AT EMPIRE CITY.
NEW YORK, Sept. Five thou
sand people journeyed out to the EN-
pire City trotting track to-day and
We're rewarded with first-class sport.
The opening event was a 2:25 class
pace, for which the California gelding
Coney was the favorite at even money
He proved to be rank counterfeit, as
the bay gelding Toboggan won the
race in straight heats, with quite a lit
tie to spare, Annie Thornton driving
him out in the first heat and the brown
mare Evolute in the second.
The big race of the day was the
$4,000 Empire City purse, for 2:12 class
trotting. The crack four-year- old of
the season, Peter the Great, sold for
$50. Lord Vincent fetched the same
price, while the Grey gelding Who Is 1t
brought $50, and the balance of the
field brought the same price. Peter
the Great led the field from start to
finish in both heats, and won in ex-
cellent time.
The 2:1S trotting class had only a.
small field, and though the bay geld
ing Excel was backed at $50 to $40
against the field, it proved to be the
most prolonged contest of the day.

purse $1,000, Excel won second and
fourth heats. Time-2:10%, 2:15A.
