THE SECOND RACE.
This field proved difficult to start, but
when IL did so 1t was a beauty Bird
Eye was the favorite. with Earth Lily
second choice. The latter had all the
advantage at the wire but could not
keep her feet, and before the quarter
was reached was several yards behind the
field. 1t was close money on Bird Eye
and J. r., and the winner couldn't
be picked until the three-quarters had
been reached. when Bird Eye forged
ahead and got there by length, with
Lulie l.. and Loudoun husiling for place.
The former barely got it.
The second heat showed that j. r..
and Bird Eye were evenly matched, and
The start was little ragged. but when
the quarter had been passed the winners
were easy 10 pick. Bird Eye crawled
away from the field. and left j. X. and
Lulie l.. 10 fight for second place. Bird
Eye won in canter, but there was a
close trot for places, which resulted in
j. II. and Lulie l.. getting second and
third. respectively.
- Ella Moore came TO the front in the
third heat. She had slight advantage
at the start. which she maintained TO
the end. allowing only Bird Eye to pass
her. 1t was a close fight between Ella

THE THIRD RACE.
The original card for the third race
was heavily scratched. but three of the
eight entries showing up 1T the wire.
in the first heat 1t was very close be-
tween Niccoli and Little Jim. Mildred
lost her legs at the start, and was dis
ianced so the race boiled down TO a fight
between the two Baltimore nags Little
Jim was the favoritc at the jump. and
heavy odds were going on him. In the
first half II looked like Niccon but
Little Jim gradually took the lead, which
he held. In the second Niccoli started
I'm to win, but his skates wouldn't work
on the first quarter. and before he got
under control, Little jim had said fare
well. and he won in a canter
The third heat was quite interesting.
Both horses were neck and neck for a
greater part OF the mile. but Little Jim
eased on on the quarter. and won by
half length. Summaries:
