see where they had been sending their half
dollars by the messengers. Perhaps II was
course attendshce their first shyness had
vanished. AT any rate the ladies'
were there, not in the crush
of would he speculators, but just on the
outside where they could see fists full OF
bills stuck up here and there In the crowd
and hear the impatient calls OF the
"bookies" for takers. This new presence
was the feature of the day. The crowd
was larger than on any day since the
opening, and, II possible, was representa-.
was just such crowd as would
be found on Lincoln Field
for a Brown Harvard ball game. And
the venders adapted their wares to the
purchasers. Instead OF bringing peanuts
at five-a-b bag, they offered Huyiers at
dollar a box and it found a ready sale.
The first race was six furlongs Tor
purse of S276. Six horses came To the pole
and George Dixon, with Tracey. up, was
hot favorite at A To B, and handily won
the race in III. Ellen III. and Mcintyre
were second and third. Ellen had been
backed heavily for place and the book
makers were obliged TO cash good many
OF her tickets at the rate OF to 1. 1t was
good beginning for the talent and luck
ran that way for the rest OF the afternoon.
The finish of the second race was the
best exhibition of fast riding In
tight place given for the day.
Lafayette had been first favorite, selling
from 8 to at the opening of the pool, TO
even money at the close. Watch charm
wasn't so well thought of and sold at Ito
8, but their positions on the boards were
reversed on the track after the flag fell.
1t was a mile race. Watch Charm got the
inside at the start and at no time
did she lose her lead, although
lar little jockey, Lew, had to use
both arms and both legs to get his horse
under the wire ahead OF Lafayette, who
was beaten by nose. Lantern was third
horse. Watch Charm was :46.
On the result of tho third race the talent
was just a little out in the cold. They
had backed Grellan SO heavily to win that
the bookmakers got scared and
scratched her 10 minutes before the
start. But Grellan's speed had been over
Lodi with Ballard up, who had sold as
second favorite at IL to 10, was the winner,
covering the five furlongs in l:O3.
Tho fourth event was won by u. w.
Newton's Marshall, who had sold at to 3:
Mary s., who had won the good Will OF
the crowd in one of Wednesdays races.
was played for place and got IL, having
led at outset and making gallant fight
for first money in the quarter stretch.
In the fifth Watch Charm was scratched,
leaving the honors to Berwyn and Billy >.
These two favorites each sold at even
money, while the other horses were long
shots. Berwyn won the race without
much difficulty, and Billy was length
behind.
samantha, with an s7-pound jockey,
who knew enough TO rest his horse dur
ing q dozen Intellectual attempts to
start won the sixth race OF i've.
furlongs In 1:04. King Hazem, 20 to
shot, was second, and Fan King, former
favorite, third. Some one had circulated
the report that Little Monarch would win
the sixth race, and that mysterious some
one was quite generally believed by people,
who bet accordingly, but the gray was
fourth at the finish.
The last event, a steeplechase OF the
Agawam Hunt Club, was poser for the
bookmakers. They had never heard OF
the horses, and for the sake OF keeping in
the game offered even money on the Held
for a starter, and then raised to to on
everyt hing but Emin, who assumed the
position of favorite at s to 8. Harry led
the bunch unttf the first two hurdles had
been taken then be dropped back to
second place, which he held until the
horses went from the field to the track.
There he was passed by Pansy
Mrs. Harry Aliens Dorothy, who had been
the last to get off, took the LEAD and was
an easy winner. Pansy Blossom ridden
by Mr.. Narwig was second. Orange Boy
dropped out at the third jump.
