As briskly as the autumn wind the
,.,rons of the race track bet their money
Yesterday. And there was good num-
Der at Alexander Island, and the racing
was correSponthugly spirited
The talent was at sea In all Dut Two
events and the way the fayorites were
moved down reminded one of the fine
qualities of an improved Mccormick har-
yester.
In the fourth event the crowd scram-
bled to the bookn . ,ers' booths as does
the average Baltimore baseball crank
rush to get a front seat on the Z5-cent
b.aclierS. Leunidas was the selection, and
when 3 to I was posted there seemed no
end of the money. The throng kept nam
mering away at the tip, a nd at post time
4 to , was hard to get. The nag won the
ract. in Il hollow canter, and the shouting
was kept up until paying off began.
Tue sixth race was great betting affatr:
Dorcas L., the gay deceiver, was rancied
by IA large NUMBER who drove her price
TO three from six, but receded again and at
post time 4 to l was the figure. Peter
Jackson, with Afford up, had his admirers,
who evidenced their faith IN the black
beasts qualities and forced his price down
to fours.
HAD THE CALL.
The Irdiannanied animal, Mohawk, had
the call and on form he looked sure winner.
He went to the post an to shot, but he
failed to land the coin, being nipped on
the rail by Forager, well backed and well
ridden by Glare.
NnIieit was Installed a red hot favorite
in the first event, which had ten starters.
He was in the race just as his namesake
fish compared with Potomac white perch.
Theresa was the good thing. NarvaeZ
took the mare out at flag fan and at the
quarter was second by neck to Phil
adelphia.
OF Two lengths in entering the stretch was
Increased to four at the wire; galopinS
easily, Owen Golden III, so to L, was sec
ha, a. W hf, -n q
the same distance before Keime, VINO
came fast at the close.
Marie Lowell was first choice in the sec
ona race, n even money. while Vent was
the idol of not few The latter's odds
were 2 to ] al post time, and the hooiiieS
did not show any willingness to take any
money at that figure.
Brooklyn opened at 4, remained at that
figure for some time, went To 6 for few
minutes, and those who had won twice in
o row on the aged animal renewed their
faith and the price went down to To
at the close.
yashburn had the mount and he held
thr horse well in hand all the way round,
neTer being farther way than a length from
the leader. Coming in the stretch Marie
LoyeIl was half a length in front, when
washburn gave Brooklyn his head and he
wen driving by good half length from
Lowell, who was two lengths in front of
{. o. ID.
Mid Rose with 100 pounds up seemed
plEuiber's bill cinch in the third event,
ana at post time the prollibitive odds of
2 10 were taken until the nag fell Lottie
+ was second choice at fiyes, while that
in-1ud-outer, A Helenbolt, was at seyens
With scarcely any takers. Lady Watson
was almost frieDdless. but her price was
teps down.
IN HIS FASTEST STRIDE.
To a fair start Morris was first away
with Lottie F., Mid Rose second and Helen
bc,, last. Dorsey soon had the latter in
his fastest stride and he landed him win
mar iu a gallon by four lengths. the fav-
orle being n length behind Lottie F.
The fourth race was an easy tnlng Tor
ehe only winning favorite Leonida. Pierce
started at flag fall and never stopped
0ran he went under the wire. Andrews
