and pacing race. Violin won the first

Cassimir prince David and Parker Sta
bles). Gartelene CIV. H. CornwelD and
starters. Gartelene won in 1:16 fiat, af-
ter some hard contrasting before the fin

before a decision was reached. 1t was
a mile and a half dash for the Criterion
cup and $3.50, the cup having been put
up by Col. Charles Mccarthy, to be won
around. Everett was easily the better
2:47, with General Cronje second, after
the latter had stayed far behind during
most of the race and tried hard to take
the lead during the last half of the run
There was some scrapping among the
Jockeys on the way round, but the
judges overlooked it, as it was not Sc
rious. Cunningham made a protest
against the jockey who rode Weller or
the ground that the young man had
been ruled off the track in California
and had not been reinstated. The Judg-
! es announced Weller as the winner
under protest" but after more discus
sion, Cunningham withdrew his protest
and Weller was given the stakes.
The consolation race closed the pro
gram for the day. General Cronje, Ev'
erett and Allegro entered. 1t was
one-mile dash, entries to be made at the
post, for $3.50. Everett had not mucf
difficulty in winning, though Allegro
pressed three-quarters of the way
around Everett was easily the better
animal when the finish came, however
and Cronje was not to be considered a
any part of the race. The time was
1:4S.
The season will close on Thursday
when there will be a program of sever
races Entries are now being made
The list will be a good one, and Their
will undoubtedly be another larg'
crowd at the track, to see the last of tn
very successful season of 1900.
