A HARD STRUGGLE.

Beach yesterday afternoon to SEQ the fifth days
programme run Off over a fairly good track, which
showed scarcely any signs of the recent storm
and gave promise Of becoming remarkably fast
when 1t has thoroughly settled. There wero no
stake features on the card, but Mr.. Sass gave q
programme which kept the spectators inter
ested from first to last.
Estaca found another soft spot in the opening
dash at a mile, and Pat Dunne's good colt was q
prohibitivo favorite In the SPECULATION. Thorpe
took the track with him at Tho start and won
all tho way. Rifle was an easy second. Flames
was out of place, aud is apparently one Of the
worst horses in training. He is out OF a daughter
OF that great old mare, Explosion, the dam Of
Dewdrop. but he doesn't race any the better for
It The California two-ycar-old Michael III.
and Demagogue were the ~tonweights in tho
handicap at six furlongs. The talent made the
former q o to 5 ~fayorite, but he lost TO Nuto by
q short head. Nuto got away In front, and
Thorpe had to go around his field on tho upper
turn with the favorite. This cost him the race,
as Nuto. in q hard drive. won by . short head.
Demagogue was q fair third. Michael Ill. runs
and looks like Q high-class colt. He is by
the imported horse Islington, out Of Jessie
O., and is the property Of w. M. Murry, who
trains for Edward w. Purser's Cambridge
Stable.
A round dozen went to tho post for tho handi-
cap at seven furlongs. with Brandy vino and
Cleophus dual f~ayorites Mt 1 to /. Divide, Cash
Day, and The Swain came In for moro support
than any OF the others. Brandywine got away
In front and made the running until we'll into
the stretch. where Van Keuren got up with The
Swain. Then Br~andywine stopped, leaving the
angular son OF Galore to win handiiy. Taral
punched Brandy wine out In second place, q
length before Cieophus. who only beat Caldron
N had - tha lasr nj rtlo 10. tL;.l ,.1-ou De-.
fort showed q lot of speed and will win in his
own class.
That sterling platter Dolando. favorite at odds
on for the selling race at a mile. won handsome
ly. Sloan let Domitor, Cromwell and wolhurst
run like q team, until the stretch was reached.
Then he sent Dolando along. and the gclding
raced for perhaps q hundred yards. He was
then throe lengths before tho Held, and, drop
ping his hands on the favorite, Dolando galloped
homo a very easy winner in the remarkably good
time OF 1:AlA. Cromwell. in a hard drive. beat
wolhurst q head for second money.
Sly Fox. the fayorite, won the fifth race, q
selling event at five f%urlougs, ridden by Fred
u tast . ,,I ne hs was s, away W In The van but tried
whipped over the. side Of the head before he
Soula run straight. Danforth was second and
frank o,Tesry's skull; The Jockeys scalp was va
chief about the wound. The boy pluckily rode
the race out and finished third on Storm Queen.
Belmar and Bastion were the only starters In
the concluding dash, az one mile and q sixteenth.
Of course, Belmar won in slow time. Summary
