In frequency and IN force until ALONG
toward dark when they merged into

do so removed their exhibits and started
Tor home by the time dinner was over.

THE RACES.
The attendance In the afternoon was
very slim on account of the dark clouds
that were rolling up from the south and
the frequent spatters Of rain that-came
down with increasing frequency. Some
OF the men having horses entered for the
afternoon races did not put in an ap
pearance and others declined to start, so
that both races that were on the car !
were declared off. In order not to dis
appoint those who had come out to the
park, two fields of horses were made up
from the same classes as those original
Iy advertised and they were tretted
through to conclusion,
The track officials were the same as
on the preceding day and the races were
full of interest. In fact the first heat of
the 33 class was one of those rare
contests in which there was no winner,
the two leading horses coming in just
neck and neck amid great excitement. |
Dead heats used to be common years ago,
but nowadays since bicycle sulkies and
other speed inducing devices have come
to be in general use they are few and far
between and those who are present at a /
meet where two horses keep company |
all around the track lay it up In their
memories for long time.
