The feature of to-day's card was tn
fourth race, an all-age affair, in which
some of the best horses of the tract
were entered. The pride of the pleas
ant Valley stable, the chestnut horse
Baritone H., and John McCauley's
crack, Oracle, the best horse ever run or
an outlaw track, and Underwood's game
three-year old colt Monroe Doctrine.
The start was good one. Oracle and
Baritone II. started off at a hot pace and
outr,ln their field, opening gap of five
lengths over Monroe and Charlie Wells.
1t was very plain half way down the
back stretch that Baritone II. had
enough, and Oracle had a clear lead OF
two lengths when entering the stretch.
Monroe Doctrine and Charles Wells
were having hot fight to see who would
retain third position. Mcintyre had a
slight advantage making the turn off the
back stretch, and it appeared to many
as though he crowded Narvaez, who fell
back length. Oracle was winning
easily, and Baritone was getting very
tired, and it looked as though Charlie
Wells had the place, when the game son
OF Tristan came to battle again with
Loyn's pet, and received the verdict by
neck. Narvaez was suspended for the
meeting for disobedience at the post.
