THIRD RACE.
The running event OF the day was a
selling race f,r oil ages. seven. eighths OF
mile. There WAS big field. with the
exception OF the speedy Pescador mostly
of very ordinary horses. Pescsdor had
nothing in the liet that ought, oven with
hie impost of 122 pounds, to make him
extend hmself. When, therefore, at
the beginning of the pool selling, he
went back to S25 while the field sold at
$50, Starter Benjamin and Judge Newton

mount on Pescadar. When the saddliug
bell rang Long WAS set down and Spence

other in their anxiety to get in on the
new deal. Psseador promptly went to
$40. the field to $22.
The horses got away well, with Ali
Baba in the lead, Pescador second. the
rest bu,.ched. Pascedor was fully q
length ahead all the way up the
back stretch, and around the turn he
held this advantage easily, the others
strung out like the cars Of a freight train

stretch Lottie L. improved her position,
and at the last sixteenth passed Ali
Babn. bat could not trouble Psscador.
The finish was easy. Psscador first by a
length. Lottie L. second. Ali Baba third,
Two Cheers fourth, while the much
fsucieds Bessie Briggs WAS back in the
alfalfa. 1t was great betting event,
but owing to the break up OF the sup,
posed job, nobody made much. The
winner was bought in at $l305 by his
owner. Time, :2S1a.
FOURTH RACE.
The grea. race OF the day, and one
may almost say of the year, was the
2:17 olaes trot, which came next ON the
programme.
It brought out field that would be
hard to beat on any track. Waylsnd
w. was made q favorte at the pool
boxes. selling at s25 to 50 for Altao, and
the field So.
Irene Crocker drew the pole, Way
land W. came next, Adelaide Simmons
third, Altso fourth, and Wiles on the
outside.
The quntette went away from good
start after a few scores, Wayland w.
leading. At the turn Wsyland w. led,
with the speedy Wiles second, Altso
third. Crockor was in the air and loet
seven lengths. Up ths back stretch
Simmons made strong bid, but could
not beat Gensral Wiles even. They fin

an open length. Wiles second, Simmons
third, and Altso fourth; time, 2:l7a.
The second heat was the senaation Of
che day. Simmons delayed the start
and, consequently, was given the woret
,fit. WayIand w. went out rapidly and
vas never headed. General Wiles made
gallant attempt, but was not equal to
ihe task. Altao broks seveIsl times,
but with remarkable quickness caught
his feet and lost nothing. He was
second at the half and kept the place in
spite Of Simmons. who wanted il badly.
The tri0Sceme down the stretch at
splendid pace, Way land W, evidently
not worrying himeelf much, for he did
Got even feel the whip. He came under
~ae wire trotting easily, with Altao
fecond half a length away, and Simmons
third two lengths back, Wilcs and
Crocker far behind.
The pace had been 40 easy for Wayland
w. that none but those who had timed
the heat suspected the time to be the
remarkable record that it was, and when
2:i3 waaihung ont it was great sur
prise. paf
The time makes new track record,
taking hall second off, and if Wavland
w. ha0 been pushed out il might have
been second and half off.
The third heat. although not go fast,
WAS more exciting. Crocker and Sim
mons got the worst OF the start. the lat
ter being length back. 1t was Way.
