RACE TRACK. NORRIS PARK. June
4.-The attendance here to-day VAS ex-
cellent for u Monday. The entries had
been issued carly Saturday afternoon. and
the crowd, after studying the card all
day Sunday, came to the conclusion that
there would be some rea. good sport at
the Westcnester course to-day. Hence
the good attendance.
Judge their amaZencnt and disgust
therefore, when they arrived at the track
and found that an epidemic of some kind
had struck the horse-owners, and that
scratches in profusion were made.
Three were withdrawn from the second
race. including Banquet. four from the
! bird race, eight from the New Rochelle
stakes, and seven from the fifth. This
left fields OF skeleton-llke proportions.
The weather was clear and pleasant
and the track did not show the effects
of last nights shower. Tit turns only
were a trifle slow.
The opening event was for two-year-
olds. The race was conceded to lie be-
tween Walter and Harry Reed, the
youngster recently purchased by M. F:
Deyer; They op n,ne at even money
up at the close. None of the books
made a choice and the public did not
seem to have any.
but the performance of Harry Reed was
amazing to those who saw his good race
a few days ago. He was actually
beaten asixteenth Of a mile. finishing
next to last. Pisaroon, an 100 to l
chance, was second and Mosquito third.
~Pickpocket was served up as a hot
fayorite In the SECOND rage. and he won
furlohg pole home. This pair were the
only ones in 1t. Count and Clarus were
beaten Off. Sims rides Herald better
than any one else, and he kept the ia
v%orite's hackers guessing for a long
time.
