F0V2TU RACE

FOURTH RACE.
II would be hardihood indeed to ask
anybody to read detailed account OF
the next race. A chapter from the gem
ealogy Of Prince Kung would doubtless
have moIe interest.
Gazslls, Dariee's trotter by that good
! horse Gossiper, was the only horse in it
OF any stage OF the game. She would
get of we'll and trot squsrely and easily
around the track Galette and Nesrnut
would have q settlement Of their differ
enoes over second place, aud the tale Is
told.
| Gazelle took the first heat in 2:27, the
second in :2lA. and the third and the
race in 2 :201&. Galette was second in
the last two heats and took second
money; Neernut got the place in the
| first heat, but was beaten in the other
two.
FIFTH RACE.
The next event was fairly interest
ing trotting race for the 2:24 class,
purse $500. There we're entered Sir
Credit, by Mckinney, Flora, DagheHtan
and Emin Bey.
Flora WAS O strong favorite at 500 to Sc
for the field, and the result proved that,
as usual, the public knows a good thing
when it sees it. On the books it was l
| to 8 Flora, a, and 6 the others.
| The first heat opened with q good
start, Emin Bey having little the best
of it. Daghestan broke before he began
| to 60 around the turn, and officiated as
the little red caboose on the end of the
gravel train from that time forth. Flora
went out readily, and led all the way by
an open length. Emin Bey broke once,
but did not lose, and came In second.
| Sir Credit was a poor third. Time,
2:2021.
The second heat opened with bad
break by Daghestan, who again play cd
| bones. UP the back stretch everything
was lovely, but on the second turn Emin
| Bey made bad break, and ran all the
way down the stretch in way that
| would have done credit to Four Aces.
! Sir Credit made drive for the place,
but also broke a. the wire. For some
unexplained reason the judges gave Bsy
ths place, when to an ordinary observer
| il seemed that Sir Credit waa entitled
| to it.
Flora first, two lengths, Emin Bey
and Sir Credit on xlmoss even terms, 10
lengths. Daghsstsn. Time, 2:21.
The third Aaat, was a ballet. They
went away froni-A poor start. Sir Credit
bsing where Estee left his record.
Dsghestsn broke again at the turn and,
strange to say, Flora followed suit,
Emin Bey promptly trumped and took
trick. He led by five lengths at the
head OF the stretch, Sir Credit second,
but then Flora, who was again going
| well, struck out for home in q way that
made the Wilkes horse cut about three
seconds off his record to win. Flora
came in hard, but the big bay had too
much lead. She broke near the wire,
| and Emin took the heat in 2:211a, Flora
second, Daghestsn third.
The fourth heat cav Emin Boy get
away first. but Flora came right up.
They went up the back stretch ON even
| terms. II was pretty race, but Flora
| had little the most speed, and coming
away easily won in a jog; Emin Bey
second, length and halt back; Sir
Credit, third; Dsghestan, who had
broken again, nowhere. Time, 2:21.
Flora took first money, Emin Bey
second. Sir Credit third, Daghestan
fourth.
THE SIXTH RACE.
The last race of the day. and, Judging
from the interest taken, the most en-
joyed by the grand stand, was the gen.
tleman's road race. This was advsr-
tised as q match for gentlemen's road
horses, three in five, owners to drive to
a road cart, trotting or pacing.
Strange to say, not trotter showed
up, but all the horses which appeared
went one side at time.
]. W. Nickerson drove Dan N. f;
George W. Brown, Don; W. T. Nord-
holt, Texas; John Lewellyn, Silky, and
N. A. Covarrubias. Pat. Each man was
cheered as he came out.
The first heat commenced with good
start, after some tiddling, and all went
we'll until about opposite the betting
ring, where Covarrubias turned in for
the pole and caught Nioksrson'a sulky
wheel with his hub. Instantly there
WAS q crash, Nickerson's wheel few to
pieces, and be was thrown out with
| great violence.
to say he held on to his reins, kept his
horse, and finally got the animal by the
bits before any one could reach him.
1t was an astonishing bit of pluck and
presence OF mind. Neither horse nor
driver were injured.
Meantime Silky went out and paced
prettily along, Don second, Texas third.
with Pat last. This 10 the order they
maintained to the wire, but Texas came
in stumbling with his hohblea broken.
He was distsnced for running. Time,
1868.
The judges correctly gave Dan N.
another chance to start, although be
was tresher than the little mare who
had gone the first mile. The start was
good. Dan N, who can go mile in
something like 2:2l, had no trouble in
winning, although Silky made good
showing. Pat and Don were distanced
for running. Time. 1885.
The third heat was a repetition of the
second. The borses went evenly to the
stretch, the little Silkwood mare going
like vetersn. Inths stretch, Lewellyn
| driving like veteran, gave his horse
the whip. She stood ID we'll, and made
her legs go fast. but could not catch the
horse. who won easily. Time, 2:311%.
The race went over until today at
1890.
