RUNNING RACES.
A Very SMALL Field in the
Stake Event.
Kathleen, Tim Murphy, Thornhili,
Sir Reel, Nicodemus and Clara
LCoIt Won Yesterday.

The Pacific Derby, one mile and half,
for three-year-olds, one Of the stake events
of the old Blood-horse Association, brought
out another small field.
TIE home stables good colt Thornhill,
who two weeks ago put the Tidal stakes
to his owners credit, met again Yesterday
the same two horses whom he then de-
feated with such ridiculous ease and melted
out to them the same beating. He won in
the eommonest of canters, being under the
strongest kind of pull the whole of the
journey.
The handicap of a mile and furlong
was not as closely contested race as those
events have recently proved. Sir Reel was
NOT only on his good behavior yesterday and
not in one of his sulky moods, but was on
edge, and had the measure of his field be-
fore the stretch was struck.
Nick Halls Longwel was made hot
favorite for the stee plechase. being backed
down from twos to to 10, but strong tip
was abroad on Nicodemus. who opened up
in the betting at tens and went to thirtles.
but who was played so hard that at post
time he was quoted at sizes. He won IN
der drive by a length, but would have
had an easy victory had he not nearly
come to grief at second and third hurdles
the second time round.
Kathleen. Tim Murphy and Clara l. colt,
the two first named warm favOrltes, won
the three selling events.
The weather was cold and cherries, and
the attendance in consequence not quite
up to what one expects TO see on OaIur-
day.
The track was dead and slow.
President Williams is slowly recoveriD e
from his long and serious illness, and may
be expected to be seen out the coming week.
The following are the summaries:
