YESTERDAYS RACES.
Fayorites Took the Eight Event
The Pablo Won.

sented yesterday gave great satlstac-
ton. The track was IN good shape. and
the races were run remarkably true to
form, the fayorites winning in every
race. fair time being made. Some of
them were not very pronounced favor
ties; or, rather, there were several races
in which there was not great disparity
in the odds between the first and second
choices. but it was what might be called
a tavorites' day throughout, with every
race on its merits. The public quit
winner on the day and went home we'll
satisfied. The books were out. for there
was large play. but they guarded their
odds pretty carefully.
In the nrst race the favorIte, VIM
chester, undoubtedly pumped himself
out so he could not win, but the delay
at the post enabled the players to hedge.
so that by the time they went off Opti-
mus was favoIite. Grammar took the
second race after sharp fight. as did
Buckfly the third, and Lord Willard the
fourth. Tom Sayre got the fifth easily
enough, although Ham was out to win
on Toots, and the sixth was Mol
lie BIS oats as gift. Commission
took the seventh handily, although with
not much TO spare. and My Partner won
the last by length. 1t was good, sharp
racing in nearly all events. and was one
of the most enjoyable days at the meet
ing. About 5000 people attended, and
there were calls for Secretary Frank
Shaw at the close of the day, but that
gentleman couldn't be found, SO there
was no sIeechmaking.

and baked until Garner gave up riding
him. He was favorite at TO in the
race and Starter Fergerson did not want
10 leave him. Finally little bare footed
stable boy, black as the ace of spades,
volunteered to ride the colt. He was
gotten into the saddle with some diff

very first start. The betting in
the meantime changed with each
new cOntortion of Winchester. The
betting went up from to ) to 2 to l,
while Optimus and Vendee. the entries
fr1m the Minnesota stables, were backed
off the board, and the odds on the others
