The Results.
The RACES FEATURELESS.

1t was chilly at the HamIine race
track yesterday Tor the first time since
the meeting opened Whether the
weather affected the horses. the betting
and the crowd is uncertain, but every
thing seemed TO be rs slow as the time
made. The conditions OF the races evil
IDENTIFY did not suit the EOrSemen. for
the entries were poor in number and
quality. The Oookmakers laid such
close ODDS that there was only chanc5
tor speculation in one or two OF the
live events. In fact the bookieS seem
to pick the winners now Instead Of the
players. Perhaps this is eXcuSable in a
manner, tOc tile horses are So we'll
known and the crowd is so shrewd in
its playing that the books have To be
careful. The betting was almost ride
ulouSly light, and none OF the
blocks could hardly have paid expenses.
The races. aside from couple of close
finishes, Were featurelesS. One horse
owner has cauSe to regret the day at
least. ibis was o. o. West Jr., the
owner of Susie Neil. There was no
betting on her whatever. AMI when the
tilly was offered at the ridiculously
small tisare of 800 III the selling after
race, j. Il. Hand, the owner OF Moss
Terry, bid her up to 500. Whether
this was i'll retaliation for the entering
OF the tllly in race in which she out
ciaSSed the others. or because Mr.. Hand
wanted to get her, is open to conjecture.
Ehe Races.
First race, -year-oIdS. that had
not won more than one race during the
meeting, five furlUngS.
There WAS scarcely any money OH
this race, and the foreign books actually
got the attention. or the preponderance
of the players. 1t seemed cinch that
Keller would win and Sayre would
come second. The race was between
the two sure enough. but Sayre beat
Keller out in the stretch. 1t looked
very much as if Chorn did not make
much effort to nave the mare win.
