The weather was a trifis winery, but perfect for tLe enjoyment of outdoor sports.

After delay of forty two minutes al the post the field got away iubad order, and Magian,a l5 to shot; who has developed into quite an in-and- outer, won in furious drive from Counter Tenor, who went 10 the post at odds of 3 10 l. Shortly after the field had been dis patched in this race Silvie and Owlet crossed Halma and seat him to his knees, throwing Clayton. The jockey, however, was unipjured.
 The next race ou the card was the Pel- ham Bay handicap for 3-year- olds. As- slgnea and Prig raced head aud head to the stretch, with Declare and Our Jack close up, but here the pacemakers died away. Declare and Our Jack drew away together, and furious drive ensued, Declare winning by scant head.
 The event of the day came next, the race
 
 testants were Sir Walter, Ctifford and Rubi- con. Sir Walter weut to le front the in- stant the fl ig fell. He was never headed and won in hot drive by an open length.
