races at Agricultural Park were seriously
interfered with to-day by the heavy rain,
which began falling about noon and
poured down all the time until dusk. Not
wthstanding all this, quite large crowd
attended, and the two unfinished trotlng
and pacing races of yesterday were fin-
ished aud the regular programme of run
ming races was cleared.
For the first time during the whole week
there were no postponed or unfinished
events, and the track to-day was in a
horrible condition. AS soon as the horses
went over it a few times it was covered
with slush, and the racers could hardly
keep their feet.
The unfinished pacing race in which the
judges thought c. Il. Corey failed to drive
his mare. Laura NJ. to win and put j.
Dustin behind her. was settled to-day In
one heat. Bell Ook the heat and the race
without any difficulty, Laura NJ being sec
Ond. Ketchum, however, was given second
money.
The trot,ing race was unexciting as the
rack was too muddy. Falacy seemed to
be more accustomed to racing than any of
the others, and after she got warmed up
in the first heat, won the other two easily.
being so heavy.
The running was even more exciting
than antic Dated and three out of the five
events were won by other than favorites.
Motto was considered winner and much
money was placed on her at odds of S25 to
SO on Niagara. The field was taken as
second choice at $50.
Ledgetrs Niagara proved to be the most
capable racing on the slippery track and
took the Dash. FliItlls, who had been
reckOned in the field. took second money
from Motto by a close finish.
Among the two-year-Olds Rey Alfonso
was named as favorite. He had an easy
race, and was only pressed by Arno. who
came in about two lengths behind. Cecil S
had been played for second place. but
seemed to be out OF his element on Slip
perry ground.
The race for ttree-year-olds and up
ward, one mile and seventy yards, was
exciting from start to finish. COnde was
thought TO be the winner and Fortuna had
considerable money behind her for second
place. Carmel was thought to have no
chance. The horses ran almost abreast
the greater part of the distance. but when
they came into the stretch Condo was
all cad about a length. Carmel was in to
stay and in the last eighth won the race.
| He had nothing TO spare, for he fms he'd
only a neck ahead of Condo.
All the interest in the one-mile race for
| three-yeaT-olds and upward cen:ered on
Garcia and Zaragoza. The former was
! the favorite with the talent and they
backed him heavily at $50, as against SIS
on Zaragoza and $50 on the field. The
horses ran almost even around the circle,
their change in positions being so small as
to be immaterial, except at the finish. On
the stretch they were together, and they
| came under the wire so close that the
| judges declared it tie. Pollasky took
third place away from Gold Dust in the
last eighth
The judges decided that Garcia and
Zaragoza should run the tie off. This was
one Of the best features of the day. The
horses were within two lengths of each
other during the whole mie and their pU-
stions interchanged frequently. Both
riders whipped with all their might on the
! homestretch. and the mud flew like dust
in a whirlwind. During the last quarter
neither had an advan tage until with few
feet of the wire, when Zaragoza made a
| yond the wire slightly in advance of Gar
cia
TIE last race, five and half furlongs,
was Pescador's. the favorite. Abb P and
| Oracle S had the best OF the race during
nearly all the distance except the last
| quarter, when Pescador began running to
| win and overlook them all. he finished
two lengths ahead of Abb P. Joe Cotton
got third place from Oracle 5, who led the
race during the first two quarters. The
time on all the running races was consid-
cred good for horses running on track
covered with mud.
