the maj DAY racing Oh Tie Mliilic-
haha Driving club amidships, and
prevented 5000 people from seeing
Robert J go against time, for when
the shower was done the track was
as we'll fitted for swimming as for
trotting trials.
The same condition prevented w.
e. Becker and his bicycle from COM
peting with FairWood, the Derby
winner.
Fortunately Hal Pointer succeeded
in getting in his exhibition mile and
the high-class racing programme
was pretty well run through with.
All but one race would have been
finished but for a rafting mix-up
in the 2:23 trot, when King jPrin-
cops, Abbadonne and Allie Gee each
insisted on taking a heat, and the
order was being mixed up every
time.
The track was literally af1oat,
however, and after waiting half an
hour for developments it was an
nounced by the judges that the mon
eys in the unfinished races would be
awarded as per the summaries of
the heats finished
This was generally satisfactory,
and it was also announced that the
next meeting of the club would be
held in July, 1896, in the week CORE
spending to the one just closed.
! There would be a $4,000 Derby and
| other events, as in the meeting just
finished.
One feature of the meeting just
closed which deserves commenda-
| ton is the street car service which
has been given the patrons of the
meeting. With the exception of
| Monday night, when through a mis-
| understanding the special train serv-
ice was called in Immediately follow
| ing the Derby, and before the other
races were finished, the accommoda-
| tons have been excellent.
The meeting which closed last
night was undoubtedly the best seen
here or elsewhere in many years
Certainly it is a long time since the
| Northwest turf has borne at one
time such goers as Fantasy, Direc-
tum, Hal Pointer, Robert J, Ken
! lucky Union, David B, Nightingale
| and FairywoOd. And the events in
| the various classes were all well
! contested. No winner had an easy
| time of it, but had to show his best
blood first last and all the time.

There was a close finish for second
place, Kate Caffrey taking it from
Queen Alfred. Charming Chimes was
fourth, Drum Major fifth and Jer-

Silena F had it all her own way in

trifle the worst of the start, but
Campbell gave the sign and McCar-
thy sent them off. Silena f led at
the turn, Kate Caffrey second and
Campbell close up. At the quarter
it was the same, but before reaching
the half the Texas mare passed Kate.
Geers did better with Charming
Chimes, this time keeping the place
