of sports for the day was the list of
horse races. There were good entries
in the event and the large crown fully
appreciated the sport. The only hitch
in the racing was the fouling of Mr..
Schwaner's Docile by Peter II in the
last heat of the running race The lat
ter's jockey was found guilty Of hold
ing Docile's head on the opening stretch
and of attempting to snatch his oppon-
ent,s whip away in the home stretch.
When the judges awarded the heat to
Docile on account of the foul the spec
tators were loud in their approval.
The track record of 2:19 for the mile
was lowered to 2.17 IA by Bell Mine in
the first heat of the free-for-all and
not one OF the FIVE heats was run under
the record. In the last heat fine
greyhound ran with the horses and set
them the pace. His running aroused
great interest among the spectators
and when he finished first he received
hearty round Of applause. The sum-
mary Of the races is:
300 Class-Trot or Pace-Purse $150-
One Mile.
