The races yesterday may be taken as
a fair sample of the speed contests of
the week. The field of starters was re-
markably large. and all the horses
we're driven to win.
There were very few people on the
grounds in the morning. but the crowd
made It's appearance in the early af-
ternoon, and was augmented by all
the cars, yachts and boats. which
hauled passengers for the big show.
These were probably 1000 or $500 peo-
pie in the grand stand and quarter
stretch during the races, and twice as
many mors in other portions of the en-
closure.
The races to-day should prove a big
drawing card. The unfinished 2:16

for the afternoon. In addition to the
regular races for the day the 2:24 pace
will be contested. 1t was postponed
