VIII Arrive from Macon To-day.
TWO All Age, Two Three-Year-Old
and One TwO-Year-OId-Race
Carded for Tomorrow.
To-day, the eve of the commence
want of one of the most promising
race meetings ever held in the state,
will be a busy one with horses and
+orsemen out at the race track, and
+ba runners which will start tomorrow
will be put on fine edge.
The entry books for to-morrow's
races will close to-day at II o'clock.
II is expected that the fields will be
unusually large as owners are anxious
IN get their horses off early in the
game to take advantage of every days
racing they can. There are two events
for all ages, two for 3-year-olds and
one for 2-year-olds, which makes an
excellent card, especially with the
promise of large fields.
Crowds viewed the Runners.
large number of people went out
IN the track in the afternoon to take
a look at the runners, and if possible
70 see a few of them working out. The
race horse holds a strange fascina-
zion for the average man, and the
slender legged, sleek coated runners
were rubbed and petted as they polk
ed inuuiring noses out of their stalls
70 see what manner of people they
were that fiocked around their quar-
tiers.
II is little trouble to keep
stable boys and attendants at
their work, as long as there
are many spectators, for all are proud
to he identified with the horses, and
they take especial pride in taking them
out for walks. When string gets
out on the green for walk, going
round in a circle, one behind the other
the appearance is that of an animated
merry go-round.
How the Horses Worked.
The track was heavy and slow early
In the morning, and the horses were not
asked to do much hard work. Many OF
the runners that arrived from Macon
Sunday were given only enough light
exercise to timber them up after their
trip.
Sam Pack had Ran After out for
strong gallop. He was fighting for his
head. and seemed to be fit. He will be
started Wednesday, perhaps, ana
should give a good account or hlmselI.
Mission and Mazara of the same
string we're shown to light exercise
only.
]. C. Scarborough, a good looking 2
year-old, was breezed a half in :56.
Alec Doyle's Sky Blue breezed half
in 81 This filly is a maiden, but ran
several good races at Toronto ana De-
troit, and is sure to graduate from the'
maiden class during the meeting.
w. C. Capps sent DR.. Guernsey the
mile circuit in 1:57h. He was going
handily all the way, and took kindly to
the going. Bedlam was given strong
gallop twice around the oval

Molly Brooks half in :541s.
The string of H. c. Schultz was out
out in pairs. In the first set were Hon

gether, when Miss McKenna was given
her head and breezed the quarter down
the back stretch in 26.
Shrine, 8 years old, and Moorhen, 2
years old, were given warming up
gallop together, after which they broke
together at the five furlong pole and
worked to the stand in 1:0S easily.
Pearl Finder, and the crack 2-year-
old st. Juvenal, were brought out for
light galloping. Nothing fast was asked
OF st. Juvenal, but Pearl Finder was
sent six furlongs in 1:211a.
j. r. Croker sent Dusky Secret once
around the oval in 1:5715. This FLY

hetchum and w. c. John out for light
exercise only
