first race, a six-furlong sprint after his
chances looked very dark. He went to
the post favorite at to 1. Quarterstaff,
San Lucas, Almont, May Mccarthy and
Democrat also started.
San Lucas and May Mccarthy made
the running. engineering a wide turn into
the stretch, Carr taxing Creighton down
the center of the track, making up much
lost ground. Although be looked beaten
below the drawgate Carr persevered with
him and snatched out victory by half a
length from Quarterstaff. who beat San
Lucas neck for the place. Time, 1:2O.

post to 8. Chiquitc, ridden by Carr,

pieces and ChiquitO, we'll ridden by Carr,
won by two lengths, Hessen a poor third.
Time, 1:20h.
Thirteen sprinters gave Starter Fergu-
son a very lively time at the post in the
third race, and il was not until thirty min
utes bad been consumed that he finally
sent them away TO a fair start. 1t was
five-furlOng scramble. and the Eastern
horse Sligo was a big favorite, going to the
post TO 10. Numerous tips were out on
Sir Regin aid, O'Bee aud other bottled-up
good things.
When the flag finally fell. SalNe Calvert,
followed by OBee and Sligo, headed the
bunch. Al the half Salie was leading bv
half leueth, but shortly after was passed
by Red Brd, who led into the stretch,

good mud tends as Ciacquer. Realization,
Zampost, Annie Moore, Joe Cotton, Banjo,
