The most perfect racing day of the sea-
son drew the largest crowd yet seen to
the gates of the Virginia Jockey Club. The
| grand stand was better filled than usual, q
large delegation OF the fairsex being present.
Owing to the backward season the races
have not as yet been very well filled. Yes
terday's card was the best yet presented
all the races, with the exception OF the
| fourth, being just about the right size.
Fitzgerald did very good work with the
/ flag, sending all OF his fields off in good
order. He was a little too careful in the
first event and kept them at the post
! over half an hour
| Two horses Were withdrawn after going
! to the post. Luckily both of them were long
| shots. Leonidas, two-year-old, was the
! first offender. He was ridden by a dimin-
! utive pickaninny named George Washing
| ton, who could not control him. In one
OF the breaks Leonidas reared up and un-
seated the little fellow. He was not much
| hurt and walked back to the paddock.
4 The colt was caught after running a half
! mile.
RAN THREE MILES.
The other horse to he Withdrawn was
Bound Brook. He seemed to be feeling
his oats in great shape, and getting away
! from j. Shields, who was riding him, ne
came by the grand stand like a whiTlwiHd
| The boy did not have the strength to pun
| him up, and he made the circuit OF the
track three times before he stopped Of
nis own accord. When they went back
to the stable both boy and horse were
/ pretty Wen tucked.
J. J. MeCafferty was the lucky man Of
the day, he winning two races, the third
and fourth, and coming very close TO
getting the second.
What looked very much like a foul oc-
cured in the third race. Tuscan went to
the post a prohibitlye favorite at 2 to .,
with Sunup second choice at to J.
The latter went out in front at flag fall
and stayed there until well into the stretch,
where Nacey brought Tuscan up and headed
him. Maldonadq wentto thewhipon Sunup
and getting in front, bore in ON Tuscan,
who was on tEe inside, compelling him TO
pun up or go over the fence.
CLAIMED A FOUL.
After weighing out Macy went up in
the judges stand and made claim
Of foul. A few minutes of suspense fol-
lowed and when sunup's number ran up
cheer burst forth from the McCafferty
follow ers. 'whiie the Tuscan fact ion
gave deep gTaan and sadly destroyed
their tickets. .sss
In the first event at seven furlongs,
Solitaire was heavily played to- leat
Pay or bay The er, however,
received the better part OF the support and
closed favorite at 6 to ., while Sol taire
receded q point from his opening price OF
z to 3.
At the start Solitaire showed in going
| past the stand, but quickly gave way to
| Gold Dollar, who rushed cut and opened
| up a gap OF two lengths. The latter could
not stand the pace, and swinging into
the stretch, Pay or Play forged 10 the
| front, and, coming on, won haEdily by
| two lengths. Solitaire was second, with
Nockbarren third.
The ncayy handicap was thought to be
| n good thing for Weinberg. notwithstanding
the fact that be and Capt. Brown were at
top weights with 100 poundsup. Heopened
| at to 3 ard closed at even money, with
| Capt. Brown second choice at to 2.
WERNBERG ALL THE WAY.
To good start Doggett rushed Weinberg
out in front and it was all over but the
shouting, he leading by from four to six
| lengths and winning easily from Buckerene.
Capt Brown was poor third after run
ming second nearly the whole distance.
In the half-mile sprint for O-year-olds
| Cadiz was touted all over the ring as sure
winner. He opened at z to ., but was
steadily played, and closed at to .. A
! good deal of money went in on Religion, who
| closed at to 2
| Lamly had Lady Lawrence out in front
/ all the way, and fifty yards from the
! finish looked winner al over. At this
! juncture Rieff made his move on Religion,
/ who responded with q phenomenal burst
| of speed, and in a driving finish won by u
short head. LSdy Lawrence was second,
a length in front of the favorite, Cadiz.
! After Bound Brook had run away three
miles, and been withdrawn, Fitzgerald sent
them off well lined up. Lady Adams
piloted the way for a short distance, but
soon gave way to Plenty, who went out in
! front and was never headed, winning easily
| by q length and half. Kiikenney, Sc
| cured second money from Canvas, who
ran a poor race.
A maiden event for all ages, at five
furlongs, brought together poor lot
of selling platers. Founding, on his
race on Monday, was made an odds on
favorite, closing at to 10. Cuckoo
had second call at 9 to 2.
Founding took the lead at flag fall, and
opening up big gap, romped in an easy
winner. Cuckoo kept UP the procession,
beating Campayne three lengths, for Sec
ond money.
