There was a very nervous feeling IN the
betting market previous to one race run
at 1ngleside yesterday. In the third
evant, five and half furlong dash, with
the scale of weights raised ten pounds
above the scale, were six starters. Good
Times, with 100 up, looked the most likely
of the lot, and opened up a 6 to fayorite.
The odds were no sooner posted against
Simmons than a wild rush was made to
get aboard, the price gradually dropping
from to 2 to 10 5, while the odds
against Good Times, which had Cash
Sloan up, heightened out to to 5. AS
the horses were going to the post Joe Ull-
man went down the line on Good Times,
and the wise ones concluded that the big
Chicago bettor had suddenly become
bereft of his reason. The members of the
ring also bantered Joe considerable, but
he soon turned the tables, for Good Times
proved a very gamy lobster. Catching
Simmons fifty yards from the wire, Cash
Sloan gave his mount one cut with the
whip, and, drawing away, he won cleverly
by half a length. Mr.. Ullman Will proba-
bly, do the joshing to-day when he cashes
his tickets.
Another beautiful day greeted race
goers, but the attendance looked small
when com pared with the immense throng
of the day preceding. Favorites were sue
cessful in but two instances.

The seven furlong, selling, run that fol-

good sprinter Moylan, which was played

paddock, where L. Sloan shook the favor

second choice, was g bad third.

won, but only through great effort. The

passing the stand and contrived to hold
his advantage until within few yards of
the wire, where the first choice, under
