Largest Crowd on Record.
The largest crowd that ever attended on
an opening day witnessed the racing yes
terday afternoon. Two events were sched-
uled. but the six-furlong run was declared
off because Of the refusal of the owners
of several Of the horses entered to race
against McFonso, 1t being claimed that his
owner, Mr.. F. R. Keys had been ruled off
the turf. This was denied and the fair off,
Gals stood by Mr.. Keys.
The only race was special match among
Washington horses. This contest had been
looked forward to with considerable in
terest, as 1t had been reported that much
rivalry existed among the owners apd
friends of the various contestants 1t,
however. proved great disappointment.
In the first heat Domino was heavily back
ed to win. although 1t was generally ad-
the bunch. Joe D. led until we'll into the
stretch. when Domino forged to the front
and took the heat by head, Nellie r.
finishing a bad fourth Notwithstanding
she was heavily backed by the knowing
ones to win the second. and the book
makers finally wiped her off the boards,
the tip having reached them that she was
to take the heat. She scored promptly in
this heat and led all the way winning
easily, the heat being trotted in four sec
onds better time than the one in which
she was way back.
The spectators claimed that the first heat
was not truly run, and the managers were
severely criticised for not dealing sum-
Inarily with those responsible for it. The
third and fourth heats were also captured
by Nellie r. In the last heat Mamie D.
fell and for a while 1t was thought she
was seriously i'll, but she quickly recovered
Her driver. Clayton Fahney, was thrown

The concluding feature Of the day was a
base ball game between the Mount Tabor
team of Georgetown and the Sandy Spring
aggregation. It was an interesting and
closely played contest throughout, and was
marked by numerous pretty plays. In the

to continue playing, claiming that it was
too dark. Umpire Russell Brewer took an
other view OF 1t, however, and declared the
game forfeited to Sandy Spring by to o.
