Perfect Weather, a Fast Track, and
Excellent Speed Contests-Vhe Re-
suits ia Detail.
The racing yesterday was excellent.
1t was good day for field bets. The
fayorite won in the first race, but the
2:23 trCt and 2:17 pace VENT to out
siders. The track was in excellent con-
dition, and was very fast. a very large
crowd witnessed the sport. The grand
stand was filled and there was a deep
fringe of humanity all around the track.
The final heat of the 2:17 pace was fin
ished about $50 O'Clock, so that there
are not as yet any unfinished races.
The 2:aO Pace.
This race was won early by P. s.
Conn, who was almost a prohibitive
favorite in the betting, most of the mon
ey being laid on horses for place. Conn
took the first, second and fourth heats
as he pleased. He behaved very badly
in the third heat and his driver found it
difficult to keep within the flag at the
finish. All the starts were prompt and
the racing was good.
First heat-P. B. Conn was a prime
favorite at the pool boxes, and justified
the confidence OF the betting fraternity
fhe big field of starters resulted in con-
siderable vase of time in scoring. When
they finally got off p B. Conn went to
the front on the first half, and MAIN
tanned his lead without much difficulty
to the finish, Black Queen second, Gold
Crown third. Time, 2:17A.
Second heat-The ease with which
Conn won the first heat made him an
almost prohibitive favorite in the sec
ond. He sold at 8 to 10 and 2 to 5, and
most Of the betting was for place. The
start was prompt and good. For three
quarters it was a very pretty race be-
tween Conn and Black Queen. Then
the latter fell back and at the finish was
three lengths behind, Bessie Williams
making a squirt for second place and
finishing a half length after Black
Queen. Time. 2:a9.
Third heat-P. B. Conn sold at to 10,
and the field at to 2. Conn broke
badly on the first quarter and fell away
back to the rear, losing all chance for
the heat. Bessie Williams and Black
Queen led the remaining horses and the
race was very pretty. with Conn strug-
Cling in the rear to get within the flag.
Ethel Eakin suddenly spurted UP from
fifth place and in driving finish cross
ed the line length in front of Bessie
Williams, who was length and a half
ahead of Black Queen. Time, 2:23s4.
Fourth heat-This was the prettiest
heat Of the race. P. B. Conn sold a
strong fayorite again, in sp-.e OF his bad
behavior in the previous heat. Bessie
Williams set the pace for tho first quar-
ter, with Conn coming along nicely in
fifth place half dozen length in the
rear, and gradually closing up the dis
lance. Going up the back stretch the
second time Conn easily shot to the
front and at the quarter pole led by
several lengths, while Black Queen and
Bessie Williams were both distressed

heats kept the talent guessing. but
the knowing ones backed Molo heaY-
lily in the final heats.
Firt Heat-Nellie Emmett was a
strong favorite in the betting and Molo
was backed heavily for place. At the
word Molo brought up the rear, but
passed all the Others and was two
lengths behind ellie Emmett at the
half. his position was maintained I'M
til after the third quarter, when Molo' S
driver urged her, and within twenty
yards Of the wire Nellie broke, allow
ing Molo to finish first by length and
a half. Time
Second Heat-Nellie Emmett sold at
4 to and Molo at even money. Nell
lie secured the advantage of the start,
and at the half led the procession by
several lengths, with some of the
horses behaving very badly. The in
terest in the race was centered in the
contest for second place, until on en-
tering the stretch Molo was driven
hard, and was going fast, but broke
within 20 feet Of the wire. Nellie En-
NETT winning by a length, Tim Spank
er third. Time 2:21.
Third heat-Nellie Emmett sold ia
vorite at 2 to 3, but a great many
liked Molo at even money. The start
was good, but at the quarter pole it
was a procession, Nellie leading, Tim
Spanker bringing up the rear ten
lengths behind. 1t was driving finish,
Blanche K coming under the Wire
first by half length after magniti-
cent squirt, and Thelka beating out
Molo for place by head. Time 2:21A.
Fourth Heat-The results of proceed
ing heats kept the talent guessing this
time, and the boxes handled consid-
cradle sum on this heat. Molo was a
slight favorite, selling at 70 j. Nellie
Emmett was drawn, leaving five start
ers. After scoring several times they
got away with Blanche K. in the lead,
the distance being increased to two
lengths at the quarter pole. Molo was
second at the half, Tim Spanker bring
ing up the rear. Molo closed up the
gap going up the back stretch. and
Guaran,or also got UP with the leaders,

Early Ill &he afternoon = big crowd
collected out In die enclosure, watching
the preparations for the balloon aaceu-
sion. The big bag Of canvass was
gradually inflated, and, a. as sadee
spread out, the crowd Increased Aoout
eour O'Clock . pistol shot Vas heard.
and 4 moment later the balloon LETT rs
moorings and shot upward with the
aerouaut clinging to the parachute
homes. When up some distance. the
aeronaut hung BY his toes to the trap
eye. and this very daring act Was
watched with breathless interest by the
multitude on the grounds and through
sout the city and vicinity, as well.
The balloon assembled slowly, gradu-
ally moving toward the east untn Sne
parachute was detached. When the
parachute opened, the balloon turned
over. the smoke escaped, and 1t came
down rapidly. The parachute descend
ed moe gradually. the aeronaut alight-
ing hack of the hills at some pointOuf
CaldwelPs Run. The ascension was
very successful, and everybody was
pleased.
The cake walk took place between
three and four o'clock on the track IN
front of the grandstand. The services
of several officers were required to keep
the crowd from encroaehing on the
space reserved for the walkers. The
Opera House band rendered the very
spirited selection, Jasper jenkins, the
Cake Walk Coon
Five couples participated In the walk,
and it was led by the inimitable Arch
johnson. The men were attired IN
light weight, fancy striped suits and
presented really Eatty appearance.
There were no special costumes for the
women. The antics of the dusky bellies
and beaux cannot be described. They
executed all sorts of fantastic move
ments, each giving different figure,
and each couple endeavofing to Guido
all the Others. 1t was interesting, ana
the crowd heartily applauded, especial
ly its favorite couples. It was an ex-
cellent special feature, and will afford
food for talk by the country folk for
many weeks to come.

Association in very good humor The

1900 innovations, was justified. Two
days remain. This is the big day of
the Fair, Tomorrow will be children's
day. II the fair weather continues, 1900
will be a red letter year.
The crowd yesterday was remark
able. The official figures, which are
approximately correct. fixed the at
tendance for the day at $4,000, incluG-
Ing 5000 paid admissions in the eve
ming. The city was thronged with
strangers. Each incoming train over
the different roads augmented the null
titude The street railway service was
admirable. The B. & o. runs "all
trains via Washington" and yesterday
the wheeling Railway Company run
all cars via the fair grounds. No de-
lay was occasioned in reaching or de-
parting from the grounds, and nearly
all the cars during the afternoon and
evening were crowded. The railway
company reaped veritable harvest of
nickles
Regular patrons of the Association
were delighted with this years fair.

scale than heretofore. The crowds

The 2;I7 Pace.
This was one of the best races on the
card for the afternoon, although it Fas
won by Ida K, in straight heats. The
winning horse was the favorite after
the first heat, and set a pace which was
simply too fast for the field. Black
Cecirs sulky was broken down at the
finish of both the second and third
heats, but driver Walters escaped in
jury.
First heat-This was very pretty, and
it looked like anybody's race for most
