 Today.
 

Get-Away-Day did not prove snap as was expected and only one of the long shots was able to come under the wire winner. That was Carnival. a rank outsider, and the information was pretty generally circulated that he would win. Accordingly a large bunch of the talent was riding him.
 The races yesterday were remarkably free from roughing of all kinds and as far as any one knows they were straight and not fixed" as is frequently the way on the last day of the meet.
 The judges sent word to the jockeys early in the afternoon that if there was any suspicion that one of the races was not run right the jockey would be sus- pended or expelled, and would not be allowed to ride any more for some time to come As a result there was no jug gling.
 The crowd was lighter yesterday than any day during the fair. probably due to the fact that it was the last day of the meet. There were not over 1900 people on the grounds, but those who were present enjoyed some fine sport.
 In the first race Oberon, a horse which was considered at least second best among the six starters, won easily with Dick Redd second The latter horse was con sdered the best in the race by small margin. Test, rank outsider, belonging to the string of c. s. Wilson, was third. which was as much a surprise to MT. Wilson as to any one else on the track.
 Five horses faced the starter in the first race, Mon Amour being the favorite with Pierpont second and Little Red third choice The last named horse got away first and was still in the lead at the half mile post. with the favorite second and Jovial c, third. At the head of the stretch the favorite took the lead and Little Red dropped back to second place, but in the stretch Leeds brought Perpont from behind with d rush and finished second; Little Red dropped back to third place.
 CarnivaI's Race.
 In the mile event, Mirance got away hrst, but Carnival. at 20 to 1. took the lead and led all the way home Brush ton, the horse picked to win the race was third all the way until half the length of the stretch had been covered when Pendergrast brought him up to second place. Carnival seemed as strong in the stretch as at the start, and none of the other horses could decrease the lead he had secured. Devonshire came up in the stretch and won third place.
 From the very break of the mile and one-eighth event Ernest Parham looked kp he us fn ,te f,f few days ago when he galloped home a winner by several lengths. but the dis tance was too long and he was carrying too much weight In the stretch he weak ened perceptively and Allan, the favor ite, came from second place with rush and finished an easy winner. Bishop Weed, considered the second best horse, also ran strong at the finish and beat out Parham. The other horses were well punched.
 F. J. Pons, owner of Bishop Weed, bid bought him. In retaliation J. II. Slack, owner of Allan, claimed Bishop Weed at $400 and secured him.
 Bernie Creamer looked like sure win ner in the last race, and galloped home with an easy lead over the other horses. He was second at the break and second at the head of the stretch. Precious Stone got away first and was in the lead until the head of the stretch was reach ed, when Creamer, Prestige and Many Thanks passed him. He wore himself out at the barrier by repeatedly breaking through and trying to get away in the lead of the bunch.
 Mary Gordon was sent against the track record of 2;061a twice yesterday afternoon, but failed each time. The best she could do was to go the mile. paced by runner, in 2;11 Paced by an automobile she went fairly well until the stretch was reached, when she broke badly and finished several seconds slower than her previous time.
 J. c. Turner, driving Ford was an easy winner in the automobile race. He ran away from the other three machines entered and finished more than sixteenth of mile ahead of the next machine in | a two mile race.
