Denny had the best of the bargain.
Colonel Zeke Abrahams thought very we'll of
his filly, City Girl, and advised his friends to
take chance. The flly's previous race was
poor one, and that of yesterday was but q
slight improvement. She did not look well
issuing from the paddock and her race plainly
showed she was "off." Some weeks ago Zeke
had quite a promising string of horses, but

Jockey Peoples, who had the mount on
Uncle Giles. The accident occurred while
the horses were at the post in the opening
race, five-furlong dash with a field of
eleven starters. While lining up at the
post the boy pulled his mount over bit
too close to suit Condo, and the chestnut
elevated his heels, one of them striking
Peoples on the right leg below the knee,
fracturing the bone, which will necessitate

weeks to come. He was replaced in the
saddle by E. Hill.
That good FLY Belle Boyd was the only
favorite to win during the day, and the
booKmakers undoubtedly experienced a
very profitable day. The big surprise of

race between them, when Mary S, a Is to l

With Heartsease prohibitive choice the
coin played in on the third race. another
five-and-a -half-furlong run, was principally

former receiving the largest proportion.
The favorite was never able to open up
much of gap of daylight between herself
and the field, and when it came to a drive
the last furlong she was beaten out neck
by Crawford, who had Fights about him in
