 It is safe to assert that Charter Oak park never appeared more attractive than it did on Saturday, when three regular races and the big trotting match were decided. The abundant rains had kept the luxurious growth Of grass in a beautiful green verdure' while the many Towering plants show ed their prettiest blossoms for the occa- sion Evidently the expense has not been considered in the care of the park. A very fashionable audience occupied seats in the private boxes and in the grandstand, where stylish girls and well dressed women were numerous, while thousands of men rubbed elbows on the quarter-stretch.
 On the programme of the day were three races, which are described by the summaries. Tn the 2:09 pace Sphinx 5. was in the hands of George w. Spear, formerly employed by the Hubingers. The undefeated Joe Pointer won three heats in the race, but was not awarded the second heat, as the judges charged him with a sWerve in the stretch. | In the next race Annie Leyburn won second money. She won the fast race last fall at L. A. Fisk's parlor track. The principal attraction at the park was the big match race between the l trotters Lord Derby, 2:061a, and Boral- ma, 2:07. Like many other matches made in the winter-time, so long before the racing season, the contest was dis appointing. While the first two heats were evidently satisfactory to major ] ity of the spectators, the race was aban- doned in the third heat by the driver or MT Lawson's horse.
 Lord Derby was foaled in 1895 at the Hamlins' stock farm near Buffalo, N Y, and sired by Mambrino King-dam Claribel, by Almont, jr. The trotter was developed by E. F. Geers, for many years the big-salaried trainer for Ham, lin & Son. George w. Spear has trained the trotter this season.
 T. w, Lawson's trotter Boralma Is a
 chestnut gelding, foaled in 1896, and
 bred by Scott Newman, of Louisville
 Kv. His sire was Boreal, 2:15%, sor
 of Bow Bells, who is full brother tc
 Chimes, the sire of the Abbot. Boral-
 mas dam was Earlama, by Earl, sor
 of Princeps, by Woodford Mambrino
 2:121a.
 In the sulky behind the chestnut trot'
 ter was MT. Lawson's trainer, Ton
 Marsh, who has the position formerly
 held by James Gatcomb, who was dis : charged for the reason, as stated, tha
 Mir. Lawson would race no horses on the
 grand circuit this year.
 As the horses appeared for the thirc
 heat Boralma was slightly lame. Whe1
 the word was given the two went to thu
 quarter pole at 2:20 gait, with Lort
 Derby leading. The speed was increas 7 ed a trife to the half, with slower timt
 for the remainder of the mile, whicl was won by Lord Derby. and the rae ; was over, as Boralma was so badly in
 iured that he didn't start again. Sum l maries:
