was too lame. to appear. it was declared
OF
The second event-2:24 class, trotting,
stake SS00-had eight entries. ana was
fraught with considera BILE incident

lie could do i'll the other three wa make
three consecutive seconds to the same
number of irsts by Ollie b.. A. S. Gu
nards bay mare, L splendid creature,
with speed, nerve, anu s;eadiness. The
other three entries after the first heat
were hardly IN 1t with the leaders, and
though Iasco finished second in the first
she fell back to fifth place in the next
two.
From the spectators point of view the
running race, three-quarter heats, was
the brilliant event of the day. There
were four entries. With a splendid start
the hrst heat was one OF the prcttieSt
ever witnessed i'll this State or any
other. For the first quarter and a half
.hc horses were well punched with Dr.
Jones holding the lead he had obtained
at Tie start by about a length; CHS
wick. the favor.te of the day before at
his flank. while Unlucky and st. Vim
cent were paired Il few feet behind
After about two-thirds of the distance
had been passed. Chiswick began to
creep up on the leader inch by inch, I'M
I'll al the half mile post his nose touched
the Doctors shoulder. y great cheer
went up from the threats OF the multi
tude, as the two brave horses rounded
the turn and came in on the home
stretch. Chiswcl slowly but steadily
gaining. and the two passed under the
wire with Jones only Il half Il head In
front.
The next heat was not SO thrilling,
the horses getting a Very poor start
and Ii being too dark to distinguish .he
colors cf the jockeys. Chiswick obt aimed
handsome lead at the post, and held
1t throughout, finishing over Il length
and half ahead OF DIR. Jones. who had
started last. The deciding heat is an
nounced 10 be run off to-day at noon
