fora MS sire, MI W. WOlters Ii the
owner Of Royalist aud received
numerous congratulations on his
latest purchase.
Fifth Race-One mile dash for BIZ
cycle amateurs. Ludloff, Williams,
King and H. Giles started. The
time to be beaten was 2:45. King
won in 2:41 | 5 with Ludloff close
second.
Sixth Race-Three. quarters mile
dash, free for all. This race would
have been interesting, but the with
drawal Of Magnet from the one mile
race, which was the draw card of
the meeting had created Klondyke
feeling in the audience, and even
the "sure thing" men showed no in
terest in the race. Magnet won the
race in 1:17a with Sympathetic Last
second, and Royalist third.
Seventh Race One mile heats,
free for all trotting and pacing, best
three in Eve. Creole, Telephone and
Wela- Ka- Hao started. Creole had
many friends,but upon the appear
ance of the we'll known horse it was
evident to his admirers, that he was
in no condition to try issues with
Wela. Ka- Hao, the handsomest race
horse ever seen on the track. The
horse got to the scratch, and Creole
showed his old pluck, winning the
first heat, Wela-Ka- Hao being some
what nervous and fidgetty and evil
IDENTIFY trying to get rid of his sea
legs and get on his seven miles
boots. Telephone, a young black
mare, made very good impression,
but even her owner j. A. Mcdonald
did not expect her to answer the
"hello" call, when the other old
stagers rang the bell. The next
three heats were easily won by
Wela-Ka-Hao. The time being 1888,
2:34 and 2:37 4 5 respectively. Mr..
Cunningham is to be congratulated
on his magnificent animal. 1t may
he mentioned, however, that Creole
was not at all in proper shape being
too fat and underworked. On the
Eleventh OF June different tale
may be unfolded.
Eighth Race, running mile dash.
Hero came the disappointment Of
the day to the public, and a justi-
fable kick should be entered against
the parties who apparently cannot
go into horse racing, except for the
purpose of swindling their fellow
men. 1t is pity that such charac-
ters cannot be kicked off the track,
and be branded as contemplate
schemers and boycotted in every en-
terprise or business into which they
may eater in this city. The town
will soon be too warm to hold
creatures OF that caliber, and it is q
pitiful shame that the noblest of all
sports should be crippled by a
clique of INSCRIPTIONS scoundrels.
There was very heavy betting on
the eighth race and great interest
was taken in it by everybody. For
reasons which ought to be publicly
explained, Magnet was withdrawn
on Saturday morning, bets can
celled, and as consequence num-
Der of people staid away from the
track. The Jockey Club has no
jurisdiction in this matter, as has
been suggested by some members OF
that association, who wish the Club
to interfere, but we cannot see any
reason why the association having
charge of Saturdays races should
not appoint committee to thor
oughly investigate and expose the
Sob" which caused the withdrawal
OF the best race from the program
Ninth Race-2:30 class for trot-
tiers and PAGERS, mile heats 2 in B.
Directress and Watermelon Joe
started, Violin had enough and
looked for her "bow" at home
Watermelon Joe was in good form
and got his revenge on Direotress,
which beat him last year, by win,
ming the race Time, 2:44 1-5.
Tenth Race--Gentlemen's driving
race for road horses. Quinn and
Hollinger started their celebrated
roadsters, and Hollinger returned
to the wire after an excursion last
ing 300.
The audience knowing the speed
OF the horses we're wondering whe
Their the drivers had started talking
politics after passing the half-milt
, post, or whether Tom was suggest
