backward. Pearl N, Fakir,
Dousman. Orphan and Kingsclere came
in the order named. Ham rode the
winner. Time, :33.
The talent looked a little surprised
after the second race, three quarters of
mile. Everyone thought that Roy
Lochiel had walk-over and placed
their money accordingly. Yucatan, the
second choice, won the race handilv,
aud Jockey Mcdonald, who rode the
fayorlte, was a little surprised to find
his horse second under the wire The
race was pretty one and the horses
were kept we'll punched until the
stretch was reached. Chorn rode the
winner. Time. 1:lsL.
Third race, for three-year-oldS, purse
$3.50. distance one mile-Francis Pope
was the favorite in this race, with
Little George second choice. The bet
ting opened with to on Pope, but the
large sums placed by the talent reduced
the price to 2 to and Z to 81 Little
George was selling 4 to l in the first
betting and 5 to.1 in the last. The
favorites were several lengths away
when the word was given. Envy Sc

pace to the quarter. Adjuster was

were riding hard. 1t was evident that
the favorites were to b. given contest
for first place. At the half Little George
was given a call. and around the turn
he crept ND by Pope'S side, and when
the stretch was reached the talent was
in doubt as to the winner. Little George
set All awful pace and won by neck.
