be helped from the ring.

THIRD RACE.
| This brought ont field of seven. and
although it was decided in straight heats

negro driver of Gold Bug came in for a
| good deal of chatting, as he ran his horse
! for three-fourths of mile to avoid the
flag. he being left at the start in the first

FOURTH RACE-Unhnished)
This brought out a field of ten starters
| and was another 'cracka jack" race. The
| large bunch was unwieldy and hard to
| line up, but when the word was given, it
was to fine send-off. The first quarter
OF the hrst heat was negotiated in 32h
seconds and the first half in l.O3ls and
the hopes OF the spectators were raised to
a high pitch, In expectation OF seeing the
track record t2.13l4) smashed. The
leaders eased up, however, I'm the last
half and finished the heat In 21ih. The
| winner was done up by the fast going,
however, and could not keep the pole i'm
the next heat. This was a startler from
the word "Go!" the leader being changed
| at frequent intervals Mace was IN front
at the quarter, Joan at the half Mace
again at SIX furlongs and coming home,
Garnet started from nth place like
whirlwnd and under heavy punishment,
took the neat by nose, with the other
drivers all plying the whip In earnest.
The third heat was won by Garnet under
like conditions, and then, II being too
close 10 night to finish, the race was
postponed until Il sharp tomorrow. SUM
