16.-There was a good attendance at the
race track here to-day and as the fields
were a little larger than they have been

night, the track was rather heavy to-day
and fast time was not anticipated. One
of the most exciting finishes ever seen
here took place in the second race be-
tween Tiuge aud Ella Reed. Ella Reed
forged to the front in the last few strides
and won a good race by a short head.
Little Matt carried of the hOnoUs in the
fourth race by defeating Live OAK. There
was anOtner close finish in the last race,
in which Jodau, Jack Rose and Hazel
hatch ran almost neck and neck down the
home stretch, but Jack Rose spurteu and
captured the race by a nose.
