THE ENTRIES FOR TODAY

Fully 1000 people saw the second days racing at the fair grounds yesterday at- ternoon. Again a majority of the favorites were winners, and the books were again heavy losers although not as heavily as the day before
 The feature of the afternoon was the immense crowd which gathered. Before the first horses were brought on the track there were fully 5000 people in the grand stand and hanging along the rail or either side of the judges stand.
 A constant stream of people poured into the grounds throughout the afternoon and by the time the last race was over the number was increased almost 50 per cent Intense interest was shown in the races, but the play on the races was lighter than the opening day This was probably due to the fact that ths horses on the opening day were better known and considered better as a class.
 The hand books lost several hundred dollars yesterday as against almost $2OOO the day before. The wise ones were able to pick the winners yesterday, but the play was light.
 As a rule yesterday the races were close. The two harness events were won in straight heats, Pulsus, who shared the price of 8 to 2, with two other horses, in the race, won both heats of the 2:15 trot and Red Ribbon. at 21h to l. did the same stunt in the 2:25 pace. There were two horses favored more than Red Rib bon for the first heat and his price fell to 2 to g. for the second heat, which he won in the stretch from the second and third horses.
 In the running events Jockey l.. Wilson rode all the winners, although they were not always favorites. Wilson's mounts were played by many on account of his riding them.
 In the first running event Feby Blue won out by a nose from Trossacks, the favorite, at Il to 10. The winner was quot cd at to 5
 Rilda. the second choice in the second running race. was ridden to victory by Wilson. George A. Knight made drive in the stretch but Rlda was game to the end after having led all the way Attrac- tien, the odds on favorite, was third, as he was not we'll
 Mirance, an outsider, quoted at to 1, lead all the way round in the mile and one-sixteenth race, and won in walk in 149 good time for that distance.
 Whippoorwill, a favorite at to 5, took the last event, six furlongs. The three horses which finished in He money were neck and neck in the stretch, but tIe favorite forged ahead when about twenty yards from the wire. The play was heavier on this race than any other and the books were tapped heavily.
