THE POOLS LAST NIGHT.
The way in which the favorites were
left on the first two days had it's effect
on the pool selling last night. No one
seemed to have the nerve to go against
the field again, and Mr.. Reilly shouted
himself hoarse in a vain attempt to ge
a line on the flyers. One solitary poo
was sold, Lady r. e. D., bringing S1C
in the three minutes trot, while the
field brought S. After accomplishing
this feat, Mr.. Reilly gave up the at
tempt, and announced that if anybod,
wanted any more pools they could bI
had at the track this afternoon
