required seventeen heats to decide the five
races which were finished. and two heats were
trotted in the sixth race. which went over
on account OF darkness. Tho attendance was
the best ever seen here on a FIRST day. and It
surprised the management to see fully 5000
persons turn out after the dlsappointments OF

fact Of the soldiers being here. nearly every
State in the Union was represented. The ofi-
GERS OF the regular and volunteer army swarmed
