TUESDAYS RACES.
The first race of the day was three
eighths heats, two in three, and the
entries we're Red S, Lark and Pinear.
In the first heat the horses got an
elegant start, all going away from the
poll in a bunch, and kept in that posi-
tion until near the wire, when Pinear
forged to the front, Red S coming
under the wire second and Lark third;
time SO, lowering the track record one
second.
When the horses were called on the
track for the second time they all
looked perfect racers. After some
difficulty they were stapped off, Red S.
leading, followed closely by Lark and
with daylight between him and Pinear,
Ere the first turn was reached Pinear
had closed up. the gap, and when the
horses enterod the home stretch they
could have been covered with blan-
ket. Though Pinear made another
hard brush, and came under the wire a
neck ahead, Lark second; time 36i.
The A. furlongs handicap today,
for 2-year olds, the second race of the
fair, was indeed a pretty one, and re-
suited in fine trial of speed. The
entries were Latah, of the Wasco
stable, Harry N. entered by A. Neal,
Mamie D, entered by T. Driver, Sur
prise, entered by w. Swift. Latah
was favorite in the pools, Hurry N.
second, while the othertwO sold in the
field. The ''talent" seemed to have
Judged the outcome Alright, as Latah
won by neck, time 3S.
WEDNESDAYS RACES.
The three-eie hths race yesterday
was an exciting one, and was pro-
nounced by many the best so far OF
the season. The entries were Prince, {
Baby Ruth, Colonel f and General
Coxey. The horses were given a /
pretty start, and from the first it was
evident the contest was between the /
colonel and the general, and both /
Ioug ht gallantly for vantage ground,
put the general was hardly match for /
,he colonel, and though making
good second, lacked almost length of
first place, while Baby Ruth
made good third and Prince brought
Up the rear. The race was run in 44i,
which was pretty fair time, though not
/ record breaker.
